AppleTV with Sony X900F Setup with Dolby Vision

I was struggling with my Sony TV dark picture with Dolby Vision enabled. After hours and hours of research and experimentation, I have found a combination of settings that produces an outstanding picture. I hope this works well for you and helps you avoid all the time I spent getting this dialed in. Enjoy!
