- Apple announced a new “Color Balance” feature for Apple TV in their Spring Loaded keynote. Does it work? How does it fair against professional calibration? What is color, anyways?

The new Apple TV 4K doesn’t just sport a new remote, it has a new Color Balance feature for color calibration. In a bit of a surprising move, Apple brought this feature to any Apple TV running iOS 14.5 or later. In essence, it uses the Face ID array on your iPhone to measure and analyze the color output of your TV against the baseline targets established by filmmakers and the industry: Rec.709 and Rec.2020 for HDR. The AppleTV will then modify its color output over HDMI to make your display more “color accurate.” The question is: does it really work? Is it better than just calibrating yourself? How does it compare to professional calibration? And is color really the biggest issue that your TV has? Find out this and more-as well as how color, luminance, and chromaticity/locus charts work-in this new Snazzy Labs video! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

I ain't even mad I just sat through a color theory class.
ok
fr tho
literally
Facts bro
I prefer to set colour based on what I like....Every eye is different. Colour accuracy is more for print professional's (etc) that need to output and accurate colour product.
Popped on TH-cam for a quick study break… ended up studying color theory…. I’m not even mad this was cool af
Haha thanks!!
I read, pooped on TH-cam,!
The quality of Snazzy Labs has gotten so good over these few months. Nice job Quinn!
Yes! And he is close to a million now aswell.
The video came out one minute before you posted this comment. How can you check the quality within one minute.

Marriage suits him
@@freund_hein i have been a long watcher of the channel, i wasn't just referring to this video.
Your attention to detail is insanely .. awesome 😜
Thanks!
Found the boneteacher as a top comment on a random tech video lol. You are amazing sir !
dude how the hell do you research, execute, script, and record all of this in just 2 weeks. This is crazy....
i heard a rumor that quinn has an army of gremlins locked in his basement working for free, slavery type of work, extra hours, no benefits, doing all the research for him. or was it goblins? something like that.
Not very hard when it's a full time job...
He probably knew 95% of this stuff before he even started to research ^^
Organization, planning and having a team doing things like editing (which is on of the most time-consuming and boring parts of any video).
Producing and presenting this content IS a skill, and Quinn (and his team) are great at it! And it takes a lot of work…
try making an in-depth video and you’ll quickly understand
If you use nighttime mode on your phone which makes your screen more yellow, you can really notice how our eyes adjust the white balance. Cause after a while you dont even notice that your screen is so much more yellow! Its crazy honestly!
Yeah, and when you switch it off, _aaa it's so blue and cold it's so weird-_
edit discord formatting isn't youtube formatting
Same goes for wearing tinted sunglasses. Take 'em off and suddenly everything seems "cool".
I just leave it on
Wtf everything is blue lmao
Forgot I was on youtube for a second,
this video was so good and actually interesting
Because TH-cam can’t have good and interesting videos? 😂
What kind of videos do you normally watch? Personally I only watch documentary/educational type videos on youtube.
So true. Been on a binge watching couple high end small TH-cam channels. So much better than the 90% garbage on here.
@@lachlana7738 I thought content like this video is normal on TH-cam because that's what I usually watch. Guess I was way wrong...
youtube has been full of good and actually interesting videos for years, what is your point
People: Use night shift or f.lux to get warmer colors.
Graphic designers: (Angry noises)
I once edited the perfect picture with flux on haha, now it's disabled for all graphic programs
When Dell and Microsoft add "adaptive contrast" so everything is off color for 2-3 seconds until it "adjusts" ☺️
Photographers, video editors, etc. would be angry as well!
And the new study showing f.lux doesn’t help
@@easyluckable of course it helps. the study entirely missed the point. flux is for reducing eye strain, not helping improve sleep. you shouldn't be on the computer that late in the first place if you want to sleep better.
Thanks Quinn - great coverage of a topic that mystifies many!
From the moment you ask "What is colour?" to precisely 4 minutes 33 seconds and 4 frames, I am going to use as an educational tool in my classroom. Honestly, sometimes I think TH-cam is a better teacher than I am because of excellent media content like this - thanks Quinn.
Im a UX designer and this video taught me a ton. Good stuff!
