As we\u2019ve seen more TVs and even monitors adding support, as well as smartphones and tablets. But what exactly is Dolby Vision? And is it something you have to have on your next major purchase (that has a display).<br \/>\nHere, we\u2019re going to tell you everything you need to know about Dolby Vision HDR.<\/p>\n<p>What is Dolby Vision?<br \/>\nTo keep things simple, there\u2019s really only one advantage that Dolby Vision has over HDR10, and that is the dynamic metadata to the core HDR image data. This metadata carries scene-by-scene instructions that a Dolby Vision-capable display can use to make sure it portrays the content as accurately as possible.<br \/>\nTVs that are capable of Dolby Vision combine the scene-by-scene information received from the source with an awareness of their own capabilities in terms of brightness, contrast and color performance.<br \/>\nCompared to HDR10 content which only delivers static metadata to your HDR TV. This metadata is relatively basic \u2018global\u2019 information on the content being shown. It also can\u2019t provide a display with updates on how each specific shot or scene should be shown. HDR10 doesn\u2019t carry the same facility for continually optimizing the picture to the capabilities of the screen its showing on either.<br \/>\nBasically, Dolby Vision gets more metadata that changes dynamically, giving it access to a greater creative palette. Which in turn allows it to provide a much better picture than traditional HDR.<br \/>\nDoes it deliver better pictures?<br \/>\nIn short, yes. It does.<br \/>\nSome tests have shown, compared to HDR10, that Dolby Vision has more tone definition in bright areas. Also more balanced, nuanced, and natural colors right across the spectrum. There\u2019s better contrast range management and a greater sense of detail. That\u2019s probably because of the color and light management improvements.<br \/>\nOf course, it really depends on what you\u2019re watching and how you\u2019re watching. Some tests have shown that physical media on 4K Blu-ray discs are flat with Dolby Vision, and look better using just HDR10.<br \/>\nBut if you are streaming content from Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and others, you\u2019ll likely have a much better experience with Dolby Vision.<br \/>\nHow can you watch Dolby Vision content?<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re just streaming content from different streaming services, then all you need is a TV that supports Dolby Vision and a streaming device that also supports it. A good number of TVs do now have Dolby Vision support included. These include:<br \/>\nTCL 5-series<br \/>\nTCL 6-series<br \/>\nTCL 8-series<br \/>\nAmazon Omni Fire TVs<br \/>\nLG ZX OLED TV<br \/>\nLG BX OLED TV<br \/>\nLG Nano 90 Series TV<br \/>\nLG WX OLED TV<br \/>\nLG GX OLED TV<br \/>\nLG CX OLED TV<br \/>\nToshiba Fire TV<br \/>\nVIZIO P-series Quantum<br \/>\nVIZIO V-Series<br \/>\nSony Bravia A9G TV<br \/>\nSony Bravia Z9G TV<br \/>\nPhilips OLED+ 935<br \/>\nPhilips OLED 805<br \/>\nPhilips 9235<br \/>\nPhilips 9435<br \/>\nAnd many more\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And here are the streaming devices with Dolby Vision:<br \/>\nRoku Ultra<br \/>\nRoku Streaming Stick 4K<br \/>\nAmazon Fire TV Stick 4K<br \/>\nAmazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max<br \/>\nGoogle Chromecast with Google TV<br \/>\nApple TV 4K<br \/>\nAnd more\u2026<br \/>\nThere\u2019s also a number of 4K Blu-ray players and A\/V receivers that also support Dolby Vision. So it\u2019s not hard to find something that supports Dolby Vision to add to your setup. But which streaming services have Dolby Vision?<br \/>\nCurrently, some titles on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO MAX, Disney+ and Apple TV+ are shot in Dolby Vision. That will expand in the coming years as Dolby Vision becomes even more popular.<br \/>\nWhich brands do not support Dolby Vision?<br \/>\nSurprisingly, Samsung is one of the only brands that does not support Dolby Vision on its TVs. It\u2019s even more surprising, because most of its recent flagship smartphones do support it. But the reason for this is because Samsung is actually backing a royalty-free version of a dynamic metadata HDR system called HDR10+.<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll notice that products with Dolby Vision and even Dolby Atmos included are more expensive. That is because of the royalty that brands have to pay to Dolby for this system and to use the name Dolby Vision on its product. It\u2019s unclear how much companies are paying Dolby for royalties, and it likely depends on the size of the company too.<\/p>\n<p>What content is available in Dolby Vision?