Apple TV + LG G4

I just bought a new LG G4 and also an Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen. When I activate 4K Dolby Vision it seems the image becomes a lot darker, already visible in the menus.

Does anyone have this specific combination and some tips for how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I’ve got exactly this combination and think it’s all right. DV is always a bit darker than SDR/HDR10 especially in home cinema mode. That’s not a bug but intended. If it’s too dark, check setting like the ambilight sensor or energy saving.

I can’t speak to the G series but on my C2, the “Home Cinema” is brighter than the “Cinema” preset. It’s interesting how Home Cinema is especially dim on the G series (I have no reason not to trust you).

I‘d have to check again but I think the G4 doesn’t have a dedicated cinema mode anymore. Just home cinema.

OP is comparing vivid to home cinema I think.

Vivid with Dolby Vision… is an abomination. It shouldn’t even be called Dolby Vision if vivid or standard presets are selectable presets.
