White glow around UILabel and UIView when running on device

When running my application on my Apple TV a white glow is added to my UILabel and UIView. Running my application on the simulator produces the results I expect, no glow. I suspected it was the tint property adding this white glow, but setting the tint property to Clear Color has not resolved my issue.

Simulator (Expected results, no glow):

Solution

  • This could be your TV adding some contrast-enhancing or other sharpening effect. You should see if there's a way to disable that on your TV and that may make the effect go away.
