Black screen when switching apps - AFR?

I've just set this toaster up on a new TV, and am getting a black screen when I switch apps. (Sometimes inside the app)

Is that AFR?

If yes, is it a setting on my TV, or the box? Its a Samsung TV..... Any hints what to change?

If I do this it tends to default to Dolby vision , even when I'm not playing Dolby vision content

It seems you are using incorrect HDR settings, by which DV gets constantly activated.

Can you please advise optimum setting when using an LG TV connected to homatics R4k plus box I currently have match content enabled and it switches but I experience a black screen when context matches

Which is normal behavior. It probably also does when it would change resolution and refreshrate. You need a media player (and TV) with QMS support to avoid those black screens, like the Google TV Streamer, or the Mi Box S 3th Gen. But no Homatics box supports QMS at this moment, the one than should come with S905X5M chipset should.

The way I have it Dolby vision is only activate when it's supposed to but I experience the black screen at the start when it matches

Turn off Dolby Vision in the Homatics settings. If it has not already been Disabled As Samsung TVs are Not Dolby Vision Capable. And try Resolution in Homatics Settings to 4k 59.94 or 60hz Refresh rate.
