Had I known this before, I wouldn't have spent hundreds of hours looking for a fix to the menu screen's washed out colors. Now I know that the 4K SDR format is the menu's default/native setting. Thank you so much for pointing this to us!!! You blokes rock!
Great, learned something new today:) I have a question about the latest Apple TV 4K 2022. I can choose between 4K HDR HDR10+, or 4K SDR. Will I also here the apple tv auto change to HDR10+ when i play content supporting it if i choose 4K SDR in the menu (+ the other settings in the video)?
Finally after dozens of videos I met you guys. With an Apple TV and a LG BX and I knew I could more out of it. Yesterday on white lotus my tv was amazing 🤩 Thank you. Now let see the audio…
Hi you've been posting some great content which i keep watching , I’ve got the marantz AV- 7706 Processor i want to hook-up the new apple tv 4k to my processor, want to know if I'll be able to stream 4k dolby atmos content from Netflix, Prime , Disney etc. to my processor which is hooked up to my LG G3-77 inch TV.
@@morrison22 we don’t seem to be having issues with this? Will check it out but then again we generally watch movies so RUclips is not a predominant source of content in our cinema rooms. Good to get this feedback thank you.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering Yes, it only appears to be an issue with the RUclips app on AppleTV. It has never played HDR content in HDR. Would love your feedback on this when you test it out.
So I tried the 4K HDR....too weird a screen picture....settled on 4K SDR.... works great. TV allowed those settings. ....got the frame and range turned on.....can’t do 444 on the Chroma....the 4.2 setting is what I’m allowed.....TV is 5yrs old.....Apple TV 4K is newer....thanks for the tips.....
Thank you much for this video. I was already contemplating on returning an 85 inch TV which was already mounted on the wall. After this, the difference in picture quality, color, and blacks are just enormous. I am completely happy with my TV and my setup. You guys are great.
Can you make a video on how to connect a Dolby Atmos soundbar to the Apple TV 4K and what settings you should use for the audio portion under the video and audio tab?
Bought an HD Fury after I saw your Video about it. I can confirm LLDV works on my projector with good results. Can not wait for your HD Fury Video. I would appreciate it in you go a little bit in depth with this topic. Love your channel!
Hi Chris, yes its pretty cool. We are sadly rather busy with other things youtube is time consuming but yes we have some good videos planned. An interview with the chap who discovered this, plus a step by step walk through. We think this is a big deal... thanks for your interest
But what about when you're watching regular cable tv and you're channel surfing, won't these settings drive you nuts waiting for the handshake to finish on each and every channel you go through basically? Think (RUclipsTV) on AppleTV.
Just wanted to thank you for this video. I've had my AppleTv for close to a year and was extremely satisfied with the visual quality. I thought setting it to DV was obvious because I specifically I bought a tv and AppleTv for DV. After changing the settings, I squeezed more juice out of a tv I already loved.

Hi just got a Sonos arc and sub 3 and Apple TV 4K when I Watch a movie that is in from Apple+ and Atmos i’m not getting it do I need to change any settings on the Apple TV? I spoke to Samsung support they said my TV is compatible for pass through i’m connected to the a Arc so what am I doing wrong any suggestions does Atmos just work I would see in the S2 app any help would be greatly appreciated love the videos
Audio sync Can you show some fixes for that? Audio out of sync in some apps Running apple tv to onkyo reciever then out to tv. Both reciever and tv support all formats. U rock! Thanks
We would love to but we are not experiencing this.. to be able to do this we would need to buy the same avr and TV as yours and this channel only earns about $98 per month :-) If however we do find this problem we will troubleshoot it..
What I’ve read the only work around for atmos on an arc is that device he mentioned in the video that converts the signal into atmos surround the “had fury device”. I found on google listed at $250 plus
Hey, I just want to say thank you for this, part 1 & 2. I’m not into my picture quality or audio to create that theatrical experience but I love to know what my tech can do and the limitations and this really helped me. The one that caught me out was the resetting of the device after a software update, didn’t realise it had done that so just refereed back to your video. Thank you again from the UK
Thanks for clearing up the HDR issue. I was hesitant to use hdr since it does sharpen the colors but seems to also shed a grey tone to the picture. Now with the switch I get the best of both worlds. Thank you!
A follow-up/update on this would be great. There’s a new setting on appletv since this video to match original content so I’m wondering if it makes sense now to set the output setting to Dolby vision and then also match content?
We have the latest atv with os16.1 and we have just tested it and the settings are the same as the video with the same outcomes.. and in any case no if you want your sdr displayed properly on and hdr/dv capable display You still need the settings this way.
I came across your video. Thanks for this!!!! I have a question regard my setup. I have a Sony str dh590 receiver. Should I connect my Apple TV 4K by using the pass through or connect the Apple TV directly to my Sony 4K TV then use optical cable for sound from tv to receiver? I am also using a high speed hdmi cable from ATV to receiver to TV. I saw little difference with settings that you recommended. I just want to make sure I maximize the 4K Dolby vision
Question, since I am not going to use Dolby Vision setting on my Apple TV, should I use my iPhone to calibrate my display???? Am never going to get a professional calibration.
To be honest we have never used the iphone calibration. We should test that and compare to an actual calibration sometime. So I can't really answer that. I guess the best thing to do is try and look at the results...
Thats a really good question. This may sound simplistic but if it is working then NO. If you are having issues then yes. In terms of quality though many would disagree the answer is no. No need to spend stupid amounts on an HDMI cable AS LONG AS IT IS DELIVERING ALL OF THE NEEDED REQUIREMENTS. In otherwords as long as you are getting the resolution frame rate colour space bit depth and feature you want then all is well.
