Apple TV does not support 4K or HDR according to the most recent articles I read (June 2017). There are rumors that they will in the future though and it's possible it may already have an update. The Amazon Fire stick does support 4k and HDR (assuming it's the newest version), but there's honestly not a ton of content that supports either right now. This is still considered the early adoption phase for these technologies, so expect more and more content to release but it may not be as quickly as you would hope. The sound isn't very good on any TV and this TV is no exception. If you don't have at least a soundbar, "sound quality goodness" from this TV isn't going to happen. However, it does let you output Dolby Digital to your preferred audio receiver using a digital optical cable. I currently have my stuff set up this way and I'm very happy with it. I'm also running 7.1 surround sound with a Denon receiver and mostly use my gaming consoles for content streaming though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as the device is connected to HDMI 1 and the app/subscription package supports HDR content you can turn on Color Subsampling to watch HDR content.
