Apple TV 4K HDR/ Dolby Vision issue fix; turn off “Match Dynamic Range”

My setup is Apple TV 4k 2017 1st Generation and LG CX TV.

I am unsure if the given issue applies to 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TV 4k, but worth the try.

I am sure "Match Dynamic Range" did work at some point, but it isn't currently working for me, and need to be turned off.

Thank you for this. Solved the washed out Disney+ issue.

I agree with your assessment. I have the 2022 ATV 4K and have the Format set to ‘4K SDR‘ and match dynamic range/ frame rate turned ‘On’. I noticed my Samsung screen was very dark watching scenes from ‘Silo’ on Apple TV+. Once I turned off the match dynamic range, it corrected the dark screen problem.

I have the latest Apple TV & I don’t have that problem only thing I have is the blacking out for a few seconds on the match dynamic range… Dolby vision is darker so bright lights in videos don’t cause glares and to much brightness where light blocks out some of the scene 😂

You have to put your format to 4k SDR and match dynamic range to on because if your tv is always on DV even on the main menu when you start a DV movie your apple tv have nothing to match so it show you hdr instead of DV.

All you are doing is telling the TV to display everything in Dolby Vision or HDR when you turn off Match Dynamic Range and change the format to 4K HDR or 4K Dolby Vision.

I have an Apple TV 4K 2021 and a Sony Bravia X95K mini led. And when I first set everything up Dolby Vision was working. Then about 2 weeks in it stopped giving me that as a picture option. So I bought a new HDMI thinking it was my current one. But now I turned off "match dynamic range" and I have Dolby Vision back for watching Amazon Prime and Netflix.

Thank you for the help sir.

I think you just solved y the same problem I'm having with the shield tv on my LG c1

Can you tell me if the series Harlots is available in 2160p HDR or dolby vision?

[SofiaTheFirst]

I kept it on dolby vision but left dynamic on but match content off and its settled
Am i still getting dolby vision ?

If you turn off match content you’re not letting the Apple do it for you automatically

Hi, can you use apple tv 4k without having any other apple devices like iphone, ipad etc. I have Sony TV with Dolby vision and Denon Klipsch home theatre for Dolby Atmos, and was thinking of buying Apple TV 4K for best TV streaming experience, but I do not have/own any apple devices, so just want to know if i will be able to setup and use apple tv 4k for streaming with full features, UHD Dolby vision & Atmos.

Colours on my Apple tv look washed up and a little out of focus. But they good when viewing through normal tv. What could be causing this? My tv is a 2017 LG UHD 4K. Thanks.

Keep tv in 4k SDR for best tv quality or get new tv
