  Ground breaking… Samsung has had this functionality for five years+. Think Different.

  Funny how you use the term ‘now’ for an article from Apr 2021.

    Yeah I only have an iPad and Apple TV, but I keep up with iOS update news so I heard about this a long time ago.
    Never really thought it would be that useful though. More of a quirk than a feature IMO since your brain kinda normalizes colours after awhile anyway.

    I have the "Night shift" feature on iPad which automatically turns the display "warm" at sunset and to "cool" on sunrise.
    Honestly in my experience I don't even notice it's there because my eye normalizes it. I can stare at the white area while it's on "warm" and it looks like pure white, all the other colours look natural and normal too. Same deal when it's set to "cool". The only way I can notice a difference is if I manually trigger it from "warm" to "cool", then I instantly notice the difference (due to the instant A/B comparison), but the one I manually change it to always look wrong (the one my eyes aren't normalized too). So I just leave it be on auto mode and I don't notice it, but I still get less blue light on the display in the evening.

    Just to explain how I apply above to TV's. You might think of watching Blade Runner 2049 so you switch your TV's display colour mode to "cold white" for that Sci-Fi effect, instead of "normal" mode. Yeah you might notice it in the first few minutes, but after awhile your brain just normalizes the colours so it's the same experience as if you left it on "normal mode".
    Same deal with the Apple TV colour temp feature, of course when you do it you will see the difference. You will think the colour's "pop" or whatever it does. But after awhile of watching the TV like that you will barely notice it.

    Now, that I found it, you can use it now. Savvy?

  Used the iphone calibration on my LG TV which was already fine-tuned and calibrated using recommended settings sourced online. The Apple TV calibration was impressive! It took all of 5 to 10 seconds for the process and the difference was night and day, the skin tones are perfect now! I just wish there was a way to extract the Apple setting changes so that I can apply them to all my console inputs!
