Hi everyone
I have the new Apple TV and I’m incredibly disappointed in the way HDR has been implemented.
On other 4K/HDR devices I have the entire OS stays in SDR and then if a HDR or Dolby Vision video is presented the tv switches to the relevant settings and everything always looks great.
With Apple TV you have to set it to the setting your tv can handle and leave it there.
I have set my TV to 30fps Dolby Vision and while Dolby Vision movies look great. Everything else looks terrible.
SDR content looks unsaturated with the brights being too bright and the darks being too dark.
The menu screen is even worse. No vibrant colours and the whites all look orange. The YouTube logo is a very dull red etc.
The flyover wallpapers are similar. The one in Dubai daytime.... everything that is white turns a horrible purple. If I go to tv settings and change the white balance a little warmer it improves this screensaver but when going back to the menu it looks horrendous with the whole screen looking orange.
The only way to make viewing the majority of the content is to leave it on SDR the whole time and manually switch to HDR or Dolby Vision as and when is needed. But this doesn’t seem like something I should have to do with an Apple product.
Is anyone else feeling the same way?