Hi HTE, That was very informative, thanks. I have a q? that is driving me mad with my new Apple TV+. When it's directly connected to my LG SN8YG soundbar (connected to TV via HDMI arc), I get Dolby Atmos. When playing non Atmos movies soundbar says PCM. If I connect Apple TV+ direct to TV via HDMI (hd compable port), When playing non Atmos movies soundbar says Dolby Sound, and does sound better. Why?
My tv supports hdr, but the picture is dull with washed out colours whenever Itry to play hdr content. I don't have apple tv 4k. I want to know if my tv performance will improve with Apple tv 4k with "Format" set at akSDR and "Match Content" set to OFF. Thanks
This is a great video. I would advise caution on the frame rate option though. Some displays that are native 60hz (or 59.97) cannot display 24p content properly and end up doing some whacked out interpolation to make it fit. I'd advise turning frame match off to get a more proper frame rate/motion. Most modern projectors don't tend to have this issue but I have seen some also have trouble with true 24p content.
Great tutorial guys! Quick question about HDR10 bit rate. I have apple tv connected to Onkyo receiver, which is contacted to Benq projector ht3550. When I force HDR 60hz on apple tv (match content/rate Off), and play HDR movie on disney+ for example, I see my onkyo statistics showing 4.2.0 30 bits 59hz. However, if I turn the match On in apple tv. The onkyo states showes 4.2.2 24 bits 23.9 hz. In both use cases my benq projector shows BT2020 color space. I am confused why I get 24 bits when I turn Match On and play HDR 10 content? Thank you
My Apple TV 4K doesn't have that 'Enable Dolby Vision' setting under Video and Audio. Would it only show up if I have a Dolby Vision TV attached to it, which I don't, but plan to soon...or should it be there anyway?
I am using sony 4k projector with apple4k tv although i set it up to your setting an it looked great and after running my projector for a hr i got a flickering green screen no video. It happens multiple times but after using amazon firestick there was no problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. pple tv does appear to have better picture then the firestick
Andrew, Sorry for asking this on this older vid. I am considering buying an Apple TV 4K box to upgrade from my Roku Ultra. I hope it will be an upgrade. I'm asking because my TV is an older Sharp Aquos 70" that is wonderful, but only 1080P. Do you think I will be happy with my purchase of the Apple TV box? And, any settings advice would appreciated greatly. Thank you and all the very best, Kevin
Its hard to say but yes I think if you like the apple ecosystem it should be fine and for a 1080P tv the settings out of the box should be just fine until you switch to an HDR display.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering Andrew, thanks! Just dipping my toes in the Apple realm. It's likely a bad idea, but I hear it may be the best streamer at this time.
Thanks for detailed video, I’ll try these settings have been facing problem with Sony A8F, some dark scenes looks very ugly, I see patchy greens and image doesn’t look clear. Hopefully this will resolve the issue.
The apple TV will output the signal aspect ratio It is sent it’s the display that you need to manage the aspect ratio with. Some people zoom the image of a Scope movie on their TVs some use lenses and or video processors with their projectors. The black bars never “go away” they need to be managed
Hi thanks for commenting. Ok so no we are not using LLDV for several reasons. 1) We are using a MadVR for tone mapping. 2) despite popular consensus Dolby Vision is not as great as is thought. It’s perceptual quantiser is a bit of a mess and in some ways HDR10/HDR10+ can be better..that’s a much deeper topic. Hope this helps.
Thanks - yes always use these settings. Just about to move house and have a new projector which is 4K and HDR. Interested to see how you got your projector to output Dolby Vision - I know projectors aren't bright enough to really do it. Also interested to know if it was an improvement on a projector over HDR.
Ah we were waiting for that question. Projectors don't do HDR (there are 1 or 2 but mostly no). So we achieved this with an HDFury DIVA that uses the Dolby Vision LLDV metadata and fools the source into thinking the Projector can do DV. It does take some setting up and we will definitely be doing a great video on this. The HDFury also allows us to display the metadata so we can absolutely prove what is happening. Finally projectors can produce amazing HDR but they need to be calibrated properly. Yes the light output is limited but there are EOTF or Gamma curves that work with the range of the projector and produce incredible results with decent projectors.
I have the HD Fury Vertex 2 and use the ll DV method described for Dolby Vision. The Apple TV is doing the tone mapping using Dolbys algorithms and send it out as scene adjusted HDR10. So done in the player rather than display. In my view Dolbys method gives much better results than what ever Apple was doing to convert DV to HDR10 and what my projector was then doing to tone map that it is capabilities. The HD fury allows you to enter in custom edid data to customize what it tells the DV decoder your display is capable of. Peak and avg luminance and the xy coordinate of the colour gamut if you know them from calibration. So it allows you to tweak brightness etc to your likings with its tone mapping. It made a massive difference for Apple TV DV content for me. DV often looked worse than SD. Dark and dull. The HD Fury is not cheap but was worth it for me. It has some other useful features like masking, custom triggering rs232 command to the projector to change picture settings based on input content etc. (Eg. If SD then change brightness from 0 to -2 etc).
Thank you. I had the apple 4k tv for about 6 months now and just assumed Dolby Vision was the one to use as that is suppose to be the best. But it did make the menu screen look very bright, which is unnecessary. I have OLED TV's and don't want to use the extra brightness. The Apple TV really seems like it wants you to use Dolby Vision all the time. I just changed it to 4k SDR and it is better and you still get Dolby Vision when the source is DV. Apple should know this and tell people how to set these up correctly like you guys have stated. I would bet that 95% of people have Dolby Vision set for everything like I did. I guess using DV all the time make SDR look like DV with upscaling and maxing out the contrast and brightness.
Thank you!!! I have been struggling with this for a awhile. Dolby Vision would not work on its setting with my Sony, Onkyo receiver. You cleared it all up. Onkyo, Sony and Apple had no clue! Thank you so much
Hi its not a massive deal. Its more related to the country you are in so USA would normally be 60Hz and UK Australia 50Hz. Bear in mind this is only relevant in SDR and not HDR anyway as the match range and rate then kick in.
