Another helpful tip: If you ask Siri "what did they say?" The Apple TV will rewind 10/15 seconds of the stream and trigger subtitles temporarily.

Thanks for some good tips. I’ve been a long term user of the Apple TV, back from the original black box with silver, two button remote and I’ve owned at least one of every release since then. I didn’t know about the match content function. Hopefully this will resolve an occasional issue where content displays with very low contrast. My tip is actually an app pick. I’ve found the Plex Media Server very powerful. I can stream copies of my own media from a always on media PC, wirelessly to every tv in the house. Highly recommended!

@benjamindepaz8429 Год назад

Another tip to go along with the voice control you talked about. You can also use the exact same commands hands-free, if you have another nearby Apple device like an iPad or HomePod or Apple Watch. I use this all the time when I want to get up to go to the other room and I just call out to Siri to pause the TV. The HomePod is perfect for this because it's equipped with long range beam-forming microphones; and it works from any HomePod in the house regardless of whether it's paired to the Apple TV for sound output or not. Some of the things you can say is: Hey Siri: Turn the Apple TV Off (Puts it to sleep) Pause the TV Resume playing on the TV Go back 45 seconds What did they say? Skip 5 Minutes All of that without ever having to touch the remote.

@SkepticCyclist Год назад

Apple updated the match dynamic range feature with their latest software update, tvOS 16.1. It now works when set in HDR mode too, meaning it will now switch to SDR for SDR programs even when set to HDR as default.

@JoelORamos-wz6oe Год назад

Excellent! So there is no need to switch it to 4K SDR? I can leave it at 4K Dolby Vision and when in RU-vid, it'll play the content in SDR?

@SkepticCyclist Год назад

@@JoelORamos-wz6oe Yes. The only downside is if RU-vid video is in 4K and the ads aren’t, you’ll get a pause and blank screen while it switches from 4K to SD, then the same thing again after the ad when it goes back to 4K.

@benjamindepaz8429 Год назад

Here's a tip to go along with what you were talking about with the Match Dynamic Range. So having it match the dynamic range and frame rate, as you showed are important. But you can add to it by going into the main TV resolution settings and changing the Apple TV to SDR. Even though you change it to SDR, because of the Match Dynamic Range setting, when playing something in HDR it will switch back. The benefit to this is to ensure that SDR is ALWAYS shown as SDR and that it never tries to tone-map the SDR to HDR. But even assuming the Match Dynamic Range setting truly does always keep the content in SDR when it's non-HDR, there's one place where it will NEVER change it: the Home Screen. The Home Screen will always try to show in HDR if HDR is selected. This has the result of making the Home Screen look a little washed out; not as bright or well defined. This may not be a big deal on TVs where the screen is extremely bright (like a QLED) - but it's really bad on a lower cost TV. Many TVs under $1,000 have panels that are not capable of truly reaching the minimum brightness needed for HDR (regardless of whether they show the HDR logo on the box and the input allows it). And so for TVs that can't go past 500 Nits of brightness, trying to browse through the Apple TV Home Screen in HDR mode can be very eye straining as it's so dim and washed out. But by changing the resolution setting to SDR, and then enabling Match Dynamic Range, the home screen will have full 4:4:4 color and look much brighter and easier to see.

@Mr--Pineapple Год назад

this is huge if it works as described. I have an OLED but with the ATV4K set to Dolby Vision output the main menu and buit-in apps (Apple Music) are always at 100% brightness. Not great for nighttime viewing. Thanks for the tip.

Many of us who can't or dont want to add soundbars to our TVs Systems can use the Apple TV to do something amazing with our Sonos speakers( that even the Sonos folks don"t seem to know!!). With your I pad or Iphone through the audio / video tab in the settings screen of your Apple TV play the TV through our sonos systems as each amplifire will appear as a wifi option. Additionally these options can be placed into the home app on your IOS device and the volumes etc for each amp/location can be controlled by your IOS device!!! Its an awesome benefit that not many seems to know about!!! Happy holidays!!!

Hi Caleb - thanks for another gear video. I standardized on using Apple TV as my streamer across all my TVs. But I always struggle with bypassing or turning off smart TV features. My goal is to only turn on (or automatically wake up) my TV and never see any smart TV or TV OS interface. I am interested in your recommendation what TVs have the cleanest way to bypass their TV OS interface and go straight to Apple TV or AVR content. I appreciate your opinion and recommendations - cheers!

