Apple TV gets improved projector support in new tvOS update

Apple has released a new update for the Apple TV 4K and the Apple TV HD, tvOS 18.2. This follows the launch of tvOS 18 in November, a major update adding new InSights, smart subtitles and a redesigned Apple Fitness+.

The tvOS 18.2 release brings support for 21:9 and a range of other cinematic aspect ratios to the Apple TV. This provides users with an enhanced viewing experience on a compatible projector or display. Plus, you can now get an ultra-widescreen view on a FaceTime call. It is worth noting that these improvements only affect the Apple - TV 4K (3rd generation) (128GB version currently $142.49 at Best Buy).

For 2nd generation models onwards, the update also brings new Snoopy and Woodstock screensavers, dynamically adapting based on the weather, day or current holidays. On top of this, the Enhance Dialogue tool now works with a connected HomePod (2nd generation). The feature makes it easier to hear speech over other background sounds, thanks to audio processing in real-time combined with machine learning. If you do not have automatic updates set up, you can manually download the tvOS 18.2 update on your Apple TV by going to Settings > System > Software Updates.
