Dolby Atmos can work with any TV, but there are caveats. For optimal experience, your TV should support Dolby Atmos and have HDMI eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) to pass the Atmos signal to a compatible device like a soundbar or AV receiver. If your TV lacks eARC, you can still achieve Dolby Atmos by connecting your audio device directly to the content source (e.g., streaming box, Blu-ray player) via HDMI.