HD Fury Diva in this case. The HD Fury Vertex 2 does the same. Main advantage is allowing lldv Dolby Vision on displays without DV. Including peojectors
We thought about it but that has been relevant across ever tvOS so far on the appletv4k so mentioning any specific tvOS would make people think it’s not relevant to current, which were at the time future, releases .
Thanks so much. I have one question. When I go to the video settings of my AppleTV 4K I don’t see anything that says enable Dolby Vision. I only see the enable hdr which seems to work fine. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again.
It is difficult to say without knowing more but I would suspect that maybe your tv or projector doesn't support Dolby vision? You could also try resetting your appletvs resolution (check appletv instructions) or power cycle it but other than that more info would be needed.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering My TV does support Dolby Vision but my 2016 Onkyo receiver does not. So, I need to upgrade the receiver which I'm willing to do. Do you feel that Dolby Vision makes a difference? Just want your opinion. Thanks
@@PixelGuy22there may be a setting in your Receiver that you need to change. When I first connected my Apple TV 4K to my Receiver it gave me an error message that it could not do 4K HDR. Only 4K SDR. I had to go into it's Advanced Setup function to access this and switch between the 2 modes. Now my Sony TV get 4K HDR. There is a REDDIT thread talking about something similar, and how to access the menu to change that. www.reddit.com/r/hometheater/comments/cspc53/psa_4k_60hz_hdr_onkyo_receiver_passthrough/ This info should be somewhere in the manual too. I found it in mine, but I didn't notice this obscure setting when I first set it up. Or try contacting the tech support to see if there is a way to change that to get Dolby Vision pass-thru your receiver to see on your TV.
@@_Volt_Ron_ Thanks. I contacted Onkyo and they verified no Dolby Vision on my model. Since moved on to a Yamaha receiver and all is well with Dolby Vision.
Hi Im a bit confused with the numbers you have posted here. there is 60Hz or 59.94 Hz but it doesn’t really matter. In theory 59.94Hz is the “traditional” rate so select that. Either will normally work unless your display is not behaving well with 60Hz. but most of all ensure match range and rate are ON then you are fine.
This has been answered quite a few times in these comments. But the answer is it doesn’t really matter that much. It was originally a regional thing 50hz for UK and Europe (PAL) and 60hz for USA (NTSC) but if you have selected match range and rate then it will select the correct frame rate anyway. So lacking any other information go 60hz in USA and 50hz in EU etc :-)
Thank you for clarifying the 4K SDR setting for me. My TV is a Samsung 8K (Q900R) and I have never been quite sure how to setup the video settings. I am so glad you clarified that the Apple TV auto switches back and forth and why the TV flashes for a few seconds (handshaking). When will you be doing the best settings for the Apple TV 2021?
Thanks guys, those setting you showed fixed a cross talk issue I had. The disney plus app, Dolby Atmos had so much static, and my sound bar was going ape shit. I put the video setting like you displayed, no static issues. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for your videos! I’ve noticed that the sound is « sliding » from its calibration quite rapidly after setting the Apple TV 4K to play the sound on my amplifier Bluetooth connection. Any idea on how to solve that?
I’m sorry I don’t understand. What do you mean by “sliding” and what “calibration” are you referring to? This video covers the video settings and does not deal with the audio settings.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering I can sync the Bluetooth audio so that lips and sound are at the same speed but progressively, the sound and the image go out of synchronization and I have a sizable delay in the image versus the sound (or vice-versa it depends how we look at things).
@@yanna.9145 We never use Bluetooth for audio for a bunch of reasons. Issues like this being one. I doubt the problem is the appletv but can you not use a cabled connection?
@@HomeTheatreEngineering normally use the optical cable connexion from my TV to my amplifier but this forces me to use a second remote as my amplifier is inside a cabinet and the Apple TV remote can’t control it
Asked the Dolby Vision question in Part 1 Video and just answered here. So while watching your video I took my Apple TV off of the Dolby Vision 4K 60Hz and used your settings, Loaded Disney + and the first thing I noticed was how the menu colors just pop now. Just watched the Mandalorian last night and knew it was DV so watched part of it again today and actually noticed a better picture. I just bought the LG 75NANO99 and am impressed with upscaling to 8k. Thanks to your settings will enjoy my Apple TV more.
Hi I think you may not have watched the video through. At the beginning we are testing the display but we clearly say that once the testing is done switch the settings to SDR and match range and rate.
In the 2021 ATV 4K setting, it doesnt have the "Enable Dolby Vision" field. It just has the format and the rest of the stuff. Now when I set-up per above, and then when I select content on Netflix/Itunes for 4K Dolby Vision content, it is recognizing it likewise. My TV settings capture it as DV and has the color callibrations changed automatically. Now looks like there is an issue with HDR content on Amazon Prime, on ATV4K. It doesn't stream in HDR but 4K SDR. I have raised it in Apple forum and there's no resolution in sight.
We have. Check out "Dolby Vision on everything" video. This explains that we can use the HDFury Diva to access LLDV on any display. There is more to come on this..
Really dont like switching between HDR/SDR, aspecially in Netflix App, TV blacking out, displaying messages about no signal etc… Whats wrong using default behaviour and force the HDR all the time? Are SDR movies displayed incorectly in HDR mode? As I understant it just look brighter because of HDR mode on TV is set to higher brightness/backlit. Or just in general HDR modes on TV are not good for SDR content?
