Dolby Vision
I was just at a private demo today of Dolbys new projection system called Dolby Vision.
In a word it's MINDBLOWING.
There is so much about it I'm not typing out on my phone.
But the tech is also coming to home television starting with Vizio in a couple months and then others.
Also look for Dolby Experience theaters to start popping up by the end of the year...they will be unreal and take the moviegoing experience to a whole new level. The first already opened in the Netherlands.

I read that Philips and a few other brands are using Dolby Vision but brands like Samsung, Sony, but not sure about LG and Panasonic won't have it. Is this a cost issue?

Well it needs it's own area on the the TV SoC/processor. And it also will be licensed just like the audio side of Dolby.
To use full advantage TVs will also need a lot more lighting power (more LEDs, etc) but even without that it is still a large increase in brightness with the "same equipment".
Unlike what was mentioned in another thread, there is a substantial increase in bandwidth required for this tech at almost 25%. It has something with how they are layering two codecs together.

But if you are just watching BR or cable, or whatever...you will get to enjoy some of the advantage of what it will have to offer and you won't be eating bandwidth.Right now the only company set to offer DV content is Vudu...and since they are Wal Mart I don't support it...but hopefully others will come around.

HDR also muddies up the waters. And is why Panny/LG/Samsung haven't jumped on the DV bandwagon yet.

Its expanded dynamic range and latitude.
When you watch something on your HD TV right now its broadcast or finished in rec709 color space...its very limiting in color and where it clips the highlights and crushes the blacks. It far from shows you what you actually captured on your film negative or sensor. Vastly different than a digital print you watch in the theater which is a completely different kind of file.
All this is doing is bringing more the image the cinematographer intended the audience to experience.
The lack of true standards is a whole other frustrating issue in and of itself...

^I didn't mean Dolby Vision and HDR, I meant there are competing technologies like BR vs HDDVD...

So, if HDR is referring to something else than its something I haven't heard of yet...and with a name like that it will serve to confuse the fuck out of people.
I dont know how many people know of DV and whats its about. I had no clue about it until I was invited to see a demo. And at the projection demo they told us about the TVs coming as well.

I saw an article on it a few weeks ago somewhere. Sounds fascinating, bringing more 'fidelity' and realism to the screen. Count me in!

I can't wait to experience an entire movie in DV.
And Im very curious how the tech will translate over to TVs.

When you say HDR, to me it refers to a technique of merging two series of the same image to create a giant range in dynamic latitude. Mainly in photography...but the RED Epic has a HDR function as well. Its a look I do not care for mainly because its improperly used 90% of the time.

Ugh. Another format war. Just stupid. Dolby vision is a much more thought out technology but I guess we'll see how this crap plays out...again. Good thing I'm in no rush to upgrade any of my stuff. 1080p works just fine for me.

Yeah exactly! Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are starting to be commonplace on Netflix created content, if not ATMOS at least Vision. Altered Carbon looks so good on my display.

Hmm didn't know they did ATMOS over the internet? I figured we were stuck with Dolby Digital 5.1 until broadband improved.
What is reference quality for Netflix DV shows? I kind of like demoing the opening chase in Stranger Things s2 e1 with the lit buildings and night sky.

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/64066 - Says you only need 3Mbps to do ATMOS, obviously the more the better, my pipe is 120Mbps and see no issues.
The Netflix logo opening of Bright has a good Atmos bit, Stranger Things is coded in Atmos I believe too, I would have to check. If you've seen The Cloverfield Paradox, there are some great scenes in there that really highlight Atmos, I would have to watch it again but happy to so I can find what scenes really shined.
