LG Firmware update: Flickering Issue
With the recently released LG TV 5.10.04 firmware update, users watching Dolby Vision-supported content on their Apple TVs are facing problems as their screen becomes black or flickers constantly. Reports have been made that after the 5.10.04 firmware update, Dolby Vision content from Apple TV 4K via Denon or Onkyo or Marantz or Sony STR receivers no longer work.

Prior to the update, everything was running smoothly without any issue but as the update went live, things went haywire pretty quickly.
Well, if you are facing the same issue then unfortunately all you can do is wait and let LG come up with a fix.

Since many users are facing the flickering issue while using their Apple TV on Dolby Vision, there is a temporary fix we managed to find out. A user on the official forum suggested that the temporary solution is to go into the Apple TV and downgrade the resolution from Dolby Vision to regular HDR. However, LG needs to fix this ASAP.
