After hours over days, contacting the tv manufacturer, Disney+, Peacock, HBOMax, and various online sites, I found a solution. An HDMI Splitter. The purpose of a splitter is for being able to view across multiple screens, however, for some reason it also makes everything work great between the tv and the Apple TV 4k. It just costs another high-speed HDMI cable and the HDMI Splitter which you can get cheap on Amazon. It's ridiculous but glad it finally works.

Thanks - I don't think that's the issue, because I can still see purchased content from Apple TV, but then get an HDCP error issue in Disneyplus, and all other apps video goes black, but still shows closed caption and I can still hear the audio. I also spent some time with Vizio support. I think the issue has to do with HDCP. I'm going to try Disneyplus support later on to see if they can help, but it's not the cable. The port may be a possibility, but I think it's likely something to do with HDCP. I'm going to have to research how to bypass later on if Disney can't help.