Videos like this are exactly why I am subscribed to Snazzy labs
As a photographer, I am calibrating my monitors with calorimeters for years. You do not need opensource for that. Entry level ones are very cheap nowadays. Last gen also has ambient light sensors in it and switches to different modes. Calibrating once is not enough. If the amount of environmental light changes(day/night or sunset etc), a new calibration is needed. (Unless you are working in a no-natural light source ( windowless) room) Ones with an external sensor built in tries to compensate that for a degree by switching modes due to the detected light. (Note: a calibrated display is less appealing to a home user. Home users often are after vibrant colors, higher contrast, higher brightness and exaggerated whites)
As a professional colorist I found this video very entertaining! Most people don’t understand color gamut and it is the biggest difference between nice and cheap televisions and monitors! Solid very informative video for people who know nothing about calibration and color space!
People watch movies for story, not for accurate representation of color. So all this info - nonsense for geeks :)
@@ThinkCMYK hmmmm bad take, the technological stuff for geeks is all apart of helping replicate the director and cinematographers vision. This “geek stuff” is used to elevate story amongst many other parts of production. 😂
I mean other than size what else could be different about them?
As someone who recently decided it would be 'fun' to learn a bit more about display calibration (still got A LOT to learn), I got to say you did an amazing job simplifying an incredibly complex topic and making it understandable. It definitely helped me make some connections regarding colour that I didn't make previously. Once again, excellent video!
I love that you do a deep dive into these things! Keep up the good work!
I really love and appreciate how detailed your videos are. Rarely do tech TH-camrs dive this deep. Thanks and keep up the hard work, Quinn!
This was such a technical and detailed video, that I had to literally pause and rewatch multiple times to understand. Can’t imagine the kind of research and effort that went into producing this. Superb work.
Thanks so much!!!
After so many years, you are still one of the top tech reviewers brining useful and detailed information and good opinion and analyses on TH-cam. Way to go!!!
I really like how you go in depth so I understand lots about colour
For the thumbnail work , i always went for a reversing effect when Text is in front of something in this case your arm, never thought about leaving the stroke only and keep the subject clean. Props to that you inspire me without even clicking on the video. :)
I love the detailed explanation about color spaces. Haven't been able to find a good, simple explanation like this before.
Thank you for making a very complex issue easy to understand and digest, great video.
I appreciate how he tried to explain the terms in the most simple way possible. Thumbs up for that effort.
The research you put into this… omg. Kudos.
I love the quality of your videos, amazing stuff man. The research in this video is beyond pro
Keep those vids coming, love the deep dive
What an amazing video. Thank you so much. I was always interested on how calibration works.
"Let's find out... But first, what is colour?"
*checks time stamp* oh dear
great video, specially the last few minutes!!
This is a fantsatic video Quinn, I am glad you gave us a colour 101 class
This is seriously a great video. Best i have seen on youtube so far. Great job.
Wow that was really good and thorough! Thanks for saving me so much time researching all of this.
Amazing Video! tons of knowledge gained, truly quality Snazzy Labs!
This raises the bar for tech TH-cam. Thank you! This was not only entertaining, but actually one of the best summaries of color profiles, color spaces and standards. Amazing!
Thank YOU!
The amount of work that went into this video is astonishing
Man.. I've been watching your channel for years now.. How do you do your research for the videos? Your knowledge in Computer science and technology is just Massive! You have a business degree!! How do you get time for all this? Loved this channel all these years 🙏
Thanks for this video man, I learned so much!
The moment I heard Apple announce this feature, I knew you'd be the one to make a video about it!
Enjoyed this video and learnt something new today! Thanks for sharing!
Great summary for a complex subject. And you made it interesting!
Thanks for a really good video, love your ability to make things easy to understand. Keep up the awesome work!
This was awesome. Thank you for educating me. 🙏
That was fantastic. Really informative and presented so well.
Great explanation. Suddenly remember the analog black-and-white TV that i had when i was 8 years old.
Most important was to direct the antenna in a certain direction. And wooow we had video transmitted through the air.
Super excited to watch this. I've been looking for a video like this for years, but no one has put out anything until now.
Your videos get better and better! And I’ve been subbed for like 10 years!
Thanks!!
this type of videos is why I subscribed :) Thanks !
Quinn, all of your videos are actually amazing.
You cover really unique topics that many others don't, with such a high level of information and amazing videography.
Not to mention, you're an audiophile and watch snob, both things I consider positive that I can relate to. Wish I had the money for it though :')
One thing I just noticed is you are the ONLY youtube I've watched so far where I can fully zoom in on my iphone xr, and still watch comfortably without being cut off from important info.
