In case it fails, you could be stuck with a less-than-ideal picture quality. Here\u2019s how you can quickly change your Apple TV\u2019s screen resolution.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you should do is check the optimum resolution for your display. This will usually be mentioned in the product listing on the display manufacturer\u2019s website. If it\u2019s not there, it will be mentioned on the box that the display shipped with. In some cases, after you connect it, the display will show a dialog box onscreen with the correct resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve determined the right display resolution, open the \u201cSettings\u201d app on your Apple TV.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721727\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apple-tv-settings.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Go to Apple TV Settings\" width=\"500\" height=\"231\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Next, select \u201cVideo and Audio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apple-tv-video-audio-settings.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select Video and Audio\" width=\"500\" height=\"231\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Navigate to the \u201cFormat\u201d option.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apple-tv-display-resolution.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select Format\" width=\"500\" height=\"231\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This page shows some standard display resolutions such as 4K HDR 50Hz, 1080p SDR 60Hz, etc. Here, you can select the resolution for your display.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721729\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apple-tv-standard-display-resolution.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select the correct resolution\" width=\"500\" height=\"231\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The only issue is that these are not exact values and may not match the recommended resolution for your display. To get that, scroll to the bottom and select \u201cOther Formats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apple-tv-additional-resolutions-selection-screen.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select Other Formats\" width=\"500\" height=\"231\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This is where you\u2019ll see exact display resolution values such as 2560\u00d71080 HDR 60Hz, along with other resolutions not mentioned on the previous screen.

In case the switch to a different resolution is unsuccessful, you might see a black screen for several seconds, and your display could even switch off on its own. Press the Menu button on your\u00a0Apple TV remote to return to the original resolution, and then you can try to change it to a compatible resolution again.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Want to play <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s on the Apple TV?
