If you are on this post, it means you are here to ask, What Is Dolby Vision TV? We have its definition and uses. Dolby Vision TV is supposed to be a revolution in televisions. It sounds too good to be true, but companies like LG and Sony have already released their Dolby Vision TVs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

How do I get started in watching HDR programming?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

At the moment, there are three Hollywood studios that have released movies with Dolby Vision: Disney, Lionsgate, and Universal. These titles are available to purchase on UHD\/4K Blu-ray discs.<\/p>\n

Because these discs also meet Ultra HD Premium standards, they will play just fine through your current 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player connected to your 2016 TV or projector when you get it home.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What Is Dolby Vision TV? Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dolby Vision is a high dynamic range (HDR) technology that delivers greater brightness and contrast than any other HDR format.<\/em> With up to 4000 nits of peak brightness, it is designed to deliver the highest-quality source material possible. This also comes with higher contrast ratios and wider color gamuts for an engaging viewing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the difference between Dolby Vision, HDR10 & HLG? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The differences between these three differ in several aspects, but we’ll keep it simple – Dolby vision is a TV format that consists of both mastering and playback standards, while HDR10 & HLG are just standards for content mastered in HDR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you probably know, there are currently no means of getting HDR content besides buying an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc. However, it’s not possible to watch this on non-UHDTVs since there is no way to deliver the information due to scaling issues (no HDTV can display more than 8 bits).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once HDR gets broadcasted on TV, it will be using HLG format, which is backward compatible with SDR TVs, while Dolby vision will most likely use a different delivery method entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, if your current TV supports any of these formats, then future HDR TVs should be able to decode the signals that they receive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this moment in time, it\u2019s safe to assume that most upcoming TVs with support for one of these formats will also support others, but we’ll have to wait and see. Since Dolby Vision is a TV standard, what do you need to watch? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need a compatible TV and device capable of sending out the signal (e.g Xbox One S). Also, you should be able to switch between modes in your TV’s settings menu – when enabled it will automatically switch when playing content that is mastered with Dolby Vision. It looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
