There is a app called Developer Tools which can be installed directly from Android TV playstore.
The app has shortcut to open Developer options menu even when it is disabled.

*tested working on Shield TV

Most probably due to poor upscaling..
This is a known issue for Android TV coz it does not have proper upscaling capability..
When watching non-4k video, best to set display output to 1080p and let ur TV do the upscaling..

The previous set display output for the STB is 1080i 50kz. Having the same issue. Never knew the upscaling is that bad.

Correct but 4k TV upscaling is better than ATV OS native upscaling..

ATV OS on TV(ex; sony, sharp, etc) will use manufacturer's own upscaling meanwhile tv box(ex; unifi tv plus, mibox, shield 2015/2017) will only use ATV OS native upscaling which is poor..

Can you list all the HW/SW specs on the main post for reference and keep note any latest device's FW update, if possible.

Since I don't have the new Unifi ATV, can anyone try the Google Assistant feature? Can it detect the voice instructions directly from the device or the smartphone? Please try the Google Cast feature as well...

Can someone install this app to check for Google WideVine L1 DRM support to meet Netflix HD requirement? For 4K support, TM just needs to get Netflix 4K certification.

or

You can add this link to refer to the manufacturer in the main post, but it is just FYI since it doesn't list the box itself http://www.skyworth.com.my/. All its Android TV products are not Netflix 4K-certified.

Interesting find is in the link below as follows (but more related to Skyworth business in Africa):

QUOTE
I'm going out on a limb here and say this is not a Netflix certification issue, but instead Naspers (showmax) blocking Netflix. Looks like they commissioned the box.

https://www.enca.com/south-africa/full-inte...ers-boss-bekker

"At the heart of the dispute is the relationship that Namec, an industry body for small, medium and micro enterprises in the electronic manufacturing sector, has entered into with pay-TV operator MultiChoice and the Chinese manufacturer Skyworth Digital to supply a potential 15-million boxes over the next three years."
