I've tried several movies from itunes, both those marked with DV and HDR and none of them look good. I have the same problem with Netflix content, both from ATV and from the native Netflix TV-app. I see that you refer to manually changing the HDR output type on the ATV from DV to HDR10. I can't find seem to find this setting?
MortenTG, I think you only get the ability to change from HDR to DV if you have a TV that supports DV. If your TV doesn't support it you don't get the DV option at all. I know I don't see it on mine.
Netflix released an update to the ATV app last night, but it didn't change anything. It's really odd that all the HDR content in Netflix appears as DV on the ATV. On the WebOS app on my TV it shows as HDR since it knows my TV doesn't support DV. Things still look flat with the ATV app. They don't look amazing on my WebOS app, but they do look better.
I don't have the same issue with HDR content on iTunes. If it says HDR, it looks amazing. I watched War of the Planet of the Apes and it was really impressive looking. However, Goodfellas, which is shown as DV, doesn't look good at all. Looks better if I switch the ATV back to SDR.
In my case at least, it seems like a bug that makes anything listed as DV to not look good on my non-DV TV. Hopefully Apple will fix this in a future release. We are only on 11.0 of TVOS.
BTW, I recommend filling out this form here for feedback to Apple regarding the new ATV. I've put in a request to have the system only switch to HDR/DV mode when the content supports it:
