During dark scenes my Apple TV picture will fade/wash out to faded grey color and then back as the scene brightens. The apps on the TV (a 65”Samsung QN900a) play the same content fine as well as other streaming devices this seems to be limited to my AppleTV 4k.
Hello smitz123,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We'd like to help with the video quality issues you're experiencing on your Apple TV 4K.
You mentioned that playing the same content directly on the TV looks fine, which helps us isolate the issue further.
Does this issue happen in multiple apps? Or is it only occurring in a specific app?
Which version of tvOS is currently installed on your Apple TV 4K? Here's how to check: Update your Apple TV - Apple Support
We look forward to hearing back from you. Take care.
Hello, thanks for the questions. I’ve noticed it on the AppleTV app, HBOMax app, and Hulu app. I’ve never experienced it on YouTubeTV app which I use as much as these 3. The current tvOS is 16.2 (20k362)
Hello smitz123,
Have you had a chance to connect your Apple TV to a different TV to see if the issue continues there?
Have you also had a chance to test your HDMI cable and connect to all available HDMI ports on your TV to see you notice any difference?
Take care.
Hello,
The issue is limited to this TV. I can't seem to replicate the issue on other TVs I happen to have - so I'd say it is this an AppleTV and this TV issue. Additionally, I have plugged another AppleTV into this TV and it did have the same issue
I've tried the other HDMI ports and other HDMI cables - issue still exists
Thanks
