This is a small one, but slightly annoying nonetheless. SSA/ASS subtitles are very often rendered with extra lines around the characters as shown in the 2nd screenshot.

This is not a TV picture correction issue, every setting is set to disabled.

That offset borders are the same in the home screen when the title is scrolling. ATV4k (2021).

I can also confirm this on the Apple TV 4K (2021).

I switched from the original 4K recently, and it only seems to affect the new one.

It seems to affect other iOS based devices. I see the same on my iPad Pro.

Also getting similar issues on my new ATV 4K too.

Let me know if anyone solved this or if we just have to wait for a fix
