Etern4l Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 You need special Dolby Vision streams, you can't just enable this on any content. I'm not aware of YouTube supporting this, and on Netflix you need the top-tier subscription, otherwise it's not available. No special configuration should be required (unless Sony are very weird, which I'm sure they're not).

Everything on Youtube is HDR10/HDR10+ Google will only use royalty free for the mass amounts of video they serve. Hence their push for AV1 instead of HEVC/h265. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Yeah.. idk my old 50 in tcl showed dolby vision being active on some hdr youtube videos..perhaps false reading..I think your right because this tv has actual meaningful hdr and cost twice as much so it better have proper hdr lol...

Etern4l Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Maybe it was a temporary pilot or something. How exactly did you determine you were looking at DV YT content? Do you happen to have a link to the video?

Etern4l Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 HDR is not DV. All the "Dolby Vision" YT videos show up as HDR for me (LG), although to be fair I would struggle to tell the difference. All look stunning, 4K works fine.

Etern4l Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Sorry to hear. Customer support? TVs manufactured outside of the LG, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic cartel are probably a bit more of a gamble unfortunately.

ryan Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 I think I solved the issue finally @Etern4lyou were right my tcl tv was just falsely showing dolby being used.. no way a upper end sony tv vs a lower end no name tv would have less abilities 1 ZEUS-COMING SOON Omen 16 2021 Zenbook 14 oled Vivobook 15x oled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower tier brands might be able to compete on features, but there probably will be a bit less polish, quality or durability, and more corner cases to deal with. It's amazing how much more complicated TVs have become, it's a bit strange actually.

ryan Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Yeah was just generalizing...actually hisense has a 55u88h that is supposed to be amazing. Rtings and everyone is CLAIMING it gets up to 1500nits peak brightness with no blooming and a contrast ratio of over 10000 to one.
