HDR10 only vs HDR & Dolby Vision

[Bruce Morrison]

I have a very nice 65" OLED TV that supports 4K/UHD and HDR10 but unfortunately not Dolby Vision. I bought it about 4 years ago when DV was just in its infancy and not included on many 4K/UHD discs. I'm sure all the corresponding TVs launched in the following year would have included support for DV.

My TV is still performing very well and I wouldn't normally expect to be replacing it so soon. But many of my 4K/UHD discs I've bought in the past 4 years do include DV. So my question is: with a 65" screen size, how much does DV really improve the viewing experience compared with just HDR10?

Any views or comments would be really appreciated.

If you have only recently bought the TV I say wait a little bit. Although DV sometimes can make things look better, hdr10 is also very good.

Lots of threads asking this, for years.

DV is just an alternative to HDR10, it's an additional layer of metadata. It wouldn't necessitate upgrading your TV unless you own a budget model that struggles with HDR to begin with. I wouldn't be concerned with FOMO here, some discs have neither DV or HDR, but still look great. Recently, I've been turning off DV, and just calibrating manually if desired. (Also, make sure your player supports DV.)
