The automatic color calibration looks be really nice. Most TVs are not well calibrated by default. I wish it would let you export the results to change the settings for all connected devices, but that’s probably too TV specific.

People on AV forums seem to enjoy giving $400+ to ISF certified calibrators, so maybe this is a nice middle ground?

This is a great feature and kudos to Apple for bringing it to the previous generation of Apple TV. This feature will improve image quality without having to pay insane amounts for calibration.

Go to the press release above, scroll down until the end, and refer to footnote 2. It is about calibration - it requires an iPhone with FaceID, IOS/tvOS 14.5 and is available as well for the 1st generation Apple TV 4K.

      Thank you for pointing this out, I was totally unaware. This is a big win for current Apple TV 4K users.

Looking at the description on the website, it looks like this is going to be a non-starter for us projector users, sadly, as you have to point your camera at the screen within an inch or so from the surface. Hopefully there's some manual calibration option too.

Wonder why they don’t offer the calibration on macOS. Would love to calibrate my external monitor.

TV nowadays do a lot of "image enhancement" as they call it. Things like contrast and saturation boost to make TVs look "better" at the store. Calibrating a screen that dynamically messes with the colors seems impossible. Maybe Apple will ask the user to set the screen in a more passive mode to deal with that?
