Hello!
I just bought the apple tv 4k. It is connected to an older Sony LED 48" display from 2012-2013.
I do not see a Chroma option in mine but the rest I have set as per your advice, i.e. 1080p SDR(as it is an older 1080p panel) followed by HDMI to YCbCr and finally Match Range and Frame rate.

I would like to know if I should fruther Calibrate with the front facing camera to TV method or leave it as is. I mainly use the Apple TV for YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.

Thank you for your time : )

Just like you said, I enabled HDR when setting it up and the screen immediately washed out. Glad I found this video.

Randomly found this video and I'm so glad that I found it! Thank you so much for this! Now I'm watching the latest Avengers movie the way it was intended 🙌😁

Just setting up my new TV. This is the most helpful video I have ever seen on the subject. Thank you!!!

[surfinhim]

That was so helpful, thank you! I’ve had my HDR setting wrong all this time and now the display looks so much better!

Great video. Thanks from Lübeck/Germany

This was very helpful, i use a Philips 70" 4k tv and the picture got so much better with these settings ! :)

[spritbussen]

Great video. I used it years ago. Do you have an updated video for the latest apple tv in 2023.

[AnthonyTaylor]

The SDR advice was simple yet amazing, thanks!

Thanks for the upload. I am a streaming app tester on tvOS and the device wants to automatically set to Dolby Vision output. Of course, doing this introduced all kinds of artifacts. Glad to know why now and how to set up the device so that I won't see them.

Awesome informative video, I chose to use HDR in setup, because I have an HDR tv, so obvious choice right? Once I changed to your settings, all was right in the world. In Apple TV HDR mode, it locked the settings for my qled samsung tv. Also a lot of shows were very dark on Netflix. All is fixed now, THANK YOU!!!

I've had an apple TV 4K for a year now and I randomly came across and my quality just got so much better following this!!! I'm so mad I didn't find this earlier, Wtf. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[mayor]

You have forever changed my viewing experience!!! I was wondering why the quality looked horrible. Thanks!

[goopery]

This was really helpful! Finally watching TV the right way since buying the 4K Apple TV 🙌🏼

Great video folks! My Apple TV 4k is my primary source for viewing 4k content. Off to reset my AppleTV 4k I go! Thank you much. UPDATE: I put the exact same settings on my Apple TV that you did in your video. Watched some HDR, and SDR content. The picture quality is awesome. Thanks again!

What do you set your TV to? I have a 4K LG OLED and it does not have similar picture setting, TV has more like Cinema, Vivid, Sports..Thanks in advance

Thanks for the helpful tip on SDR setting!
My Samsung Q95T TV does not support Dolby Vision and when I use Apple TV 4K box and set picture format to HDR, I noticed almost all movies are forced to Dolby Vision and always appear to be darker and less sharp compare to the built in Apple TV APP. I thought there was something wrong with my TV but now after I set it to SDR everything is much brighter and sharper! Thanks again!! :)

Literally saw your video in my feed and not sure but you have revived my viewing experience!!!! Thank you! I thought I had everything set up perfectly with dolby vision enabled match content blah blah, but wondered why the picture varied so much and was never pleased 100% of the time. Well this is why. Thank you again!
Only question I have now is why 50hz over 60hz? I chose 4kSDR 60hz on mine after watching your video Im assuming its based on the tv? My tv can do 60 so I should chose it over 50 correct? Thanks again!
