Unfortunately, Google continues to NOT offer HDR capability with Youtube for ATV 4K. They have had since 2017 to make it available, but still refuse. We just got Youtube 4K capability from Google for many of the Apple devices within the last year or so. Google does offer Youtube HDR capability for Android TV and Fire TV. I'm not sure about Roku. The Fire TV Cube has lesser specs than the ATV 4K, so it shouldn't have anything to do with that. I'm pretty sure this is just Google thumbing its nose at Apple.
HDR makes a huge difference on the way a 4K HDR video plays on Youtube for 4K HDR capable TVs. On the ATV 4K they look terrible. On Fire TV and Android TV they look stunning.
Plus the Fire TV Cube already has up to 60fps streaming of 4K UHD, but the original ATV 4K only has 30fps. I don't notice any difference though, but I’m not a gamer. They both stream well. The new ATV 4K does offer a bump up to 4K UHD at 60fps. Not really worth buying for that unless someone is a gamer.
