This is really bad advice. It should be set to HDR or Dolby Vision. The screensavers will only play in SDR otherwise and the HDR ones are SO much nicer. SDR content will switch either way match content turned on
on most TVs having HDR always on means having all the UI washed out
BL0812's post is actually right. Setting the TV to 4K SDR and matching frame rate and content will give you the best/most accurate picture quality across all sources. Since most sources aren't native 4K HDR or Dolby Vision, setting the tv to 4K HDR/DV will try to trick the tv into displaying the source in DV which will make the picture look very dark/dull and sometimes even washed out because the source can't display the image how ATV is telling it to.
Setting the tv to 4k SDR with matching frame rate and content will allow sources that DO support HDR or DV natively to display at the best quality possible, but won't force other content to display this way if its not supported by the source.
I know it sounds backwards, but give it a try and you will see a world of difference.
You realize you're going against the majority of the experts out there who test and review televisions full time? Ok 👏🏻 You may have a different preference, but the advice is not bad. Do you have sources for your non-bad advice? I'm willing to hear you out.
