I'm unwilling to operate Apple TV 4K without this free enhancement activated; setup takes mere 2 minutes, boosting my streaming device's appearance.
Crank up the picture perfection on your Apple TV 4K with this nifty trick! This badass streaming device already packs a punch with its sick 4K HDR image and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. But if you're hankering for a more vibrant, real-deal visual experience, grab your iPhone with Face ID and get ready to rock!
To unlockNext-Level Photo Magic, make sure your Apple TV 4K is on tvOS 14.5 or later, and your iPhone's iOS is at least 14.5. With your gadgets all synced, let's dive in!
Fire up the Settings app on your Apple TV. Spot Video and Audio? Great! Drill down to Calibration, and nestled there like a gem, you'll find Color Balance.
Now, prop up your iPhone near the TV screen. Your Apple TV 4K will guide you through the color-storm process. A glorious array of hues will flash before your eyes, and voila—it's a wrap!
Post-shake, lean back and appreciate those richer, truer-to-life colors that the Color Balance tweak unleashes. Apple even provides a snazzy side-by-side test for you to check out the difference.
Worth mentioning, this mode doesn't mess with your TV settings, so you can continue to tweak things to your heart's content according to your preferences.
Just a heads up, the setting won't apply when Dolby Vision content is rolling. The dynamic HDR format takes charge for the show's duration, so it's like a different universe.
I'm hooked on this feature, and I've spotted the difference on my usual lineup of TVs—a Samsung Mini LED model, Sony OLED, and Philips screens. Your experience may vary, but that quick two-minute setup could catapult your visuals to a whole new realm.