First of all it’s your system you can do what you want.. Ok a few issues here. HDR and SDR are 2 entirely different things, different colour space different luminance etc. so if you want to see things as they were created then yes follow these instructions. Yes SDR movies are displayed incorrectly if HDR is forced. No it’s not just brighter because the backlight turns up!!!! The source material in HDR is mastered at an entirely different nit range.. hence.. high dynamic range and again entirely different colour space. If you are watching on a tv then the blank period should be momentary..at the end of the day it’s your call
@@HomeTheatreEngineering thank you for your answer, I am swtiching between these settings, figuring what will suits me most, right now am trying your (and not only your as I learned) recommended settings…
A bit late to the show but thanks for a great video. Very clear and understandable. I did have one issue after using your settings. After turning everything on as specified, I began getting some pretty serious lip sync issues between my 2017 Apple TV4K, my Denon S760H AVR (new Costco model) and my Sony A80J. It was happening on all sources….Amazon, Disney, Apple TV+ and Netflix. I have the Apple TV plugged into the Denon (with my other sources) and then run them all to the TV through HDMI 3 (eARC). I tried the lip sync adjustments on the Denon. Nothing worked. After a few hours, I finally saw a suggestion to turn OFF frame rate matching in the ATV4K settings. Lo and behold, that cured all my lip sync issues on every service thru the ATV. So I will leave it off for now. But any ideas why the lip sync would be an issue with frame rate matching turned on? And by leaving it off, what am I losing, if anything? And would the 2021 model solve this issue? Again thanks for a great video and site. I am a new subscriber.
Hello 👋🏻 I just got an Apple TV 4K and yes the video and audio is set on 4K SDR. let’s say I’m watching a HRD movie, do I have to manually change the setting on Apple tv to 4K HRD or does it switch automatically having installed the right HDMI cables and my tv support HDR. I appreciate your reply and thanks a lot for your great video!!! 🤗
This works perfectly to me overall, but no with Plex app running DV 4K content. It gets a purple and green tint. Someone knows how to correctly setup Plex app and Apple TV to run dolby vision videos?
sounds like a signal issue like your ATV is sending RGB and your TV is not working with that or some similar issue. There are a lot of settings going on here between plex and appletv and your display so its probably a bit outside of a quick youtube reply.
Thank you! I had no idea how to set my Apple TV 4K properly. I thought you didn’t get the momentary black out screen when having your TV connected via eARC.
Very good video. There is somuch difference after i changed the settings of my apple tv 4k. But there are some issues. Everytime when i come back from the movie it takes couple of seconds to view the menu. There is black screen for few seconds. Also i have a atmos sound system and there is a glitch sound everytime we go back from the movie. So i need to switch back to default settings
I have a Samsung neo qled. [qn85d 85’’]. I find the picture quality best when I put it in 4K HDR10+ with match content and frame rate on. and chroma in 4:2:2. I find it the best on my tv cause Samsung doesn’t support Dolby vision yet, I have to put it in 4K HDR10+. I guess the settings differ from TV to TV. For ex:- UHD TVs are best when set to 4K SDR. All in all really pleased with my Apple TV 4K purchase. It’s a beast!!
By setting the system interface to 50Hz, the screensavers are not smooth. But if I put it on 60Hz, there are apps in Spain (including RUclips) that don't adapt the content and it looks laggy.
We would like to. The NVidia is not an area we have massive expertise in but we do want to get on top of that and when we really come to terms with it then yes we would love to do that. Thanks for asking
I tried these settings and have the option to enable 4K, as mentioned to “leave it on SDR 4K” as the default. When I check the Sony TV HDMI input, HDR signal is off. When I set the Apple TV back to 4K HDR, the TV HDMI input signal shows “HDR” making me think my TV is not automatically getting an HDR signal for HDR content? I don’t have a 3rd party tool like you are using to verify if this is correct or not. Any thoughts if HDR signal is being sent correctly from the Apple box using the recommended settings in your video?
CJ Manley there are a few things possible here. Not all content or the menus are HDR so unless you are actually playing an HDR movie it won’t show as HDR that is the point of matching Range so check that out first
Hey guys great video! Is it ok to leave default at 4K SDR 60hz instead of 50hz if i live in AUstralia? The reason i want it at 60Hz is most apps run at 60Hz natively. What do you think? P.S: I have Match frame rate and dynamic range on irrespective of 50Hz vs 60Hz
This solved issues I was getting with blank screens in RUclips each time it switched between ads and content when the appletv was set to DV. It would flash the DV label and then show said ad or content.
My TV is a 2017 65” Samsung MU6290. Is it worth turning on HDR on this TV? I understand this particular tv does not have a wide gamut. Also, my ATV 4K is connected to my Sony STR-DN1080, yet the AppleTV menu says Default audio output is TV Speakers! There are no other options when I try to change it. Audio Format says Auto, Atmos available. I can get Atmos from Disney + but not Amazon Prime.
Ok first of all HDR is high dynamic range and technically does a not relate to colour gamut at all but as a description on a tv yes that’s the implication. But yes turn it on. Why? So you get the expanded dynamic range. Even if the tvs gamut isn’t great a lot of UHD content does not leave the REC709 colour space. If your atv says Dolby atmos it is seeing the processor. On prime and any other it will depend on the source material and many other factors as to whether you actually get atmos. It’s a contentious issue..
@@HomeTheatreEngineering thanks! Since the handshake is so slow I will keep the Match Content OFF and turn it ON when I get ready to watch HDR, as most content is non HDR.

What I’ve read the only work around for atmos on an arc is that device he mentioned in the video that converts the signal into atmos surround the “had fury device”. I found on google listed at $250 plus
Hey, I just want to say thank you for this, part 1 & 2. I’m not into my picture quality or audio to create that theatrical experience but I love to know what my tech can do and the limitations and this really helped me. The one that caught me out was the resetting of the device after a software update, didn’t realise it had done that so just refereed back to your video. Thank you again from the UK
You're very welcome!
