That's what John S was discussing in a recent episode of ATP. He will be glad to hear he will be able to use his new 2022 Apple TV on the next TV he buys in 10 years!
No its not. QMS (VRR) is a feature of HDMI 2.1a which is not implemented in any TV yet according to this article.
HDMI VRR is something completely different.
Clearly you've never had to deal with it.
Black screens, pauses, video modes change. Each one takes an obnoxiously long period of time. If you have multiple ads, you could end up with your TV "going out of sync" half a dozen times before the video you want to watch even plays. Picture cuts out, audio cuts out, etc. The only thing worse than an annoying ad is an annoying ad that appears to be broken.
It's jarring and distracting, and makes it seem like something is wrong with your TV. Simply disabling content matching makes the issue go away, so it's easy to tell what the problem is.
lol, agree. although, the blackout on a home theater projector can be worse than a TV. Sometimes I have to remember to hit pause at the start to let things sync up. Otherwise, I'll miss that fancy Marvel logo animation.
Wow, I had no idea that this was the source of the annoying blackouts when Youtube is switching between ads and the video. Ugh! So the fix will only be available on the latest gen Apple TV? Arrrgh... Might have to upgrade just for this.
It is annoying and gets in the way of enjoying the content you paid for all this hardware (and services) to watch. No reason an effort shouldn't be put into it.
No. HDMI 2.0 has been superseded by a standard now called 2.1, but the 'new' features are purely optional.
Turns out that “HDMI 2.1” ports don’t need to actually support HDMI 2.1 features
HDMI 2.1 is an upgrade to HDMI 2.0, except when it isn’t.

Shame that PAL was 50hz and therefore many of us are viewing content at 25hz.
Yeah if this doesn't come to the 2021 edition, it sure is. But I am holding out hope my 2021 gets it too.
Being a Panthers fan adds additional health risks. But there’s always Cleveland.
QMS is a subset of VRR (which is supported by many TVs).
I think it is TBD on if the QMS implementation on the ATV utilizes enough VRR functionality to reduce the blanked frames with switching frame rates. (is that enough acronyms??)

Hopefully TVs will get patched to support this (like my S95B).
Also if I got this and bitstreaming for lossless audio I would happily swap out my Shield for an Apple TV

It IS a problem when play short videos. It is not only black out, I believe it also wear out TV quicker when do this a hundred times a day.
At least it's only temp. The issue I'm having lately is a black screen in the middle of a movie, and I have to eventually hit back and resume. Been using the FireTV in place of ATV since, and it hasn't happened once.
And if everyone thought that way, we'd still be looking at shadow puppets on cave walls...
I have a Samsung S95BQMS needs VRR to work. But HDMI VRR support does NOT mean it will support QMS as well.List: 4K TVs and 8K TVs with HDMI 2.1
