You can certainly add all your regular apps from Disney+ to YouTube TV, Hulu to Netflix and even Amazon Prime. The Roku interface also opens up more content. And when you switch back to the Apple TV you will vividly see the difference in picture quality.

Apple TV is an option on the Roku, but if you're a wired in, dedicated Apple household you're going to need to physically add the actual Apple TV to one of the four HDMI ports on the TV set.įitness+ for example did not come up through the Apple TV app, but is something I had to switch to the actual Apple TV to use. The set came with a small remote with fewer buttons than I would have liked. Still, if you're an Apple TV user there is going to be a learning curve.

Now, I knowing bought a Roku TV, so I walked into the interface shift fully informed. You can change picture size and mode, along with sound and brightness and more GearBrain Again, sometimes too much for me, but you can also play with options for the light in a room, tools to darken a screen and so forth. You're getting 1.07 billion colors here, and HDR10 plus Dolby Vision. Other than that, the picture certainly popped, details crisp and images beyond clear.

Select this, and toggle through for options including 'Movie,' 'Normal,' 'Sports,' and more.

From the menu on the left which will open, scroll down to 'Picture Mode'.

From the remote, with your connect playing, push the star button about one-third of the way down.

Also, every channel and show did not lend itself to bringing this change to my screen. And had to surf around online to find them. I was disappointed those details were not easy to find in an instruction manual with the set.

And it took a lot of experimenting to actually find how to reset the screen for movie settings. Most crucially for me, who is something of a film buff, I found the quality jarring actually. And immediately going to a QLED screen was a shock. Why do you buy a TV? For its picture quality.