Yes thank you very much for doing these and clearly explaining AND demonstrating everything. 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Thanks for clearing up the HDR issue. I was hesitant to use hdr since it does sharpen the colors but seems to also shed a grey tone to the picture. Now with the switch I get the best of both worlds. Thank you!
A follow-up/update on this would be great. There’s a new setting on appletv since this video to match original content so I’m wondering if it makes sense now to set the output setting to Dolby vision and then also match content?
We have the latest atv with os16.1 and we have just tested it and the settings are the same as the video with the same outcomes.. and in any case no if you want your sdr displayed properly on and hdr/dv capable display You still need the settings this way.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering Thanks for checking it out :)
Love the video man. But what if i got my apple tv wired straight to my receiver do i use the same settings like you showed
Yes absolutely
I came across your video. Thanks for this!!!! I have a question regard my setup. I have a Sony str dh590 receiver. Should I connect my Apple TV 4K by using the pass through or connect the Apple TV directly to my Sony 4K TV then use optical cable for sound from tv to receiver? I am also using a high speed hdmi cable from ATV to receiver to TV. I saw little difference with settings that you recommended. I just want to make sure I maximize the 4K Dolby vision
Thank you, so for my JVC RS49 that doesn’t have the HDR is it better switch off the match content option ?
Thanks for the help! Confusing how Apple keeps telling us to enable DV!
Question, since I am not going to use Dolby Vision setting on my Apple TV, should I use my iPhone to calibrate my display???? Am never going to get a professional calibration.
To be honest we have never used the iphone calibration. We should test that and compare to an actual calibration sometime. So I can't really answer that. I guess the best thing to do is try and look at the results...
Great video! What do you suggest for the TV input settings for the input you have apple tv on?
hi,can u do this for latest gen?
I have a question do you have to pay for all the movies or can you Subscribe to Apple TV and watch everything without paying?
Hey, thanks for the videos, they were really useful.
I wonder, does the HDMI cable really have an impact on the video quality?
Thats a really good question. This may sound simplistic but if it is working then NO. If you are having issues then yes. In terms of quality though many would disagree the answer is no. No need to spend stupid amounts on an HDMI cable AS LONG AS IT IS DELIVERING ALL OF THE NEEDED REQUIREMENTS. In otherwords as long as you are getting the resolution frame rate colour space bit depth and feature you want then all is well.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering Thank you! keep up the great workl!
Hi HTE,
That was very informative, thanks.
I have a q? that is driving me mad with my new Apple TV+.
When it's directly connected to my LG SN8YG soundbar (connected to TV via HDMI arc), I get Dolby Atmos. When playing non Atmos movies soundbar says PCM.
If I connect Apple TV+ direct to TV via HDMI (hd compable port), When playing non Atmos movies soundbar says Dolby Sound, and does sound better. Why?
My tv supports hdr, but the picture is dull with washed out colours whenever Itry to play hdr content. I don't have apple tv 4k. I want to know if my tv performance will improve with Apple tv 4k with "Format" set at akSDR and "Match Content" set to OFF. Thanks
Can u do this video for the newest Apple TV? The settings are different now. Thanks!
As soon as we can get our hands on one
This is a great video. I would advise caution on the frame rate option though. Some displays that are native 60hz (or 59.97) cannot display 24p content properly and end up doing some whacked out interpolation to make it fit. I'd advise turning frame match off to get a more proper frame rate/motion.
Most modern projectors don't tend to have this issue but I have seen some also have trouble with true 24p content.
That is how I configured the apple on my samsung au7000 earc tv. dynamic on and frame rate off. Samsung display shows playing at 60
Thank so much! Works great now!
Hey is this this sitting still the best in year 2022 ? I have at 65 inch Phillip 706 Oled 2021
Yep
Great tutorial guys! Quick question about HDR10 bit rate. I have apple tv connected to Onkyo receiver, which is contacted to Benq projector ht3550. When I force HDR 60hz on apple tv (match content/rate Off), and play HDR movie on disney+ for example, I see my onkyo statistics showing 4.2.0 30 bits 59hz. However, if I turn the match On in apple tv. The onkyo states showes 4.2.2 24 bits 23.9 hz. In both use cases my benq projector shows BT2020 color space. I am confused why I get 24 bits when I turn Match On and play HDR 10 content? Thank you
Just bought an Apple 4K box so this video helped me get the best settings. Cheers guys :)
My Apple TV 4K doesn't have that 'Enable Dolby Vision' setting under Video and Audio. Would it only show up if I have a Dolby Vision TV attached to it, which I don't, but plan to soon...or should it be there anyway?
I am using sony 4k projector with apple4k tv although i set it up to your setting an it looked great and after running my projector for a hr i got a flickering green screen no video. It happens multiple times but after using amazon firestick there was no problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. pple tv does appear to have better picture then the firestick
In General > Sleep After - Do you recommend setting a duration or select never sleep? Cheers!
Absolutely personal preference based on your usage..
Andrew, Sorry for asking this on this older vid. I am considering buying an Apple TV 4K box to upgrade from my Roku Ultra. I hope it will be an upgrade. I'm asking because my TV is an older Sharp Aquos 70" that is wonderful, but only 1080P. Do you think I will be happy with my purchase of the Apple TV box? And, any settings advice would appreciated greatly.
Thank you and all the very best, Kevin
Its hard to say but yes I think if you like the apple ecosystem it should be fine and for a 1080P tv the settings out of the box should be just fine until you switch to an HDR display.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering Andrew, thanks! Just dipping my toes in the Apple realm. It's likely a bad idea, but I hear it may be the best streamer at this time.
Thanks for detailed video, I’ll try these settings have been facing problem with Sony A8F, some dark scenes looks very ugly, I see patchy greens and image doesn’t look clear. Hopefully this will resolve the issue.
Hello, can you change the apple tv to a 2.4:1 aspect radio to delete the black bars from the sides?? or it is only 16:9????
