Why can iPhones seamlessly switch between resolutions, framerates, and dynamic ranges, but not Apple TV? (alien.top)

The new Apple TV supports QMS VRR (Quick Media Switching, Variable Refresh Rate) so that when switching from one framerate to another (like 24 to 60Hz) there isn’t a screen blackout.

However, changing resolution or dynamic ranges, still result in blackouts. But why?

I’m thinking this is an HDMI limitation/issue, but why is this not a problem for iPhones or built in apps?

Because it’s limited by the capabilities of your bargain 199$ hisense garbage TV. iPhones are purpose built to do these things, bargain TVs (and TVs in general) are meant to just show a picture
