did you enable HDR support for the Firestick HDMI port?

default for external devices is 720p so ... see the link

Thanks! I'm assuming that's the 4:4:4 color option? I enabled but can't tell the difference. - jdaniel@jps.net 18:29:22 07/17/21 (3)
But seriously, I'm OK with 720p, (which I would have never believed would fill-out a 56" screen as well as it does), but I have this nagging feeling that I'm missing some simple setting adjustment.

  I'm not sure what my old Vizio labels the option
  
  Alexa wanted to connect to it when I plugged it in though
  
  kinda creepy when you think about it

    extreme quick movements, like the Tour de France cyclists flying by, is still a touch blurry. All else, like basketball and racing is vastly improved. Probably limitations of the network? I wonder at which rate they broadcast.