@DJaquithFL Год назад

Extremely helpful information and thank you! Perhaps the most important (to me) is to match content and frame rate. The only thing that I wish is that the Apple 4K TV would have a good AI upscaler like my Nvidia Shield Pro. What would be really sweet is if Apple could fix the caching issue so icons will actually show up and content refreshed (hint ESPN+) instead displayed as X's and failing to mention some match or game is streaming live. 😡

@JohnOhkumaThiel Год назад

I recently bought Airpods 3rd Gen. I used to have a home theater system with multiple speakers, in terms of audio that was better than actually being in the best seat in a theater or at the Super Bowl for example. The newer Airpods are better than that particularly because each person has their own personal home theater system, with the exception that with a home theater system you can actually feel the difference, like it's live versus a recording. I'm currently sitting at home waiting for delivery of my 2022 Apple TV unit as a Christmas present, and educating myself so that when my wife gets home I'll have it all set up. But now watching this I'm thinking maybe it's better if I just connect it and let her set up her own thing because we have a unique situation. I'm American, native English speaker; my wife is Japanese, native Japanese speaker. Both of us use iPhone and iPad. Until now we've been using an old Playstation, though mostly her. If only one can log in with global settings where it's that one person's language and such, I rather it be her. But ideally I want all our stuff separated by login by language, country, content, and so forth.

I think one of my favorite things I’ve been doing for a while is using my phone as a remote. It’s usually nearby (I tend to lose the remote) and the integration with the keyboard is nice. Plus I have the older Apple TV remote which frankly isn’t great - so the phone remote tends to be just as good. I’ve always felt the Apple TV is one of apples under the radar products. For a reasonable price, it gives you an excellent smart tv interface that is better than any integrated smart tv os I’ve seen(although lgs webOS is pretty good too).

Hi, I think it would be a great idea if you can revisit TVs that have had notable bugs in their software every 6 months or so to let the viewers know whether the the latest firmware has resolved those issues. Given that many new TVs have software issues when they are initially released and when you review them, your viewers can often go into a TV purchase somewhat blind. I’m sure it would be very valuable for many of us and be a popular series for your channel.

You can also stream from a NAS. As a weird caveat, I’ve found you cannot stream Apple content downloaded and saved, it only seems to work with the universal formats like .mp4. To play Apple content, it must be streamed through a phone or laptop then airplayed back to the AppleTV. I’ve been led to understand this has to do with DRM (not claiming it’s true, just what I keep hearing). The online community has some “fixes” for this but I’ve found most of them problematic and/or unusable.

I then have to return to home screen and start another app and return to RU-vidTV to get it working again. If however if I return to home screen and power off everything is fine to return to RU-vidTV when I power on later. Is it Apple TV problem or app problem?

I tried to do the video calibration where you hold your phone up to the screen. It kept failing, stating that it wouldn’t work or there was a reflection or something like that, but my phone was right up against the screen. I tried it further away too. My video looks really good so I’m not terribly concerned but I am curious why it failed. Edit I have an iPhone 12 with the latest iOS version

Hi, I have an LG E7 tv that is having Dolby Vision and Atmos. When streaming Netflix, Disney and others from the tv, it gives me access to Dolby Atmos. When using the AppleTV 4K 3rd Gen, nothing can be streamed in Dolby Atmos, only 5.1, and I can see that it os activated in my AppleTV setup. Streaming something out of the AppleTV app like Ted Lasso, I do have access to Dolby Vision. Any clue of how to resolve this issue? Thks I’m advance and keep up the good work, I love your channel.

I would like to know if Apple TV supports Dolby Atmos. I have a speaker system with Dolby Atmos. I am wondering how I connect them. Should I connect apple tv to speaker then speaker to tv ?

@Mark-hu4xc 5 месяцев назад

Not sure if this is well known or not but as Caleb mentioned you can switch between apps by double pressing the TV button. But you can also close apps by swiping up on the click pad (if click and touch is on) or by quickly double pressing the top button (if Clickpad is set to click only). This can be helpful if you would like to restart an app (similar to closing out apps on an iPhone) or possibly to help with performance of the Apple TV (I’m guessing) if you have a lot of apps that were open but don’t need them all open anymore.

turn OFF match frame rate to see decent 24 fps on some TVs (still 3:2 pulldown) to avoid your tv’s motion interpolation

sorry this is off topic but where can i get the shelf units behind you, i have been looking but they all look like they should be in a garage or warehouse but the ones shown here look more domestic and easyer on the eye. thanks.