Super duper appreciated. Keep up the snazzy work.
NIce one, Snaz. Great explanation of color space.
Man the effort you put into your videos is so incredible. Thank you :)
What an interesting subject!! Thank you for the free class
Thank you for the lecture on color science!
Such a great video! Thank you!
Was waiting for this video!
I too was transported into the Snazzy Lab. Great video.
Checking the checker to fact check the checks! Being color blind (R&G) love these details.
Wonderful video, Quinn. Learned a lot.
Quinn, you always make excellent videos, man.
I didn’t use the filmmaker mode on my tv, but now I will.
Great video and explanation.
Thank you.
I just used the new Apple TV Color Balance feature, and when comparing the results, the beach sand had a slight pink tint in the original settings. I hope it's not just the placebo effect, but the image now looks better. Thanks, Snazzy!
Love the quality of your work! I don't own a single apple device and yet I still enjoy your videos.
One of the best videos I’ve seen about this
As a colour blind person I very rarely tell the difference between calibration settings. I just kind of want someone to tell me "its good, you're not missing out on anything" and trust them.
SAME
Likewise.
I just use the Xbox calibration tools, and while I doubt it’s perfect, it creates a consistent and pleasing experience across all of my screens 🤷♂️
I only tend to notice these things when it’s REALLY egregious, like being unable to see anything in the GoT season 8 episode. Apart from that, it all blends together.
That was very educational. Thanks.
Your videos are second to none. I actually learn something when watching your videos, which is appreciated lol. A lot of tech channels are just mindless product spec and feature rehashes, which are basically just advertisements, even if the "reviewer" isn't paid.
Yes!!! Snazzy is the TH-camr I desperately hoped would cover this feature
That beat at the end, really nice!
Thank you Quinn, I'll be receiving my LG C1 soon and this video has explained a lot. 🙂
Cheers!
Great timing Quinn.
Now I have to explain to my wife why we are pausing Shrek so I can watch a Snazzy Labs video.
Somebody once told me…
@@olexandr1997
the world is gonna roll me…
@@yuppymike I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed...
This was one of the coolest videos you’ve made yet! Very informational and super SUPER cool!
Thanks!!
Favorite TH-camr, hands down, the quality of your videos is just too much!
Crazy video well done to you!
He really makes things way too much easy to understand.
I really liked it 👍
this was so informative. cheers
Fantastic video. Literally just had a conversation about this type of stuff with a friend who really isn’t into this sort of thing but they were talking about getting a new TV. I tried explaining stuff to them but they were like “a TV is a TV.” I’m sending them this video for sure.
Friggin high quality video
love ur work Quinn great work
This was a great video, thanks
I knew you would make a video about this feature. What I didn’t know, nor suspected, was that you would make it so extra. Wonderful video, as always, cheers!
Great quality content as always!
Oh my gosh. It's been a while a didn't -attended- *watched* a such masterpiece TH-cam Video. Thanks for that quality content, I sub !
Love you Snazzy
I love how you don’t go over the things other you tubers already go over! It’s so nice to see some original content.
Great video, great work, thank you. 👌👌
Great videi, i‘m a THX certified video calibrator and was happy to see you educating people about the subject
Informative video. Well worth viewing.
Love u snazzy labs
GOD your videos are fantastic. You give us SO much more than the titles suggest - you’re the opposite of every other big TH-camr! Love every video, every time :)
This is soo important to display usage. I bought a cheap 144hz gaming monitor that had a washed out and terrible default setting. Some color expert posted his calibration settings online and I copied them including brightness, sharpness etc etc and now it looks almost as good as my IPS monitor.
This is an exceptionally good video. Bravo!
I always wondered what that color calibration graph showed, but never bothered to look it up. Thanks for finally educating me, haha.
And thanks for watching!!
Snazzy with the Snazzy content
Thanks for the Color class.
Wow, your videos are extremely knowledgeable well done
Great summary of Apple TV 👏👏
Wow! Great coverage on a topic I thought I understood a little until watching this video. BUT WHAT COUCH IS THAT?! IT LOOKS COMFY AS HECK!
that was soooo good video, even on a topic that I thought I had no interest in
Really cool Video. Thx
I feel like I just went to a college class. Great job Snazzy!!
