I'm very intrigued; my new TCL supports this and the room its in is not optimal for a surround theater so strategically placing speakers around the room sounds like a winner

Setting up surround sound has always been a headache, and that’s coming from someone who reviews home audio systems for a living. You get all the speakers, untangle a web of wires, scratch your chin about where to place them and half the time it still doesn’t sound quite in sync with your TV.
Simply put, surround sound tends to be more intimidating than immersive.
That’s precisely the pain point Dolby is going after with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect. Instead of punishing you for not having a perfectly measured home theater, FlexConnect promises to make Dolby Atmos sound its best with whatever you’ve got. Whether it’s one speaker or a multi-speaker setup, FlexConnect will automatically recognize and adapt software-supporting hardware to your room layout.

Watching some action-packed movie scenes, I could hear roaring plane engines zip from one side of the room to the other. When an explosion went off, the bass punched harder than expected while smaller details seemed to fly out toward both back corners of the room — even though only one rear corner had a Z100.

Nope but sounds legit.
I think 90% of people that had home theaters in their living rooms back in the 2000s have fallen victim to Chip and Diana and are stuck with puny sound bars now.
Adding real flexibility to Atmos spatial sound could re-open doors for a lot of people if they can just squeeze in a few discrete or pleasant looking speakers wherever convenient.

guilty. i had a mac-daddy setup once upon a time but unless you have the money to devote to create a special home theater room, all that garbage doesn't really fit the modern aesthetic these days.

exactly. some fresh blood needs to be injected into the 'soundbar vs dedicated AVR getup' conversation.

IDGAF. I have a 5.2.4 setup in my living room with two 5 foot tall towers as the main speakers.

Sony has the best product on the market for the people who need what you're describing. They started with the HT-A9 and the newest model is called the Theatre Quad.
TCL and Hisense have recently entered the market at a more budget friendly price point.

with Dolby officially pushing the Flexconnect setup, i'll be really curious which one emerges on top.
They got that name going for them but then again, we know what happened to Bose
