Question 1

Anyone try Disney plus Atmos yet?

Accepted Answer

Ok...just thought I would share this though I think its more of a 'work around' than an actual permanent solution to the problem.

Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 software version 8.2.0 (latest)
Disney+ app version 1.10 (latest)

Still no HDR nor Atmos available when trying to play content that should support it. Only HD and 5.1 available.

But the fix and/or work around was this. Go to:
Settings --> Device Preferences --> Display & Sound --> Resolution

It was set at the top option: "4k 59.940Hz (default)". I had set it to the third option: "4k 23.976Hz HDR10 Ready"

Once I set this option, I was able to get the Disney+ content in HDR and Dolby Atmos without issue. However the reason I think this might be more of a work around than a fix is because my Sony XBR75X800G 'should' be able to support 4k 59.940Hz. It doesn't have Dolby Vision (though I wish it did. :( ) but does support HDR10.

Anyway, hope this little piece of information is helpful to some. If anyone has any additional info as to why this is or anything new that might be a better solution, I would love to hear it.

Thanks!

Question 2

The pervious version had a 500GB internal hard drive, what is the size in this version?

Accepted Answer

The model you are describing was the 2015 model. Since then they released the 2017 model and this, the 2019 model. The 2019 model had 3GB system memory, and 16GB storage. With 2X USB 3.0 ports, you can expand both internal storage, and as much external storage as you want.

Yes. Xb1 Bluetooth and 8bitdo controllers also work without problems. Basically, Nvidia Shield TV Pro is an Android 9 device. All controllers that work on Android 9 will work with the Shield TV Pro.
