Apple TV+ Sets New Example For 4K HDR Streaming Quality
- Thread starter Detective Loki
- Start date
All four shows I watched looked better than other streaming services I've used(Morning Show, See, Dickinson, and For All Mankind). Although 4K shows like Altered Carbon look amazing on Netflix. The Apple launch is sparse because there's no back catalogue to fill in the gaps, but their original launch content has been really solid. Disney is going to crush this service in terms of numbers, but their original content at launch doesn't look remotely as interesting. And Apple appears to have a bunch of new shows coming out each month.
ah good, the quicker you get to your data cap the more money ISPs make...........all according to plan
Been hoping for folks to hit the data cap to become the norm so we can get rid of this data cap bullshit

I can confirm that Apple has raised the bar for Dolby Vision. Every live action show looks top tier on a Dolby Vision 4K set. A lot of Netflix shows don't look this good - Altered Carbon perhaps one of few exceptions.
Even Snoopy in Space is Dolby Vision for some reason, though it's really an SDR show in a Dolby Vision wrapper (except possibly the title cards.)

HBO is a goddamn joke in terms of streaming bitrate - doesn't matter if it's Now or Go. The Long Night was an abhorrent mess of dark pixelation.
It's a pretty great thing.
Now all they need is something good to show!
Ohoho... I'll see myself out.

If that. HBO stream quality is horrendous.
They really need to amp that shit up for HBO Max.
It's why I stopped subscribing to HBO Now to watch their movies. All the dark scenes were barely watchable due to all the pixellation. Really happy with Apple TV so far (mostly because it's free, but also because they're putting an emphasis on audio-video quality).

Plenty of people seem to love them based on RT Audience scores.
I'm glad I didn't listen to reviewers. The shows I've seen are really good. The Morning Show is my favorite so far. For All Mankind is also great. See is also fun, but not because it's good, but because it's really hammy and terrible in its own weird way.
If only there was anything on there that I'd want to upgrade my hardware for. Glad Apple is pushing the industry along and hope they do eventually land on that hit.
Or Nordic. HBO Nordic is by far the worst service we have had in regards to picture quality
There's actually a primer on 4K HDR on the main tab of the AppStore today, too:
Is it worth waiting? I'm not interested in their tv service, I just want a better home for prime and cravetv apps I use. The apps on my tv suck.
You can sub to HBO via Amazon Prime or Apple TV Channels; I tried it out last month, and "Succession" looked notably better on ATVC than it did through HBO NOW.
I don't got hbo now in Canada but I have read people saying they watch hbo content through Apple TV channels and the quality is better. No idea why that be the case.
did the writers for The Morning Show start writing for the App Store between seasons? lolThere's actually a primer on 4K HDR on the main tab of the AppStore today, too:
this is almost cursing on the App Store. so good.
There's been no word of this happening is there? I hope for PS4 app and Nvidia Shield as I only have one Apple TV in one room and would like to have an app for my shield.
Really, which one is your favorite? Are See or For All Manking any good?
Honestly, if HBO shows were sold on the iTunes Store as season passes as they release, I wouldn't bother and just buy them upfront.
just point your browser to tv.apple.com and you should be able to login and watch on edge.
No word yet. But you'd think with them supporting almost every other format and recently supporting XBOX/PS4 controllers on all of their devices, and mainly just wanting to get as many eyeballs as possible on their new streaming service, they would make it an option.
I mean, Disney isn't dumb enough to launch their new streaming platform without it being available on every platform.
For all mankind is my favourite and I cannot wait for next episode on Friday.
See I enjoy it. The sound and visuals are amazing. Interesting world. You can poke holes with some of the stuff going on. Pretty violent. I'm going to watch episode 3 today.
Dickinson is good I'm on episode 3. And the morning show I haven't watched yet but my mom did and loved it.
It definitely says 4K and HDR here (11 Pro Max, and iPad Pro 11) in the TV app. I'm still unclear whether this means these contents really stream at a 4K resolution that's downscaled to the display's resolution afterward, or if these mentions are just there for show.
See is awful in a great way. Dickinson is good, For All Mankind is really good and so is The Morning Show.
