Anyone have any idea when Sony will update their TV's with Dolby Vision

[Geoff D]

Looks like OPPO can handle the truth!

Gah, it's like the PS3 and 3D all over again: you can jury-rig this shit but you can't do it without compromising something somewhere. When I expressed my initial bewilderment at Robert's mention of profiles I didn't take this simple notion into account, but then I don't think anyone saw it coming that Sony would have a special sauce profile just for them which every other "third party" bit of DV kit needs to be updated to.

Sure, the video quality itself apparently won't be affected but who's to say how the kit providing this low-latency version - putting more emphasis on the player rather than the TV - will react to it? OPPO already assert that the processing on the UHD player is being pushed hard by DV as it is. I don't think this is gonna end well, but if I hafta p-p-p-pick up an X700 to get DV disc playback on my Zed - becuz Sony will SURELY make their own DV player compatible with their own DV TVs, he says fingers crossed - then I'll just have to bite that bullet.

[edit] You think that it'd be in the interest of Dolby themselves to give those vendors fair warning about this so they could time updates to go along with Sony's one, perhaps even committing to NDA's so that no-one would spill the beans ahead of time, but hey, it's the CE industry: the right hand rarely knows what the left is doing. Idiots.
