As long as you have a compatible iPhone, you can use this feature to improve your viewing experience without messing with your TV\u2019s settings.<\/p>\n<p>Apple TV\u2019s color balance feature requires you to point your iPhone\u2019s front camera at the TV so it can identify ways to improve the set-top box\u2019s video output. Once the color calibration is complete, your Apple TV will also tell you what it changed and show you the difference between the original calibration and the balanced version.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that your Apple TV isn\u2019t changing any of your television\u2019s picture settings. Instead, your streaming box is changing the video it outputs to your TV to correct for any color issues your display might have. As such, these color corrections will not be present if you switch inputs or play video from a source other than the Apple TV.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Change the Display Resolution on Apple TV<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Apple_TV_Models_Support_Color_Balance\"><\/span>Which Apple TV Models Support Color Balance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although the Color Balance feature was introduced in the 2021 Apple TV 4K, it\u2019s also available on older Apple TV models.