The apple TV will output the signal aspect ratio It is sent it’s the display that you need to manage the aspect ratio with. Some people zoom the image of a Scope movie on their TVs some use lenses and or video processors with their projectors. The black bars never “go away” they need to be managed
Fantastic video, great advice thank you! Quick question: Should I set the SDR to 50hz or 60hz?
Have a quick scroll through comments have answered that several times :-)
Thank you so much for this! Just to check, you guys are using the arcana to set LLDV to HDR for the projector to play it right?
Hi thanks for commenting. Ok so no we are not using LLDV for several reasons. 1) We are using a MadVR for tone mapping. 2) despite popular consensus Dolby Vision is not as great as is thought. It’s perceptual quantiser is a bit of a mess and in some ways HDR10/HDR10+ can be better..that’s a much deeper topic. Hope this helps.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering Thank you! So if you use the LLDV -> HDR10 function from HDfury there is no tone mapping?
@@N3D376 yes it applies LLDV tone map.
Anything similar for audio?
Great picture but getting some audio delay from my Samsung sound bar ..just purchased Rambo last blood ..audio delay is bad ..any ideas ?
Great video can’t wait for audio walkthrough
Thanks - yes always use these settings. Just about to move house and have a new projector which is 4K and HDR. Interested to see how you got your projector to output Dolby Vision - I know projectors aren't bright enough to really do it. Also interested to know if it was an improvement on a projector over HDR.
Ah we were waiting for that question. Projectors don't do HDR (there are 1 or 2 but mostly no). So we achieved this with an HDFury DIVA that uses the Dolby Vision LLDV metadata and fools the source into thinking the Projector can do DV. It does take some setting up and we will definitely be doing a great video on this. The HDFury also allows us to display the metadata so we can absolutely prove what is happening. Finally projectors can produce amazing HDR but they need to be calibrated properly. Yes the light output is limited but there are EOTF or Gamma curves that work with the range of the projector and produce incredible results with decent projectors.
I have the HD Fury Vertex 2 and use the ll DV method described for Dolby Vision. The Apple TV is doing the tone mapping using Dolbys algorithms and send it out as scene adjusted HDR10. So done in the player rather than display. In my view Dolbys method gives much better results than what ever Apple was doing to convert DV to HDR10 and what my projector was then doing to tone map that it is capabilities. The HD fury allows you to enter in custom edid data to customize what it tells the DV decoder your display is capable of. Peak and avg luminance and the xy coordinate of the colour gamut if you know them from calibration. So it allows you to tweak brightness etc to your likings with its tone mapping. It made a massive difference for Apple TV DV content for me. DV often looked worse than SD. Dark and dull. The HD Fury is not cheap but was worth it for me. It has some other useful features like masking, custom triggering rs232 command to the projector to change picture settings based on input content etc. (Eg. If SD then change brightness from 0 to -2 etc).
Thank you. I had the apple 4k tv for about 6 months now and just assumed Dolby Vision was the one to use as that is suppose to be the best. But it did make the menu screen look very bright, which is unnecessary. I have OLED TV's and don't want to use the extra brightness. The Apple TV really seems like it wants you to use Dolby Vision all the time. I just changed it to 4k SDR and it is better and you still get Dolby Vision when the source is DV. Apple should know this and tell people how to set these up correctly like you guys have stated. I would bet that 95% of people have Dolby Vision set for everything like I did. I guess using DV all the time make SDR look like DV with upscaling and maxing out the contrast and brightness.
Thank you!!! I have been struggling with this for a awhile. Dolby Vision would not work on its setting with my Sony, Onkyo receiver. You cleared it all up. Onkyo, Sony and Apple had no clue! Thank you so much
Thanks for the video. Does it matter if it is on 50 or 60 hrz on the 4K SDR format.
Hi its not a massive deal. Its more related to the country you are in so USA would normally be 60Hz and UK Australia 50Hz. Bear in mind this is only relevant in SDR and not HDR anyway as the match range and rate then kick in.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering followed your advise yesterday and can see a big difference in my picture. Thanx again
Thanks a lot for the information. How will I see those details of the movie (HDR, DV etc ) on the screen?
HD Fury Diva in this case. The HD Fury Vertex 2 does the same. Main advantage is allowing lldv Dolby Vision on displays without DV. Including peojectors
Thanks for the video. Suggestion: mention the tvOS version that’s on the AppleTV that’s used for this video.
We thought about it but that has been relevant across ever tvOS so far on the appletv4k so mentioning any specific tvOS would make people think it’s not relevant to current, which were at the time future, releases .
Watched your last video on this and it was great.
Thank you agin for this update! 🍿🍿
👍
Does this adjust the TV as formats change?
It depends what you mean precisely but yes
Thanks so much. I have one question. When I go to the video settings of my AppleTV 4K I don’t see anything that says enable Dolby Vision. I only see the enable hdr which seems to work fine. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again.
It is difficult to say without knowing more but I would suspect that maybe your tv or projector doesn't support Dolby vision? You could also try resetting your appletvs resolution (check appletv instructions) or power cycle it but other than that more info would be needed.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering My TV does support Dolby Vision but my 2016 Onkyo receiver does not. So, I need to upgrade the receiver which I'm willing to do. Do you feel that Dolby Vision makes a difference? Just want your opinion. Thanks
@@PixelGuy22there may be a setting in your Receiver that you need to change. When I first connected my Apple TV 4K to my Receiver it gave me an error message that it could not do 4K HDR. Only 4K SDR. I had to go into it's Advanced Setup function to access this and switch between the 2 modes. Now my Sony TV get 4K HDR.
