Can't say I'm surprised: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...e#post16542253

But don't tell the OLED cognoscenti that. They don't like it up 'em!

[P.A.C.O.]

Does anyone know if the PS5 will have Dolby Vision for UHD playback? I'll be getting one soon as my first UHD drive and am worried now I won't be able to experience DV.

Disney's brief and cool love affair with Ultra HD Blu-ray

It’s a well-known fact that Hollywood in general and Disney in particular have been slow to warm to new distribution media for home video, and even to the concept of home media itself. This has been the case with LaserDisc, with VHS, with DVD, with downloads and with streaming. Even though every time it seems a good market in the end where they make healthy margins. And the home video market has long time ago overtaken the box office.

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray has been no exception to Disney’s initial hesitation. Of all the major studios it was the last one to jump on board. And when they finally did, it was somewhat halfheartedly. Their first two releases, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 lacked Dolby Vision while the releases of these movies on streaming platforms did feature this premium HDR format. That was a temporary issue, Disney indicated.

PAAM, say you. I say, who else at the table has given away some of their personal Blu-rays to contestant winners like so (and paid for mailing to Canada to boot) - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...nt#post1793726

misleading about the use of/or lack thereof of DV by Disney, not to mention Geoff’s profession, honorable though it may be, perhaps even a true essential? worker during corona pandemic times, which is to be applauded even more

notwithstanding our biased love of Blu-rays and UHD BD’s (long before Yoeri), and some here's appreciation of Dolby Vision from the get-go, studios are for-profit businesses and Disney isn’t bad at, for instance, little Insider info – with the advent of Disney+ , Disney has so much work on its hands that they can’t even hire enough people

Anyone else watching Dolby Summit? They will discuss DV at 12:30PT. One of the subjects will be StudioCanal and how they remaster their catalog in HDR. I really hope they make up for the disaster that was the Terminator 2 BD.
