So my previous Apple TV 4K 2021 and Now the 2022 model, both show the Gray text as blurry and smeared looking. The White text looks fine in the menus. But the gray text is blurry and smeared looking. Anybody see this before? Any idea how I can fix this? For example you can see "Entertainment Room" has this smeared line going through it. "AirPlay Display Underscan" has a smear through it.

What’s video settings are you using?
If you’re not already then try setting to 4KSDR.
 
It is set to Dolby Vision HDR. It's connected to my Denon receiver and TCL 65" TV. Video plays fine. I get full 4K and Dolby Vision. It's only in the Apple TV Menus where the gray text is blurry.

Set to 4KSDR then let Match Dynamic Range take care of when Dolby Vision is required, UI is SDR anyway so unless you’re sat there for hours on end watching the screensavers then you’re not really gaining anything by having the UI set to DV.

Thanks again. I set it to 4K HDR. And match dynamic range. That worked. Awesome.

Now I got a new problem. Hulu app for some reason is not working. Need to figure that out now.

Weird, so I resolved the Hulu issue. I just changed the DNS address to different one. I was then able to launch hulu and login. Before it was just stuck after the splash screen with a blank blue screen. But any way I then changed DNS back to what I had it before and it's still working. So odd. Must have been stale DNS? Or corrupted cache?
