    Apple TV App: Edit/Force syncing

    I just picked up an Apple TV 4k (32gb) and started signing into services I pay for. The feature that really sold me was the Apple TV app that brings all of your content together into one place.

    Playing with "Match Content" and "HDMI output"

    My 4K HDR Sony Bravia (and the very cheap HDMI cables from Amazon!) supports all possible output formats for SDR and HDR10 (no Dolby Vision on my TV, though). So I played a bit with the settings. I have tvOS 11.2.5 beta. These are the main scenarios: ATV4K on HDR 50/60Hz 4:2:2 - Match Content...

    Netflix (and HDR content in general) on Sony Bravia with ATV 4K

    With Netflix on Sony Bravia with LCD panels (no Oled) the HDR content is far too often miserable. There is a sort of "fog effect" on dark scenes, especially when a luminous source (like an oil lamp) is present in the screen. Have anyone with one LCD Bravia TV noticed any improvement watching...

    Streaming 4K Files to the Apple TV

    Hi All, Is it possible to play a 4K Movie file on the Apple TV? Can you do this by adding 4K mp4s to iTunes, and stream it the conventional way in full quality? If not, can you use some other service like PLEX? Thanks all, Chris