<br \/>\nSo what kind of content is available in Dolby Vision? There\u2019s actually quite a few movies and TV shows available in Dolby Vision. There are two different kinds of movies that are available in Dolby Vision. First, those that were shot originally in Dolby Vision, and second those that were upgraded and remastered to Dolby Vision later on. You\u2019ll find some very old Disney movies that are in Dolby Vision, that were made before Dolby Vision was a thing.<br \/>\nHere are some titles that are available in Dolby Vision:<br \/>\nThe Batman (2022)<br \/>\nTed Lasso<br \/>\nTurning Red<br \/>\nDr. Brain<br \/>\nCowboy Bebop<br \/>\nFoundation<br \/>\nSwan Song<br \/>\nTick, Tick, Boom!<br \/>\nThe Harder They Fall<br \/>\nLong Way Up<br \/>\nAnd more\u2026<br \/>\nApple has actually gone all in with Dolby Vision for TV+. Which is a bit surprising, considering Apple usually likes to make their own standard. But everything available on Apple TV+ does support Dolby Vision which is great. Also keep in mind that the iPhone 12 and later also shoot HDR videos in Dolby Vision.<br \/>\nWhich smartphones and tablets support it?<br \/>\nWe\u2019re slowly starting to see more and more smartphones and tablets coming out with support for Dolby Vision as well as Dolby Atmos. Of course, it\u2019s a bit more important on tablets. But here\u2019s the list of smartphones and tablets with Dolby Vision support right now.<br \/>\nSmartphones<br \/>\nXiaomi 11<br \/>\nXiaomi 11 Pro<br \/>\nXiaomi 11 Ultra<br \/>\nApple iPhone SE<br \/>\nApple iPhone 12<br \/>\nApple iPhone 12 Mini<br \/>\nApple iPhone 12 Pro<br \/>\nApple iPhone 12 Pro Max<br \/>\nApple iPhone 13<br \/>\nApple iPhone 13 Mini<br \/>\nApple iPhone 13 Pro<br \/>\nApple iPhone 13 Pro Max<br \/>\nLG G6<br \/>\nAs you see, very few smartphones support Dolby Vision, especially on the Android side. The only manufacturer that was really supporting it on every flagship, ended up leaving the market. And that was LG.<br \/>\nTablets<br \/>\nAmazon Fire HD 10<br \/>\nApple iPad Pro<br \/>\nLenovo Tab 2 A10<br \/>\nLenovo Tab 2 A8<br \/>\nSamsung Galaxy Tab S8 series<br \/>\nThe future of Dolby Vision<br \/>\nSo what\u2019s next for Dolby Vision HDR? Well, Dolby itself wants to get this version of HDR in front of more eyes. We\u2019re seeing more and more Dolby Cinemas opening up, here in the US, the majority of them are with AMC. And it provides a really incredible experience. With Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on the big screen.<br \/>\nThe current HDR landscape is super confusing right now, and that likely won\u2019t change. There\u2019s HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision, just to name a few. And we are probably going to see a bit more coming, especially with the IMAX Enhanced standard on its way.<br \/>\nWhat are Dolby theaters?<br \/>\nIt\u2019s not just TVs that have support for Dolby Vision HDR either. There are also Dolby theaters. AMC has a number of Dolby Cinemas throughout the US. And there is a dedicated theater in Los Angeles as well. The Dolby Cinema uses Atmos. As well as Vision. Giving you a great visual experience and a great audio experience.<br \/>\nIf you haven\u2019t tried watching a movie in a Dolby Theater yet, you should definitely try it. Once you do, you won\u2019t want to go back to watching movies in a regular theater. If you are a member of the AMC A-List, you can actually watch movies in the Dolby Cinema as part of your subscription. This is great news, seeing as Dolby Cinema movies are generally a few bucks more. In my experience, they have been around $15-$18 depending on location. But with A-List, you can watch three movies per week for only $19.95 per month. So watch two movies and it pays for itself. Which is really cool.<br \/>\nDolby Cinemas and theaters are likely to become a much more popular thing in the future too.<br \/>\nWhat is Dolby Vision IQ?<br \/>\nSo what\u2019s next? Well there\u2019s Dolby Vision IQ. Which was announced at CES 2020. This is essentially a development of Vision, which is designed to optimize how content looks according to the brightness of the room your TV is in.<br \/>\nThis means that Vision content, regardless of its overall brightness, should be easier to watch. Unlike those last few episodes of Game of Thrones, which were very dark. And really only looked okay on an OLED TV.<br \/>\nAdditionally, if you switch from a bright live sport to a darker TV show, the TV will be able to adjust accordingly, giving you the best picture possible.<br \/>\nThe post Dolby Vision HDR: Everything You Need To Know \u2013 Updated January 2023 appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dolby_vision_vs_hdr10.webp\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve undoubtedly heard a lot about Dolby Vision in the past few years.
