On Apple TV 4K it is possible to select "Match Range" and "Match Fram Rate" but I miss "Match Resolution". With „Match Resolution“ it is possible to play Films in there original resolution. So no upscaling is done by Apple TV.
For example, Disney or Amazon Prime broadcast films in different resolutions.
HDR in 4K and SDR in HD (1080p). In Apple TV, however, you have to select a fixed resolution. For example, 4K HDR (24 Hz). Films in 1080 (HD) are then always upscaled to 4K by Apple TV, i.e. not output in their original resolution.
It would probably be very easy for Apple to add this additional function. As is already the case for “Match Frame Rate” and “Match Range
No, only what the streaming service sends.
What are you missing? In human terms please i.e. viewing quality to the naked eye. It looks to me like you are chasing "much better" external spec boasts, not perceivably better quality. That said, use Feedback - Apple TV - Apple to send your requests to Apple. This forum is solely to address actual technical problems, not wishes. Good luck!
I do understand - you want someone else's upscale tech to Apple's upscale tech to make the original content look a little better. A little extra shine here and there all artificially injected hmm.
I just don't see the point. Both are boosting i.e. messing with original content with slightly different results which anyway nobody will notice.
Irrespective, what I think doesn't matter - send your wishes using the link in my previous post. Good luck!
Match Dynamic Range probably does that. It doesn’t make any difference because all content is anyway compressed for streaming. So I’m not sure what you’re really missing.

I had been looking for a suitable link but couldn't find one. So, thank you for the link. I have already sent my request to Apple. You are right that the forum is not really responsible for this, but at least I have found the right link now.
Sorry, I don‘t understand your answer.
Please read carefully my last answer and I Think you can understand what I mean.
Great!
First, you have to set the output format under "Settings" / "Video and Audio".
For example, 4K SDR 24 (24 Hz). If you now activate "Match Frame Rate" and "Match Dynamic Range" under "Match Content", depending on the film, the system switches between HDR and SDR, as well as between the different frame rates (23,976, 24, 50, etc.). However, the resolution always remains constant at 4K, so that films that are available in 1080p, for example, are always upscaled to 4K.
Apple TV already does upscaling quite well, but it can definitely be done better. People who have a high-quality home theater at home often have a projector with corresponding high-quality scaling, or dedicated video processors (MadVR Envy or Lumagen Radiance). These video processors can upscaling much better than Apple TV can. Therefore, it would be desirable to have an additional option to automatically set the native resolution. So you need another switch called "Match Resolution" in addition to the existing switches "Match Dynamic Range" and "Match Frame Rate". I hope that Apple will listen to my wishes and take this into account in a future update. I hope this helps