There is a REDDIT thread talking about something similar, and how to access the menu to change that. www.reddit.com/r/hometheater/comments/cspc53/psa_4k_60hz_hdr_onkyo_receiver_passthrough/
This info should be somewhere in the manual too. I found it in mine, but I didn't notice this obscure setting when I first set it up. Or try contacting the tech support to see if there is a way to change that to get Dolby Vision pass-thru your receiver to see on your TV.
@@_Volt_Ron_ Thanks. I contacted Onkyo and they verified no Dolby Vision on my model. Since moved on to a Yamaha receiver and all is well with Dolby Vision.
Help Help. I have an OLED lg CX. I am doing what you say to do however when on DOLBY VISION I am only getting 24 frames WHY. Thank You
Since the Apple TV 4K changed to 4K SDR 60.59.94 which is better that or 60.60Hz
Hi Im a bit confused with the numbers you have posted here. there is 60Hz or 59.94 Hz but it doesn’t really matter. In theory 59.94Hz is the “traditional” rate so select that. Either will normally work unless your display is not behaving well with 60Hz. but most of all ensure match range and rate are ON then you are fine.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering Those are the new numbers for 4K SDR which Hz should I use the 60(59.94 Hz or 60Hz
@@texranger1012 Hi please read my reply again I stated 59.94 but it honestly doesn’t matter
Should I do 24, 50, or 60hz? Which of these options is considered optimal with your suggested setup?
This has been answered quite a few times in these comments. But the answer is it doesn’t really matter that much. It was originally a regional thing 50hz for UK and Europe (PAL) and 60hz for USA (NTSC) but if you have selected match range and rate then it will select the correct frame rate anyway. So lacking any other information go 60hz in USA and 50hz in EU etc :-)
Thank you for clarifying the 4K SDR setting for me. My TV is a Samsung 8K (Q900R) and I have never been quite sure how to setup the video settings. I am so glad you clarified that the Apple TV auto switches back and forth and why the TV flashes for a few seconds (handshaking). When will you be doing the best settings for the Apple TV 2021?
Yes i would also love to see best settings for ATV 2021 if any changes make sense.
Thanks guys, those setting you showed fixed a cross talk issue I had. The disney plus app, Dolby Atmos had so much static, and my sound bar was going ape shit. I put the video setting like you displayed, no static issues. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for your videos! I’ve noticed that the sound is « sliding » from its calibration quite rapidly after setting the Apple TV 4K to play the sound on my amplifier Bluetooth connection. Any idea on how to solve that?
I’m sorry I don’t understand. What do you mean by “sliding” and what “calibration” are you referring to? This video covers the video settings and does not deal with the audio settings.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering I can sync the Bluetooth audio so that lips and sound are at the same speed but progressively, the sound and the image go out of synchronization and I have a sizable delay in the image versus the sound (or vice-versa it depends how we look at things).
@@yanna.9145 We never use Bluetooth for audio for a bunch of reasons. Issues like this being one. I doubt the problem is the appletv but can you not use a cabled connection?

Asked the Dolby Vision question in Part 1 Video and just answered here. So while watching your video I took my Apple TV off of the Dolby Vision 4K 60Hz and used your settings, Loaded Disney + and the first thing I noticed was how the menu colors just pop now. Just watched the Mandalorian last night and knew it was DV so watched part of it again today and actually noticed a better picture. I just bought the LG 75NANO99 and am impressed with upscaling to 8k. Thanks to your settings will enjoy my Apple TV more.
Hi yes sorry we try but difficult to get to every question. Glad you got a good outcome
So the Match Content settings work in non-native apps like Disney+ ?
I thought you said not to enable HDR in you previous video. I am confused.
Hi I think you may not have watched the video through. At the beginning we are testing the display but we clearly say that once the testing is done switch the settings to SDR and match range and rate.
i have flicker at randon part of screen issue with dolby vision content
please suggest
I have no information... I assume you mean a TV. If there is an issue go back to the supplier and ask them to address it
In the 2021 ATV 4K setting, it doesnt have the "Enable Dolby Vision" field. It just has the format and the rest of the stuff. Now when I set-up per above, and then when I select content on Netflix/Itunes for 4K Dolby Vision content, it is recognizing it likewise. My TV settings capture it as DV and has the color callibrations changed automatically.
Now looks like there is an issue with HDR content on Amazon Prime, on ATV4K. It doesn't stream in HDR but 4K SDR. I have raised it in Apple forum and there's no resolution in sight.
So what’s the point of even putting it in Dolby vision if it will do it either way?
Are you guys going to explain how to get Dobly Vision on projectors....Please make a video explaining this process.
We have. Check out "Dolby Vision on everything" video. This explains that we can use the HDFury Diva to access LLDV on any display. There is more to come on this..
@@HomeTheatreEngineering Okay thanks so much & I look forward to that future video.
Yes sir! Those settings definitely worked, thank you!
Really dont like switching between HDR/SDR, aspecially in Netflix App, TV blacking out, displaying messages about no signal etc… Whats wrong using default behaviour and force the HDR all the time? Are SDR movies displayed incorectly in HDR mode? As I understant it just look brighter because of HDR mode on TV is set to higher brightness/backlit. Or just in general HDR modes on TV are not good for SDR content?
First of all it’s your system you can do what you want.. Ok a few issues here. HDR and SDR are 2 entirely different things, different colour space different luminance etc. so if you want to see things as they were created then yes follow these instructions. Yes SDR movies are displayed incorrectly if HDR is forced. No it’s not just brighter because the backlight turns up!!!! The source material in HDR is mastered at an entirely different nit range.. hence.. high dynamic range and again entirely different colour space. If you are watching on a tv then the blank period should be momentary..at the end of the day it’s your call
@@HomeTheatreEngineering thank you for your answer, I am swtiching between these settings, figuring what will suits me most, right now am trying your (and not only your as I learned) recommended settings…
A bit late to the show but thanks for a great video. Very clear and understandable. I did have one issue after using your settings. After turning everything on as specified, I began getting some pretty serious lip sync issues between my 2017 Apple TV4K, my Denon S760H AVR (new Costco model) and my Sony A80J. It was happening on all sources….Amazon, Disney, Apple TV+ and Netflix. I have the Apple TV plugged into the Denon (with my other sources) and then run them all to the TV through HDMI 3 (eARC).
