Dolby Vision - not Dolby Vision

Confusing matters further, not all Dolby Vision-certified sets meet
all aspects of the specification.


Maybe start a list of which TV brands/models meet which
Dolby Vision specifications.

The old Feb article answered your question.

Second, the brightness requirements are malleable in both Dolby and HDR10 formats. OLED sets, for example, cannot top the brightness levels of LCDs, but because OLEDs offer better contrast at lower light levels, they still qualify as HDR10- and Dolby Vision-compatible sets.

So you have two brightness ranges for Dolby Vision sets, one geared for OLED which can't reach very bright levels, and another for LCD's which can't reach the very dark levels. When you go to a movie theater you're likely watching a HDR film at a max of 500 nits, usually less.

Now look at this brightness list from Rtings

FYI if your familiar with staring at very bight bulbs all the time.
200 Nits is the equivalent of about 685 ANSI Lumens. 500 Nits is comparable to about 1,713 ANSI Lumens. 730 Nits is comparable to about 2,500 ANSI Lumens. A 100 watt bulb is 1600 Lumins BTW.
