I'm always tickled when I see soundbars that ostensibly support Dolby Atmos.

Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology. The most basic speaker setup for it is 5.1.2: 5 = front left and right, centre, rear left and right 1 = subwoofer (bass box) 2 = ceiling speakers

So a soundbar - a single block sat in the centre below the screen - claiming to do immersive surround sound is up there with gold-plated fibreoptic leads.

To add on, it supports up to 20.1.10 and that is where the protocol may shine. However, full spacial sound is not new, and Atmos is just Sony's proprietary version.

I stole the "sound stick" bit from Benn Jordans blunt overview on atmos: https://youtu.be/5Dw3aKbw5Wo

(Atmos is all caps as well? Meh, whatever.)
