So the new Apple TV 4K and updated YouTube app doesn’t support hdr? Leaving the Apple TV in hdr/dolby vision all the time can cause burn in on oled. It happened to me but LG did a 1 time replacement. I’d rather it be auto like the rest of the apps.
Got a tip for us?

That’s what I’m reading here, that it doesn’t support the match dynamic range. I would never use HDR/DV full time, it would ruin this tv. I tend to use the tv apps more anyway. I just wish YouTube would get on board
Jumping in to add a bit to the convo. I have mine currently set to HDR 60hz since I'm using a LG CX. Some apps such as netflix and funimation change to SDR depending on the content, while apps like youtube and crunchyroll stay at whatever you have it set on.
Yup I agree. The 4K 60 works at least but the headlines say 4K 60 hdr which is not the case. Setting the Apple TV to full time hdr doesn’t count.
Yeah this is a bummer as I hoped this atv will make everything super convenient on my oled. Sucks not being able to set the menu to HDR and utilize its features the way that it makes it sound it would. Oh well, having it set to 4k SDR isn't bad, just not the ideal way to use youtube for certain content.
I just put my ATV in HDR mode and when I play Costa Rica or HDR jazz and look at the quality it does not say HDR. Im starting to wonder if YouTube for the new 4k ATV even supports HDR at all?
I just double tap the edges to left and right and noticed that youtube skips the normal 10 seconds at a time. No problems here
Soooo the vibe I’m getting is, if I have an LG CX oled, YouTube experience will be WORSE with new ATV vs my built in YouTube app? All this hassle with 4k HDR on YouTube. What about everything else on new ATV? Other apps will support dynamic range automatic switching? Like Netflix. Is it only an issue with YouTube app on ATV?
Disney, Prime, Netflix all automatically switch with content and frame match.
just the YouTube app has the issue. But realistically how often do you watch YouTube with HDR content.. even the top YouTube channel don’t upload in HDR.. and half channel still use 24fps !.. would think more channel with upload in 4K 60fps these days..
40d, channel 5, ITV only stream in 1080p and don’t switch when playing but look same as LG apps as them services only stream in 1080p anyway and don’t support HDR on there services. Don’t know about BBC as won’t watch that.
personally after using my LG TV webos for 4 years.. the new Apple TV give everything the same apart from YouTube HDR.
but the speed and ease of use with new Apple TV is amazing ! So for me finally the Apple TV is a worthy upgrade over the LG Webos. Only reason previously I never had Apple TV is 80% content i watch is on YouTube and needed the 4K 60fps support which it now finally has..
lets just hope google at some point upgrades the YouTube app to support content switching !

My eyeballs tell me to leave it in DV or HDR as opposed to SDR. Matching is on. The content on Netflix, HBO, YouTube, and the rest seems the same. Where I see an incredible difference is Apple’s own aerial screensavers. If you leave it in SDR, it’s like you’re viewing the screensaver through cheap sunglasses. DV or HDR makes the colors pop in a delightful way.
This runs counter to every article from experts I’ve read but we have the screensavers on a lot with music and I’d just prefer to enjoy what the TV can do.
Ohhhh. That’s better then. for some reason I was under the impression that 4K60fps was an issue as well (I watch a lot of 4K60 channels but couldn’t on previous Apple TV because it didn’t support 4K 60 fps YouTube so I went back to LG webos). So ur saying the only issue is YouTube HDR? Youtube 4K 60 FPS (not HDR) actually works fine on new Apple TV? No weird settings I have to switch in my LG?
Yes but some people say you manually have to switch your TV mode just to watch YouTube 4k60 hdr. It doesn’t work automatically. sounds like a pain. But then again i dont really watch YouTube HDR often at all, just once in a blue moon when i have friends over and want to show off my LG CX for 5 minutes then its back to other content lmao
What you mean, so many people in this thread are saying it worked on their new 2021 ATV for YouTube
Oh idc about HDR just wanted 4k 60fps regular which the old ATV didn’t do on YouTube
Did anyone else notice subtle YouTube lags for non-4K-60FPS videos (on new 2021 Apple TV 4K)? 4k/60FPS is amazing, no lags whatsoever. However when I watch 1080 (and presumably not 60FPS) there are very subtle, fraction-of-a-second lags. My TV is LG 49SM86 and its webOS YouTube app does not have such issue.
I've enabled Match Dynamic Range and Match Frame Rate, maybe it helped a little bit but the lags are still noticable.
