Turning 4K/HDR/60hz on makes screen dim

[DNichter]

Agree. I don't use the HDR option (even on HDR content). It just looks way too dark.

Just got the 4K Apple TV and I had the same issue. The entire screen goes dim. I'm using a receiver and projector system that display 4K HDR through the Xbox One with no problems. I switched back to SDR for the time being, it's unusable with that dimness.

Make sure to update your software. Mine was quite dim until the last update came around a month ago.

The recent Beta software allows the Apple TB to “match” content and frame rate so you can leave it in 4K, SDR mode and it will automatically switch to HDR content when present.

No more dark pictures, it works really well.
