Netogy Nova Feedback

Should I be setting the device’s display mode to 4k2k-23.976hz?

I assume that would remove the soap opera effect.

When would you want to use 60,50,30,25hz?

Never mind. The TV mode for that input had true motion enabled
 
Anyone here using the Nova with a JBL Bar 500 or greater soundbar. I cannot get it to work connected directly to the soundbar HDMI input (anything above 1080p causes screen to flash constantly)

Connected to the TV works correctly and I get 4k and audio outputs correctly through the soundbar.

Have you let it auto decide what resolution etc to push ?
What if you manually set resolutions in settings ?
 
I'm also considering buying a Dolby Atmos soundbar. But my issue is the Nova Box seems not to be able to decode Atmos sound. My question is, will the Atmos soundbar be able to play true Atmos sound effects since Nova doesn't decode Atmos sound but the content it will play will have Atmos?

On auto it does not work, and the screen just flashes, almost seems to reset and get a weird green screen before it reverts back to the flashing screen.

If I connect the box to the TV hdmi and manually set to 1080p and then plug it back into the JBL it works

No. You will get 5.1 only. Atmos part will simply not play and to be honest, with a soundbar you won't even know the difference

It will on Apple TV, Tidal and Amazon. It won’t on Netflix.

Some of them can actually be ok in the right setting with normal height ceiling. In fact, many people prefer bouncing off a ceiling rather than the direct overhead speakers, unless you have heigh ceilings

Im not following. From the specs I saw it does not support atmos. So it will simply drop that part from the source file to the soundbar. An atmos soundbar is just plain surround if the input doesnt have atmos

They don’t mention it on the specs because there are apps that don’t - specifically Netflix.

If they advertise as Dolby Atmos and apps like Netflix don’t do it, it’ll be a huge thing with people returning the box.

Are you saying a netogy nova supports atmos? I see no evidence of that

That’s exactly what I’m saying. But it’s limited. And not advertised

Maybe plug one in ? It isn’t a secret

It's easier to say no than to say yes*** and then list the limitations or have to deal with people that can't read.

100%

It’s a neat little bonus if you have Atmos on apps … and if you don’t - well - they never told you it did it, so you can’t moan
