So I have a couple of HEVC/4K movies in my plex library, when I play any of the movies on my iMac via PMP the colors look normal as it should, vibrant colors, but when I play it on my appletv PMP colors are washed out, I tried it on a roku, PS4 and iPad Pro PMP and they all washed out.

Thanks for the link, my vote is done.

Got a LG TV with 4K, upon playing HEVC stuff I get the “HDR” showing up in the right hand corner. Colors seems good to me, but subtitle that is set to yellow is very washed out compared to how it looks on regular 1080P. Anybody seeing this too?

I am not 100% sure it’s related but if I transcode 4k with software decoder it seems to look ok. As soon as I turn on hardware decoding it looks washed out and awful. Edited: It seems like I was mistaken. Washed out no matter hardware/software decoder.

I had the same problem for months. Short story: I’ve downloaded infuse and 0 problems. I hope sometime Plex will fix this, because it’s been a long time since this happened and I barely use it now since I’ve bought a 4K tv and last gen Apple TV.

Did you consider that some people have expensive projectors 1080p and not willing to throw them away

Never said to throw away your devices by any means lol just that Plex doesn’t play friendly with certain tech

I have an ATV4, and started putting some 4K HEVC movies into PMS running on a Diskstation 918+. I was unable to play these files transcoded without colors looking washed out. I also got Infuse 5, and it works perfectly.
