I got AppleTV 4 and on a whitish background that ATV4 has I see faint vertical yellowish bands. I am afraid it's non uniformity of my TV but I thought I will ask. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Is ATV4 background color uniform?

I have a similar issue, I have yellowness and some other 'artifacts' 
Check out the post below. I have a plasma TV for what it's worth. I didn't start the thread below.

I have noticed on my plasma that it's not a perfectly uniform white - and I saw the above thread when it was posted - but I really think this is how the background is intended to look. My TV otherwise has no problem reproducing a uniform white picture.
Hmmm, not sure. It's good to know that you also see the same things, but it's hard for me to imagine that Apple wouldn't have a uniform color.
Thanks guys, I don't see any problems with my OLED tv otherwise, only awful look on ATV4 home screen. Hope Apple will give us a dark theme as an option.
One wonders why there are time sensitive screen savers but the entire interface theme doesn't also automatically have a "night mode".
I thought my TV was on the fritz when I noticed weird coloured patches on the screen. Then I realised that the ATV4 simply blurs the screen "underneath", or the movie cover image, by a lot.
Quoted for truth.
Before you toss your expensive TVs, it's just underneath picture thats blurred, I think it will be fixed later as it's either blurred too much and should be reduced, or give us a solid color.
That's the look Apple goes for these days though, iOS and OS X are littered with blurring effects, unless you turn them off of course.
I really like black solid background like ATV3 it is so much easy on your eyes. can be difflicult for some people who have glare blind. Which they add option to change background whitish-gray to black or whatever other user like.
I do experience these issues on oled. I came from plasma and oled is simply in the league of its own. That said, if you can wait couple more months till LG iron out small issues and bring prices down...
