A few questions:

1. I do not follow why DV above 30hz does not work with the E6. It must have something to do with the DV standard. A TV that specs to 120hz should then also state that for DV max refresh is 30hz.

2. Strangely my E6 does not work with HDR 60 hz either. Apple says it’s because I’m not using a ultra high speed hdmi cable. I have 2017 Amazon hdmi 25 ft cables behind the wall and they work fine with all other sources including 4K blue ray in hdr, DV and 3D that I understand uses high refresh rates.

3. For my usage which so far is exclusively movies, DV and HDR in 24 hz produce great pictures- however should I be manually switching between DV and HDR to get the best picture? So far I’m on DV only.

4. Once in a while I use the ESPN app to view sports - a high ghee refresh rate would be optimum there.

5. What is the advantage of viewing Netflix HDR and DV content through the Apple TV rather than through the TVs built in App. I have not done an A/B review but the Apple TV Netflix content performance is great. But then no complaints with the TVs direct feed either. For Netflix content.

6. I have 200 mb internet service but I may get 30-40 on the Apple TV in terms of Wi-Fi speed. An iPad next to the Apple TV gets much higher speed. Any fixes?

Thanks

I do not have an 2016 LG OLED TV but a 2016 SUHD LG LED TV 75UH8500. I am also getting 4K HDR at 60hz and 4K Dolby Vision only at 30hz or less. Is it confirmed that this is a hardware limitation on the TV side and we will just have to live with it?

Thank you again. I had my TV installed by an AV company during a home renovation and they had configured the TV for best picture. Unfortunately, I reset the settings in an effort to resolve my Apple TV issues. I believe there are calibration sites to help maximize the picture quality. Of note, when I select the Ultra HD option in advanced picture settings, the apple TV will not work, I have to turn this off to use the Apple TV. I am skeptical that the problem is in the HDMI cable, especially for an older model.

Thank you. So I turned it off on my TV last night and will now adjust the Apple TV picture settings to the 30Hz setting. Thanks again hopefully the static on the black areas of the screen will revert back to normal. Before I switched to the Apple TV, I was loving the picture.


Have you had any issues with watching sports? Football and baseball look good, basketball a little off. I tried to tweak the settings but still the same.

Sorry, Marantz receiver, SR6010. Receiver is capable of 4K. I have tried the 4K HDR at 30hz, 60Hz and the SDR. The only way I can get rid of the the static on my screen is if I stay with the 1080PHDR. The TV tells me HDR is on with the 1080P setting and with the 4kHDR 30Hz, but the static is there with all of the 4K settings on the Apple TV. And the Apple TV will not work with the Ultra HD turned on. Any thoughts?
