Notes & Compatibility
HDMI labeled 2.1 but hardware-limited to 18 Gbps TMDS (HDMI 2.0 equivalent), so a certified Premium High Speed HDMI cable is all it needs. Supports eARC and QMS (enabled in tvOS 16.4, March 2023); no 4K120, no VRR, no ALLM, no FRL 48 Gbps. Wi-Fi only: there is no Ethernet port and no USB port, so there is no wired adapter route either; wired networking and the Thread radio come only with the 128 GB Wi-Fi + Ethernet model (A2843). First Apple TV with HDR10+ support; also HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG. Dolby Atmos via MAT 2.0; no lossless TrueHD bitstreaming. Fanless design. 64 GB storage. Wi-Fi 6 (2×2 MIMO), Bluetooth 5.0. The built-in 100-240V supply takes a figure-8 (C7) cord, and the bundled Siri Remote charges over USB-C.
