What has been your experience with this?
I was at a clients today with an existing system. New SR7012 Marantz, JVC 790 and Apple TV 4K.
When you switch the Apple TV to 4K HDR the picture dims a lot. I've messed with the projector settings and read a few forums.
Seems to be an issue with 4K Apple TV.
Marantz is set to pass through video.
I set the Marantz to enahanced video mode.
The Apple TV video passes 4k HDR 4:2:2

4:2:2 is a color extrapolation format at this point (content is 4:2:0).
See if you can force to 4:2:0 for native.

Hmm, any HDR I have ever seen or played with has not been usable as it dims so dark. Guess I need to look at figuring out how to force things to 4:2:0? Even my home system Epson 10500, Sony 1000 and integra preamp does this. Obviously i need to learn how to use this. :)

I had the same problem with the ATV 4k. Set it to do 4:2:0. The AppleTV 4k has been a thorn in my side since it came out.

HDR streaming onto a projector is largely terrible, HDR Blu-ray onto a projector requires a very dark room, a very bright projector and a great screen... being watched by a person who appreciates 'accuracy over pictures that pop'.
Now HDR on a TV is a different matter.
TV's can go eye-searingly bright, while projectors simply can't achieve what many people want at this point.
Add an Apple TV into the mix and you have a recipe for a sub-standard result.

This industry is not getting cheaper and cheaper, we're simply convincing ourselves that we have to push the cheapest option to customers.

Haven’t experienced “dimming”, but did an inexpensive Samsung LED (6000 series or less) that had a noteable loss of red.
