I have a new Formuler Z12 ultra and have installed the SmartOne app. I think it gives a better picture than the built-in MOL3. If I start a movie, for example "The Strangers", I get a field above and below in gray. If I start the movie in MOL3 or in the SmartOne app directly on my TV, the 2 fields are black. I assume it is a setting in Formuler. Attached a picture as well.

Does it also happen with other movies or only with this specific?

Yes, all movies in wide, testing the same movie on MOL3 that I test in SmartOne on my Formuler Z12 ultra. But if I run SmartOne directly on my TV (without Formuler) it is the black edges that I want. Called a friend and he has the same on Formuler 11.
Please try changing the HDR output mode.
You can change it from home screen > settings > device preferences > display and sound > HDR output mode.
I also suggest you check if the app on the Formuler device is the same version as the app on the TV.
Let me know your results.
