Hi all,

I got a monitor for my home office, and I ended up having an Apple TV 4K. What's the best way to set these up? I have it working fine using 4K SDR 60Hz, looks good. When I change it to HDR, everything looks pale, washed out. I cannot fathom how to sort this. I thought it would all be straight forward, I've messed with settings on both, all sorts.

Anyone got any ideas as to what to do?
 
It's best to run the Apple TV at SDR. When playing HDR material, the material's metadata should trigger HDR mode. Running HDR mode all the time is too bright to me.

Have you tried playing with the RGB settings? Tried different HDMI cables?
