Apple TV 4K 32GB
4K HDR visual quality is about as good as it gets, and not surprisingly Apple TV 4K is being sold as a viewing experience like no other. Match it with a 4K TV and the results are mind-blowing.
Introducing 4K
For the first time, Apple TV is featuring 4K, making this a momentous leap ahead. 4K has four times the pixels of standard HD...in resolution terms this means 4K delivers 3,840 x 2,160, as opposed to 1920 x 1080 on standard HD.
Introducing HDR
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is another key feature of Apple TV 4K, and to many it is deemed even more important than 4K resolution! HDR delivers more realistic, brighter and a wider range of colours, as well as finer detail in those colours. The upshot of all this is an intensely lifelike viewing experience, a dazzling colour palette that makes a huge difference.
4K Friendly Material
Not much point in having 4K HDR TV if you don't have 4K HDR titles. Fortunately, Apple TV states they've worked with studios and content providers, such as Netflix and iTunes, to bring a large catalogue of 4K HDR titles, including blockbuster movies and TV shows, to the viewer.
Great For Gaming
The A10X Fusion chip promises gamers the opportunity to play, in Apple's words, "visually rich, interactive games". Good news in an era when gaming is one of the reasons more and more people are looking to upgrade to new-age TV technology.

Review: Apple TV 4K
Having kicked its heels for years, Apple believes 4K's time has finally come – and its latest streamer is fully equipped for this brave new world. It has iTunes and Netflix built in, while the Siri-controlled remote now searches across many services including all of the free-to-air channels, which...
Needs Dolby Atmos to be a 5* product.
I practically agree with all the What Hi-Fi review other than for me it remains a 4* product until Apple up their game and add bitstream / Dolby Atmos. I love it's quick, I love the 4k, I love what they've done with the HDR picture. I love the amount of 4k HDR movies BUT!
A little flaky from a content perspective, but Apple's 4K streamer is its most attractive TV box to date
gift
The unit itself is great, but the remote stopped charging like within a couple of months. So I sent an email to customer service to see if I could get a replacement remote and still didn't receive a new remote. Not happy!
Best picture streaming you can get
It may be a luxury but get it terrific picture even on apps like bbc. But make sure you buy belkin uhd cable with it for best performance. I'm well happy with it
