MacBook Pro detected as "Apple TV" on Samsung TV

I have MacBook Pro with M3 Pro chip and I use it with 43" Samsung Frame TV (2022 model QE43LS03BAU), so the TV is my main screen.


Previously when I connect them with HDMI, Samsung Frame TV detects MacBook as "PC" and optimizes its configuration. Everything was looking great. MacBook had some earlier version of the macOS Sonoma.


Then I updated to macOS Sonoma 14.7.1 version and then Samsung Frame TV detects MacBook as "Apple TV". Now the TV is not doing PC optimizations which would greatly enhance the quality and experience when using as computer screen. Same happens with macOS Sequoia 15.1.

Connecting my MacBook with HDMI through USB-C adapter, so bypassing the MacBooks own HDMI port, works perfectly.
