Apple TV 4K Dolby Vision Logo

[Regents]

Hi,

Has anyone else noticed the disappearance of the Apple TV 4K Dolby Vision watermark / logo.

Previously, when Dolby Vision content was displayed the logo would briefly appear on screen.

I know that I am receiving DV through my TV settings.

Was just wondering if Apple had removed this feature or something has been changed in the settings.

I have Match Dynamic Range and Match Frame Rate turned on in the menu.

I still have it on my Vizio M558-G1.

Thanks for your reply

I’m in the U.K. I assume you’re in the US?
i wonder if it’s just the U.K. this affects?

That would be your TV displaying the Dolby Vision logo ... NOT the AppleTV.

Hi thanks for the reply

I think you’re right 👍.

I’m using a Sony AF9/A9F and think they could have removed it in the last Android Update from what I’m seeing online.

it's definitely your TV.

the only place the aTV shows it when playing, is when you pull down the description
or that annoying info window apple has decided to use, since they don't have the same pulldown that everyone else has, even though in their help files, it says to look in the pull down.

You might want to make sure something else in the TV didn't re-configure, like turning off deep color on that HDMI port
and you are still getting Dolby vision.

might want to try manually setting the video output, to make sure it's all still happening.

I wish Apple TV+ would display technical info on the same pop up that displays film/TV rating. Or add "Technical" on the chapters/subtitles/audio slider.

I realize most people don't care, but home theater enthusiasts would love it.

I was having this issue on my Vizio V655-H9. It has dolby vision built in so naturally I though it was a tv setting that I couldn’t find anywhere. Called Vizio support and they said that that was not a setting that could be turned on or off on the tv and to call apple. So I called apple and she said that she had no idea if it could even be turned off bc it’s the way the content is coded through the Apple TV 4K. So it is actually the ATV4K displaying dolby vision pop up on the screen. When I set up my new tv yesterday I went in the ATV settings and I had 4K Dolby vision as a format option that I didn’t have before with my older 4K HDR tv. So I was playing around with some settings and figured out that if you have the format set to 4K Dolby vision as the default video output, you can turn off match frame rate and dynamic range. Once you do that you will still be able to enjoy dolby vision content WITHOUT that annoying ass pop up. Hope this helps

that's incorrect,
100% confidence, no questions, without a doubt the TV is making the popup
The aTV is making a change in the signal that causes it, but the decision to display it and the actual image comes from the television.
I've also changed TVs and the logo looks different.
I've not seen a set that will allow you to turn it off.

if you have the format set to 4K Dolby vision as the default video output, you can turn off match frame rate and dynamic range. Once you do that you will still be able to enjoy dolby vision content WITHOUT that annoying ass pop up. Hope this helps

you don't want to set it up like that. content that was not created in dolby vision will be up-converted. It will cause your image to look bright and colorful, but it won't necessarily make it better.
For movies released in dolby vision, there are very talented people that are paid lots of money to make sure everything looks correct on a frame by frame basis. Those people also are starting with a very high quality image so they have lots of image information to work with.
the way you have it set up, any SDR image will be unconverted in the aTV to HDR. It starts out with a lower quality image and the software in the aTV has to make up information that doesn't exist, This is handled by an algorithm, meaning there's no art to what's happening, and in a lot of situations it can actually make the image worse.

You're saving yourself 3 seconds of a badge in the corner of your screen (and probably a short blackout on the TV), but sacrificing image quality on the entire duration of every non-HDR thing you watch.

I wish Apple TV+ would display technical info on the same pop up that displays film/TV rating. Or add "Technical" on the chapters/subtitles/audio slider.

You can enable the developer tools, and add a video playback overlay that has a lot of that info. The overlay enable/disable is about 3 layers deep in the main settings app, so it's not a quick change.
to do that you need a free apple developer account, and Xcode on a computer on your network. there are guides online if you search for "appleTV developer HUD" One note, Xcode is around 30GB to download and you need another 30-40GB free after you've downloaded to install it.
