New Apple TV 4K - Who SHOULD Buy & Who SHOULDN'T

[@AllDayWong10]

My biggest question is... will Apply TV makes my TV and movies looks better then LG’s native apps on my LGCX? I’m on the fence...

[@jasonstewart1837]

I have 3 apple tv 4k from 2017 - the biggest challenge is my 50 inch in my living room. the other tvs don’t really need any color correction they look nice all the time. I guess I am asking will the new apple tv 2021 help improve picture quality? I really don’t know what kind of upgrade this is? meaning the specs bring.small improvements . I enjoy your channel and would love to know what you think

[@greekfreak384]

I have the c1 but i can’t understand the difference in an Apple TV 4K vs my built in apps. Like showtime I’m currently watching a boxing match but I’m not sure if the Apple TV box will show the same content better. I can’t make up my mind 🤣 even with Netflix will the ATV box display the same Dolby vision movie better than in app? This is a hard decision or me but i don’t think i need it because all the apps i watch my tv already has or i can airplay apps like hbo max in Dolby vision via my iPhone 12. I haven’t seen a video that’s convincing me enough to buy ATV

[@arsenalfan0417]

Same tv. The only problem is some apps such as ESPN or Paramount plus are horrible on the LG operating system. That’s the only reason I’m considering it. Disney plus and Netflix work great on the C1s OS.

[@monizfilms]

I have two Apple TV 4K and I have deleted and rearranged some of the App icons but after a day or two the deleted apps miraculously return. Is this an issue with the tvOS?

Does Apple TV 4k have ABC on it since its not supported on Generation 3 Apple TV. ? Am news buff here.

[@ANGERINSIDE]

I have 2 Apple Tv 4th gen that came out in 2015 one for the living room and one for my kids room. Still works fast and smooth, I love those boxes to watch tv. Definitely worth the price. But I have 2 4k tvs with HDR and eventhough my Apple Tvs works real good still I want the 4k experience since I’m nurfing my tvs with the 4th gen boxes so Im getting this new one

[@1BSDjunkie]

Hello Chris! When you purchased the new AppleTV 4K model, how much better is it when compared to the previous AppleTV HD model? I had the misfortune of purchasing ours right before Apple had come out with the 4K version, but only had an HD TV. Now we have moved and have the 77” C1 model you mention. Is it a recommended upgrade?

[@frankiepavinato]

Definetely, it's like night and day...

[@OspinaTech]

Chris I have a question. How much if the video is scripted and how much is free style?

[@kudzu01]

I wish I’d watched your video before ordering the new Apple TV. My old 4K box still works great. I might just cancel the order and get the new remote instead.

[@susanpratt3290]

That sounds like a good plan especially if they are selling the new remote as a stand alone accssory. Enjoy. I signed up with Apple One which includes Apple TV+, and my I-Pad Pro is due to arrive next Tuessday, can't wait to get my new I-Pad Pro, which is my first I-Pad. I am planning to get a Mac Book Pro, I-Mac or Mac Mini with the new M1X chipset.

[@BenjAmin-vx3jz]

Nice vid, but since you also use OLED TV, what is your take on the elevated black level issues the Apple TV has with Dolby vision content? Since Apple couldn’t fix it with software it seems as if it needs a hardware fix. I would expect the A12 Bionic to fix that.

[@BenjAmin-vx3jz]

FYI, I received the new ATV4K today and I can confirm that the elevated blacks on my LG CX have been fixed 🤩

[@darkpharaoh542]

Good video. I'm upgrading my TV and have been thinking about getting a dedicated streaming device. I'm leaning toward the CX, but if C1 price comes down, I may get that. Both are Dolby capable. Why did you choose to go with an Apple TV instead of streaming directly to the television?

[@271830066]

HELP... I have an Apple HD TV with the NEW 2021 Remote. I can not find a way to completely have the remote turn off my Samsung Series 7 TV. When I hit the power button it put the Apple TV box in sleep mode and then it acts like it is powering off the TV, but within 10 seconds the TV comes back on. Then I have to use the TV remote to turn it off. I am trying to just use the Apple Remote. Do you have any ideals.

[@HeyTechi]

Having Thread onboard is a game changer for Apple TV. Makes it an essential part of any future smart home in my view. Can’t wait for even more Thread supported devices!

Does the new Apple TV support statism audio for connecting headphones?

[@mlcerrone1]

Does the new remote work with HD generation Apple TV’s? I just upgraded my main tv to the new 4K but my other 2 are HD

[@Oceansknight]

Now that was a great review Chris! One extra advantage of having the Apple TV box, is you can stream your content from iTunes/TV app. You know the old DVD’s you have there!

[@brianfoster244]

I was thinking of buying an Apple TV now that I have been in the apple system for a couple years now. I have been an Nvidia Shield guy. So quick question; can I play my videos and view my photos directly from the photos app on the Apple TV? Also does Apple Music look and work the sam just as on my phone and iPad? Does all of your playlist show up the same.

[@Medz1100]

Fantastic advice Chris. Thanks for this. I have the 2017 ATV. Love the new remote and am trying to decide whether to get just the remote or future proof and get the new ATV? After all, I’ll be paying £55 (in the UK) for the remote so for another £114 I could get the whole package?

[@franticrage73]

I’m in the process of getting a bigger tv in 4K, so decided it’s time to upgrade the box while I’m at it. Is there a specific type of hdmi cable I should get?

[@franticrage73]

@Null Thanks!

[@Senuta76]

Does iTunes carry any movies at 60FPS? I watched Gemini Man which is filmed at 60 FPS HDR but it does not look as good as the clips of the same movie at 60 FPS show on KZbin.

