There are huge savings to be made on both, so check them out below and upgrade your Apple TV viewing experience.

Want sound to not only come from all around you, but from overhead too? Then you'll need a Dolby Atmos sound system. This all-in-one five channel soundbar will fill your room with sound thanks to up-and-side firing speakers, along with its front-facing ones, and offers 4K passthrough with Dolby Vision support for a really cinematic experience. This is a strong saving – previously we've seen this item drop to $327, so today knocks a real chunk further off that RRP.

"Sound is half the picture" said movie maestro and Star Wars creator George Lucas, and if you've got a great TV but no sound system, you're not doing your home cinema sessions justice.

5.1 audio will really elevate your experience, giving a sense of directionality to the soundstage that a TV alone can rarely produce. Whether it's the direction of shots fired in a war scene, or the buzz of a club in a rom-com, you'll feel more immersed in whatever you're watching.

If you really want to go all in, make the leap to Dolby Atmos. Whether using discrete ceiling speakers or up-firing channels that bounce audio off your ceiling, it adds an extra dimension of height to proceedings, and can be transformative with high-end audio content. And remember: Apple TV supports Dolby Atmos, too.
