Match content - black flicker when switching normal?

Hello,

i got my Apple TV today and noticed something:
i set it to 4K SDR 60hz and match content is on ( both settings ). When I start watching a DV movie on Netflix, my TV ( Sony XH90 ) switches to DV. When I press the back menu and go back to the Netflix home screen, the TV screen goes black for like 2-3 seconds and then the picture comes back.
I guess this happens, because the TV switches from DV to sdr. So is this „normal“ or should I change or check something?

Because when I watch Netflix via the TV OS, it of course also switches from SDR to DV and back to sdr when I back to the menu. But here the screen won’t go black for 2-3 seconds

Thank you

This behavior ist just another side effect of the ATV 4K 2021 not using HDMI 2.1 properly at this time. I hope this is only temporary and can and more importantly will be amended by a tvOS update.
