So I don’t recognize this at all. I’m definitely sensitive to judder, and I know the indescribable frustration it brings.
I sometimes notice it with some YT videos but in such cases the comments are usually full of complaints about it.
I am almost certain that my Shield + Philips 43pus6503 together solve this well.
I think I do have an Ezcap262 in between for ambilight, which regularly disrupts the resolution handshake and then I don’t get higher than 4k30 or 1080p60. After a few reboots I can then select 4k60 and I have no problems.
Apart from that, I wouldn’t know why I would want Apple TV on my Shield, but that’s something else.
