I don't see much mentioned on ATMOS. Watching a new Netflix series, The Gentleman, we noticed that the sound is awesome. Enveloping. FINE imaging. Then I noticed that it is encoded via ATMOS. Any reason why I don't see anything written about it? Is it that new?

If you are watching The Gentlemen and do not have an Atmos setup (including height speakers), you aren't hearing Atmos. You're hearing Dolby Digital+ while watching a series that may be well recorded (I haven't heard it).

I do not have an Atmos system (just 5.2), but if I stream Atmos material from my Apple TV+ 4K device, my AVR reads "Dolby Atmos." The sound is no different than if I turn off Atmos in the Apple device--and then the AVR dial shows Dolby Digital+.

Yes, it's very impressive and you need height speakers to realize its potential. It was first used in home theater in 2016. By far Dolby's best surround sound technology.

pbarach can tell you that my posts over on Classical are probably getting annoying because of my compulsion to mention Atmos every chance I get! Most of the Atmos recordings I experience these days are music rather than movies - via Apple Music (with their lossy streaming - which still sounds great to me!) using the Apple TV 4K device. With my discrete 5.1.4 system, I'm in Dolby Atmos heaven! ;-)

Do a Google Search on Dolby Atmos; there is a lot of information to be found.

Unless you have an Atmos setup with speakers on the ceiling, what you're hearing is just a well-recorded Dolby Digital+ soundtrack.
