Correct, Samsung doesn't support DV. They are part of the group that created HDR10+. And while they don't charge licensing fees to use it they do charge an annual "maintenance fee". But so far the industry is set on DV.
Not supported by ATV4K. Only a small amount of Vizio and Samsung TVs support HDR10+ (US TVs) anyway.
Depends on the content. Some content in DV doesn't look any better than HDR. Though other content will look much better. I don't know that I'd buy a new tv just for that but if you're due for an upgrade I'd only look at TV's that have DV.I never really understood or looked into Dolby Vision HDR vs HDR10 (what I currently have). I thought I was golden with HDR10, but this article is making Dolby sound amazing and telling me I need to buy a new TV!What do you guys think? A worthwhile upgrade?
Have you ever watched 4K HDR shows on an OLED? The difference is stark.
Here's your cable.
It looks great, but I'd never own an OLED because of the issues with burn (I watch too much CNBC). They also don't get as bright as a TV like the QLED Samsung Q9.
exactly. 4k isn't really the upgrade. Depending on tv size and viewing distance it can look better. Or not. HDR on the other hand is an absolutely massive improvement. Completely game changing. And since it's the main difference I'd only look at TV's that support dolby vision.
Vizio released an OTA update to give some some sets (I believe 2019 and 2018) HDR10+ support. They already had DV support. If you have two UHD disc players and two sets you can force each disc player to force the formats to compare.
When it's in your viewing environment they are plenty bright enough. I've heard people say they don't get as bright but there's times it's so bright I have to squint. So I really don't get the complaint.
Forcing it really isn't accurate if the content doesn't have it. You would need content that is mastered in DV and HDR10+ to compare. You never want to force an HDR mode.
Vincent Teoh does an in-depth comparison here.I never really understood or looked into Dolby Vision HDR vs HDR10 (what I currently have). I thought I was golden with HDR10, but this article is making Dolby sound amazing and telling me I need to buy a new TV!
If you're in a naturally lit room, it's sometimes annoying to have an OLED. I have a buddy with the 77" LG C9 and it's noticeably dim during the day. In controlled lighting, it's phenomenal. I have a Samsung 82" Q9 and I honestly think the picture is better in the day, better for gaming and almost as good for HDR movies, just not as inky blacks.
On my TV (TCL P605), DV looks sightly more vibrant than HDR10, even after calibrating both modes. DV black level are also a little better. It's not a huge difference but, I do notice one and prefer DV. Other's experiences may differ on their TVs.
yeah it can depend on lighting conditions. I feel like we have a good amount of light during the day and I'm not having issues with it. The C9 did receive a gaming focused firmware update. Input lag is down. Support for G-sync. It's fantastic for gaming. I'm on the B6 and considering upgraded to the 77" C9 or Sony A9G master series.
I agree it's not the worst thing ever, but if I'm paying $5,000 for a TV, I don't want this after 18 weeks.
Use your TV's motion settings. Problem solved. With the proper settings you won't get dropped frames from that and you also won't get the soap opera effect(which no one wants). I have my LG B6 set that way and never see any dropped frames.
Do your wallet a huge favor and never take a good long look at an OLED TV. I almost wish I hadn’t, for I am now ruined.
You mean HDR10? Apple, along with almost all streaming services, do not support HDR10+.
It's ridiculous that Netflix charges for HD and UHD. This is very cable TV-like behavior. And before someone say "but you get 4 screens", I have no need for 4 simultaneous screen. I just don't want Netflix to look like crap in comparison to Amazon, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Hulu originals.

We're hearing multiple reports worldwide from subscribers to Apple TV+, Apple's video streaming service, about the loss of support for watching shows in Dolby Vision HDR on Apple TV 4K set-top boxes connected to compatible 4K TVs.
![apple-tv-plus-series-banner.jpg]()
Over the past two weeks, more and more users have taken to the MacRumors forums, Twitter, Reddit and Apple's discussion pages to highlight the problem, which appears to be affecting not only new show episodes as they're made available, but existing episodes hosted on the service that previously worked in Dolby Vision HDR.
For example, early episodes of "See," "The Morning Show" and "For All Mankind" are no longer being streamed in dynamic Dolby Vision HDR, but revert back to static HDR in HDR10 format on TVs that officially support Dolby Vision. The same goes for brand new episodes of these shows that were released today, despite the fact that they still carry the Dolby Vision HDR support label on the summary screens.
Compared to static HDR10 which works uniformly across content, Dolby Vision HDR use dynamic image metadata that enables Dolby Vision-capable TVs to adapt the extended color gamut and increased contrast range of HDR on a scene-by-scene and even frame-by-frame basis. Losing the DV HDR support can result in scenes that look too dark, appear like a negative image, or have an odd tint to them.
@UHD4k I don't know if it's just me but today on my Apple TV 4K when I watch an Apple TV+ show (See and Morning show) it's in HDR instead of Dolby vision. Used to work fine.Weird.— Djems (@Djems94) December 6, 2019
Some users have suggested that the affected episodes may still be encoded in Dolby Vision and it's actually a bug in Apple TV's Match Dynamic Range feature that's preventing the set-top box from outputting the source content correctly. However, it seems more likely that Apple has removed support from the source content while it resolves a problem streaming shows in Dolby Vision.
It's worth noting that the problem doesn't currently seem to affect all shows on Apple TV+ for at least some users. There are scattered reports that "The Elephant Mother" documentary and Apple's "Dickinson" show still appear to be streaming in full Dolby Vision HDR, as do some kids shows like "Snoopy in Space."
We've contacted Apple for comment on the issue and will update this article if we learn anything more.