I tried the lip sync adjustments on the Denon. Nothing worked. After a few hours, I finally saw a suggestion to turn OFF frame rate matching in the ATV4K settings. Lo and behold, that cured all my lip sync issues on every service thru the ATV. So I will leave it off for now. But any ideas why the lip sync would be an issue with frame rate matching turned on? And by leaving it off, what am I losing, if anything? And would the 2021 model solve this issue?
Again thanks for a great video and site. I am a new subscriber.
Did Apple update their UI to take advantage of HDR yet?
Hello 👋🏻
I just got an Apple TV 4K and yes the video and audio is set on 4K SDR. let’s say I’m watching a HRD movie, do I have to manually change the setting on Apple tv to 4K HRD or does it switch automatically having installed the right HDMI cables and my tv support HDR.
I appreciate your reply and thanks a lot for your great video!!!
🤗
It was explained multiple times that it will adjust automatically if your Match Rate & Range are on.
This works perfectly to me overall, but no with Plex app running DV 4K content. It gets a purple and green tint. Someone knows how to correctly setup Plex app and Apple TV to run dolby vision videos?
sounds like a signal issue like your ATV is sending RGB and your TV is not working with that or some similar issue. There are a lot of settings going on here between plex and appletv and your display so its probably a bit outside of a quick youtube reply.
@@HomeTheatreEngineering thank u so much! Your videos helped me a lot!
Thank you! I had no idea how to set my Apple TV 4K properly. I thought you didn’t get the momentary black out screen when having your TV connected via eARC.
Very good video. There is somuch difference after i changed the settings of my apple tv 4k. But there are some issues. Everytime when i come back from the movie it takes couple of seconds to view the menu. There is black screen for few seconds. Also i have a atmos sound system and there is a glitch sound everytime we go back from the movie. So i need to switch back to default settings
Harish Snaps That “glitch” is actually meant to happen. It’s your system switching from sdr to HDR etc. that’s exactly what it should do
Home Theatre Engineering i understand but worried about my sound system. It might damage the speakers
Harish Snaps it shouldn’t be doing that?

You're so welcome!
I have a Samsung neo qled. [qn85d 85’’]. I find the picture quality best when I put it in 4K HDR10+ with match content and frame rate on. and chroma in 4:2:2. I find it the best on my tv cause Samsung doesn’t support Dolby vision yet, I have to put it in 4K HDR10+. I guess the settings differ from TV to TV. For ex:- UHD TVs are best when set to 4K SDR. All in all really pleased with my Apple TV 4K purchase. It’s a beast!!
By setting the system interface to 50Hz, the screensavers are not smooth. But if I put it on 60Hz, there are apps in Spain (including RUclips) that don't adapt the content and it looks laggy.
Hi guys which projector is used for this video?
Shan Raju from memory the BenQ X12000H
Will you guys be doing one on the Nvidia shield as well?
We would like to. The NVidia is not an area we have massive expertise in but we do want to get on top of that and when we really come to terms with it then yes we would love to do that. Thanks for asking
Hi my youtube on apple tv always skips tge sound can you tell tge reason why is that please?
I tried these settings and have the option to enable 4K, as mentioned to “leave it on SDR 4K” as the default. When I check the Sony TV HDMI input, HDR signal is off. When I set the Apple TV back to 4K HDR, the TV HDMI input signal shows “HDR” making me think my TV is not automatically getting an HDR signal for HDR content? I don’t have a 3rd party tool like you are using to verify if this is correct or not. Any thoughts if HDR signal is being sent correctly from the Apple box using the recommended settings in your video?
CJ Manley there are a few things possible here. Not all content or the menus are HDR so unless you are actually playing an HDR movie it won’t show as HDR that is the point of matching Range so check that out first
Extremely helpful!!! Thank you very much!!!
Absolutely helpful. Thank god!!!
And for TV ? Seeting good ? SDR
Hey guys great video! Is it ok to leave default at 4K SDR 60hz instead of 50hz if i live in AUstralia? The reason i want it at 60Hz is most apps run at 60Hz natively. What do you think?
P.S: I have Match frame rate and dynamic range on irrespective of 50Hz vs 60Hz
This solved issues I was getting with blank screens in RUclips each time it switched between ads and content when the appletv was set to DV. It would flash the DV label and then show said ad or content.
Great
My TV is a 2017 65” Samsung MU6290. Is it worth turning on HDR on this TV? I understand this particular tv does not have a wide gamut.
Also, my ATV 4K is connected to my Sony STR-DN1080, yet the AppleTV menu says Default audio output is TV Speakers! There are no other options when I try to change it. Audio Format says Auto, Atmos available. I can get Atmos from Disney + but not Amazon Prime.
Ok first of all HDR is high dynamic range and technically does a not relate to colour gamut at all but as a description on a tv yes that’s the implication. But yes turn it on. Why? So you get the expanded dynamic range. Even if the tvs gamut isn’t great a lot of UHD content does not leave the REC709 colour space. If your atv says Dolby atmos it is seeing the processor. On prime and any other it will depend on the source material and many other factors as to whether you actually get atmos. It’s a contentious issue..
@@HomeTheatreEngineering thanks! Since the handshake is so slow I will keep the Match Content OFF and turn it ON when I get ready to watch HDR, as most content is non HDR.
Are you going to go though atmos on the Apple TV?
We are planning to but to be honest.. we are still checking the facts on this.. once we have it sorted we certainly will :-)