Can you help with volume? Can I set the system to be at a certain volume?

@conorfurlong 10 месяцев назад

You mention doing a longer form video on video settings. Can you post a link to that video as I can’t find it.

@mullen25 Год назад

you're the best tech reviewer, specifically anything television related. i learn a ton from your videos. you're excellent at explaining process and design/function details. i learned new things watching this to better use my apple tv. thank you for being awesome at what you do!

Do apple tv nake any difference in pictures quality mostly in frame rate??

@rgd765 Год назад

Great Video! I think Apple has hidden somehow whether this 3d gen supports 4k 120hz. I can't find anything pointing this out. Does anyone know if it does support 4k 120hz. TIA good people. 🖖🖖🖖

@alinnemann92 Год назад

4k 60hz is the max but is has 4k Dolby Vision, 4k HDR and 4k sdr all at 60hz and separate. I use the 4k Dolby Vision 60hz and it’s fantastic looking.

Great video. Informative, helpful, and useful. More like this!

@RomanMestas Год назад

I have been watching quite a few of your videos, and your videos are always high quality and informative. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

@jissanhuq3792 Год назад

One important note with matching content/ frame rate… it does slow down switching n creates a black frame in between even with the newest TVs… especially annoying with short form videos like RU-vid… so you get a blank screen n running audio over n over. Had to disable as my wife really did not like that n even myself felt it was too slow. Ill reserve it for more epic action if anything.

Thank RU-vid for it. They are the ones responsible for it. Or get RU-vid premium with no ads

@rohanjain6050 Год назад

How do I connect my apple TV to my TV and soundbar? How does the setup work as the TV has only 1 EARC port and so does the apply TV.

@TheCodeTinkerer Год назад

A thing to note is that people having the "stutter" issue need to check the option of "match frame rate". I is a common issue for 100/120hz tv's

@rizalahmad4207 Год назад

I was hoping to know how to restart my apple tv just using the remote button in the video. I’ve seen it done somewhere but couldn’t seem to find it now.

@8180Smitty 3 месяца назад

Will the "up next" feature work with other apps such as hulu or netflix or apple tv app only?

@AdsCoulter Год назад

What about using HomePods as speakers and the ability to treat your Apple TV as a receiver with Audio Return Channel eARC from your tv to your HomePods? 😜 not many people know about the extra bit.

@jwrcolombia Год назад

I have AppleTV already loaded on my Samsung...what is a good reason to use the physical unit over the app loaded on my TV?

@Givechance2run Год назад

So which HDMI can I plug this in? Should I plug this in HDMI 4 since its 4K!?

@thomasrodman7321 Год назад

I enjoy your RU-vids a lot even if it’s hard for me to keep up. I was wondering if you have ever done a RU-vid that is centered around Sonos. I have the original Sonos. I have the original sound bar, the Sonos base and two rear speakers. Is there anything I can do with my Sonos and my Apple TV 4K to maximize the quality of my sound?

@Theogwill Год назад

I'd be interested in seeing tv app performance to see which tv has the best in-tv app performance when streaming and best Ethernet performance.

@ozpain1 3 месяца назад

newbie question. Setup is as follows: Ive a Sony a80K with Apple TV connected to HDMI 2 and my soundbar connected the eARC port which is one of only two ports that support Dolby. HDMI 4 port can also be set to Dolby vision. However, my PS5 is connected to HDMI 4 because it is the only port that supports VRR. My question is, are there limitations to Dolby on the Apple TV setting if the HDMI can only be set to "enhanced" and not to Dolby? I hope that makes sense. Almost confused myself haha!

@carlosr7723 Год назад

very helpful video. I've had Apple TV for years and didnt know about some of these features.

Should I get this to replace Vizio smart cast? I have pretty much the whole apple ecosystem minus the apple tv

@bpsig6991 Год назад

Caleb, do you know if the Bluetooth audio settings you mention that are available with air pods or AirPods Max for Dolby Atmos simulation for example would be available in other headphone brands like the Sony WH1000MX4?

@digitaltrends Год назад

Hey Brendan, Caleb here. It may be possible, but I haven't tested it. You can get Spatial Audio from Apple Music on the XM4 using an iPhone by going to Settings>Music>Dolby Atmos>Always on. You can choose a similar setting in TVOS, but I haven't tested it with various apps to see if Spatial Audio works that way with a third-party headphones like the XM4 or XM5. I will test it and do what I can to come back to comment.