[@devinwoodson1868]

Do you know if it will be possible to control the new Apple TV through the HomePod mini? For example if I say “hey Siri play Game of Thrones on HBO” will it play it on tv or will it just be good or fast forward and rewind.

[@carm1345]

[@Kentsf]

I would like to see your analysis of using an M1 Mac Mini in a home theater instead of an AppleTV 4K box. Will the M1 Mac Mini do everything in the video world that an AppleTV 4K supports? The M1 Mac Mini can use my newer Sony 950H 4K TV as a monitor. I am testing Audirvana software with Tidal MQA files on a MacBook Pro in a different location. This seems like a better audio solution than a Bluesound Node 2i for the home theater. I use an Oppo 205 for 2 channel audio with XLRs to a great amp and great speakers. I could also use the M1 Mac Mini for Lightroom slide shows rather than burning disks and playing them in the Oppo 205. Apparently, you can use an iPad as the keyboard for an M1 Mac Mini. I have the 4Th gen HD Apple TV but an AppleTV app on the TV seems to support 4K, Dolby Vision and even Atmos audio (but my audio is 2 channel). I also steam with Amazon HD but the refresh function on a 9.7” iPad Pro is extremely slow (like 30+ minutes). Any comments?

[@burimalimi6490]

Chris, how do we set up a new Apple TV if we are replacing an older unit? Is there a faster way or do we need to download all the apps again?

[@robertogomez8100]

Man , I have a very old system my 55" LCD Sony TV doesn't support 4k, the apple tv that I have is the first HD one but the very good thing is that it comes with an optical digital audio output that works great with my 7.1 channel Marantz amp that is really old too but still going strong. My set is really old but works fine the only thing that sometimes doesn't work well is the Apple TV, so the Japanese hardware that is much older than the Apple TV is flawless but the American (Chinese) Apple TV device is the one that's failing, too bad.

[@timnbv4540]

man there are so many reasons why this is not working straight. First it could be your HDMI Connectors or even your TV. But also it could be your Apple TV. Do you mean with Apple=Chinese that they produce in China? Sony does also manufacture in China like everyone else. But this has mostly to do with cheaper labor. Otherwise this tech stuff would much more expensive though Edit: I looked it up and funny thing foxconn (which is a big partner of Apple) is also manufacturing for Sony. (But Sony does not only manufacure in China they have all around the world production lines)

[@robertogomez8100]

@@timnbv4540 I looked it up and in my case the Sony TV was made in Mexico, the Marantz audio system and the Apple TV both were made in China. I moved my Apple TV to another TV and the same thing is happening, the 5g WI-Fi isn't working ok and I moved it really close to the router so it's not a reception issue. I hooked my Google Chrome to my Sony TV and it's working fine, so what I can assume is that my Apple TV isn't working properly. Thanks for your advice.

[@timnbv4540]

I'd never buy a roku streaming box, but I bought a tv with the roku ui built in and loved it. Its just so simple and easy to use I ended up buying a new tv for my aunt and mother, all the people in my life who aren't great with tech. I can't really get behind the Apple TV when every tv comes with a built in "smart os" of some kind. Also, how is the A12 a graphical upgrade when the A10X outperforms the A12 in terms of graphics? in fact the A10X outperforms the A12 in everything other than single core...

[@mancerrss]

Been an Apple TV 4K user for 2 years now and you're right, those two storage options are really just for Game apps. But the ecosystem of tvOS Games isn't even that big or high quality anyways to begin with. Apple should push for offline download supports for your Apple TV purchases library back to Apple TV 4K. And push other streaming services like Disney+, HBO Max and others to do support it also. All your TV Apps are mostly native on tvOS so until now, it boggles me how of all form factors and platforms, Smart TV platforms are the one that still doesn't have offline downloading support yet. It'll ease the strain on streaming internet on those services too.

[@joseabraham777]

I would never recommend the 64GB one because at least now in 2021 the apps auto release the storage space, if you download a full game inside the app, days later you see that the game ask you again to download the files again.

Upgrading from Apple TV HD to [*new*] Apple TV 4k: ethernet is upgraded from 100mbps to 1gbps, which is sourcing content from another part of the home (e.g. a Plex server), will fix a lot of audio/video sync issues. Noted that the "old" Apple TV 4K also had gigabit internet as well.

Not supporting QMS that is part of the HDMI 2.1 standard.. Why Apple?

This is a PREMIUM streamer. It appeals more to those who have moderate to higher end AV set ups. I have yet to see ONE reviewer take the time to go outside listing the generic spec sheet differences and a superficial unboxing. Anyone with a pair of eyes can see the difference in the Siri remote. What nobody is taking the time to do is is to connect the 2017 and the 2021 for an AV performance side by side subjective review. I win a more premium sound system and was curious enough to upgrade. There IS a difference in AV. Audio is noticeably better in some AB comparisons. I would invite a reviewer to do more than offer a rundown of the spec sheets

I can’t wait for the era of “everything needs to be touch operated” to be over. So many things work better with physical buttons, the brain connects with buttons in a much more intuitive way. That’s why we’re able to type on keyboards without looking. The more prominent issue is the influx of new cars that have fewer buttons that are being replaced with touch screens and touch pads. Touch pads use more brain energy, because the brain doesn’t have anything physical to relate to the input, not to mention how difficult they are to use accurately in a moving car. Increased distraction, increased focus on the distraction = more collisions. Please, for the love of god, stop doing this. It’s stupid. Buttons are good. Just make the buttons more sexy 👍🏻 TLDR; I like the new remote 😉
