Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen) Review - 6 Months Later

*Correction* I should have said HDR10+ when I said HDR10 in this video. HDR10 is already supported on older Apple TV4Ks, but HDR10+ is the new one supported on this version, which mainly will matter to you if you own a Samsung TV. - Josh Purchase Links & Video Links: 👉 8K HDMI 2.1 cable: amzn.to/3og48B4 👉 Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen): amzn.to/439udAE 👉 View all of our favorite products: www.amazon.com/shop/6monthslaterreviews 🔗 Video Links: 👉 HomePod Mini Review - 6 Months Later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5l7W1eVzbA&t=18s 👉 Buy Two HomePods for Dolby Atmos?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_Vhn95IW58&t=19s 👉 How Matter Changes the Smart Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95PAfV_SwXE&t=1s 👉 How to Start or Expand your Smart Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYjxzsgM0J4 👉 All of our Apple videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2XWjlJjGp3uMKOssWN3NiK… 💻 Signup for our Free Newsletter! • Get a recap of everything we publish each month • Plus exclusive hot takes, recommendations, and review follow-ups Sign up here: 6monthslater.substack.com/?showWelcome=true ❤ Follow Josh: 👉 Reddit: www.reddit.com/user/joshteder/ 👉 Instagram: www.instagram.com/joshteder/ 👉 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/joshteder/ 👉 post.news/: post.news/@joshteder 👉 Mastodon: tech.lgbt/@joshteder 👉 Twitter: twitter.com/JoshTeder

Really underplayed the lack of ads. Using any other system it’s shocking how many ads flood the Home Screen

It’s my first Apple TV and I’m loving it! The speed boost compared to my crappy smart TV OS is night and day while the ability to use my AirPods Max with spatial audio as well as to utilize my stereo paired HomePods as default speakers for my PS5/Xbox Series X and Switch through ARC is a gamechanger.

Awesome review. I replaced my Chromecast and other stock smart tv interfaces with 3 of these. Won’t be switching back. Just a great product.

Thanks for a great review! I have owned a 2nd generation & now 3rd generation for years. I can say that this device is so crisp, clear, and very handy for watching different movies & TV shows. It's a blast!

Nice upload😊 what ever hall to that a hdmi cable link in description though?

Can confirm about the HDMI cord thing - I upgraded from a 1080p plasma to a 4K LG C2 and the cord I was using to connect my PC to the TV basically didn't work; it was extremely frustrating until I figured out the problem and once I replaced the HDMI cord it all worked like a dream. I bought an Apple TV 4K recently and absolutely love it. The C2 has a mostly functional smart TV option and yes I can just run stuff from my PC but honestly using the Apple TV with the remote like a traditional TV with all of the apps that aren't included in LG's suite has been very nice.

The zeskit cinema plus cables work great for Dolby vision and Atmos. TechnoDad found these to do all the less lossy surround modes.

I bought Apple TV for spatial audio since I already have AirPod pro 2 anyway. Spatial audio is really impressive

Can the Apple TV be connected to a 5.1 sound system? BTW, love your work.

Another automation idea for homekit is: if a connected device to your tv turns on, turn on the TV and switch the input, this for me has been way better than CEC since most of the time, CEC just wont work for me, or just work but not completely. example: i turn on my game console, then the TV turns on, but it almost never switches to the input the game console is using, so i had to use the TV remote anyways.

Hi, I have the ATV 4 k 1st gen model, purchased in 2019. The remote has stopped working, should I just replace the remote or get a new ATV, I use ATV only for streaming NF, prime etc and use it for 3hr/ day max. Please suggest . Thanks

Hello thank you for your great reviews! ✨ I still have a question, I saw Final Fantasy 7 (OG) is available on iOS and iPadOS (not in Arcade but to purchase) is it possible to play the game on the TV? If not, is it possible to mirror my iPad on Apple TV or would it decrease the game’s quality and input lag 🤔 I’ll probably buy an Apple TV anyways in September (never know if there will be a new one 😅) and I’d wait to play FF7 until then if I can play it on the Apple TV Sorry for the specific question 😅

The Apple TV is my favorite streaming device ever and I have used other streaming devices like a Google Chromecast, Fire TV and the OS built in my tv, the picture quality of the Apple TV is way better, crisper and using my AirPods Max or AirPod Pros wirelessly is amazing, I’m using the first gen 4k but plan to upgrade to the newest 4k with the new remote if I get a good deal this holiday season.

For non Dolby Vision tv, you can literally hold your iPhone up to the tv and the software auto color corrects your display. Amazing product

It's really a brilliant streamer for picture but also for audio on Apple Music in Dolby Atmos. It's great 👍

I’m thinking of upgrading my Apple TV because Fubo TV looks bad on my Samsung QN85C. Would the newest Apple TV clean up low quality content better than native tv apps or the previous Apple TV?

Excellent presentation!

I just upgraded to the latest model the other day and am pretty happy with it (as I was with the previous gen model). Only thing I feel is lacking, so far, is there's no backlighting on the remote.

What apps can I use multiview on?
