HDR issues (greyed out colors) with OLED
Hello Community,
I setup my current gen Apple TV 4K with my LG G3 (an OLED).
With HDR content I have issues with grey colors/a dim picture.
Dolby Vision and SDR work fine.
I first noticed this issue with a HDR movie played through Infuse and since then figured it affects all sorts of HDR content.
Generally I have set the Apple TV to Dolby Vision 60HZ as my TV supports DV. Additionally I activated content matching and frame rate matching. So when I play SDR content Apple TV switches the signal to SDR and my TV recognizes that.
Dolby Vision content -> stays at DV. TV uses Dolby Vision picture mode.
HDR content is causing some troubles. The TV does recognize HDR and changes the picture mode accordingly.
Unfortunately the HDR picture looks grey/dim.
To confirm this I set the Apple TV manually to HDR 60hz. The main menu becomes a lot dimmer and greyer than both SDR and Dolby Vision mode.
I’d like to point out that I have not deactivated content matching - so if the menu was not being rendered in HDR the Apple TV should switch to SDR/Dolby Vision.
And yes the same HDR files look correct when played directly on the TV. It appears to be an Apple TV issue or an issue of the two devices in combination.
I have exchanged the cable (both certified HDMI 2.1 cables). The issue persists. Also I do believe that if this was a cable problem Dolby Vision would have similar issues.
As of right now I have no clue how to fix this and I am very unhappy with the HDR mode of the Apple TV.
Both the TV and Apple TV are updated to the newest firmware.
I have not been able to find the exact same problem online. Generally people seem to suggest to change the standard mode to SDR and have content matching switch the HDR mode on for HDR content. This does NOT fix the issue for HDR content.
Id appreciate any help or suggestion!
