![]() ![]() It seems as if the movie studios are purposely leaving this extra detail and grain out of the HDR10? but thats just speculation.Īnother thing I want to be a stickler about is that the Nvidia doesnt play FEL dual layer DV movies. Also, usually, the fel layer includes an overlay of extra detail/grain. Mostly because the extra range in brightness provided by the 12 bit metadata (even though there are no commercial panels that display 12bits, the FEL metadata is designed to tonemapping those extra bits to extra brightness). On the other hand though, a UHD bluray/iso that was released with a DV Dual Layer FEL layer should be considerably better than the HDR10 counterpart. But more than likely, A dolby vision movie that is streaming wont look any better than that same movie played off the disc/iso in HDR10 ) (Now this all depends on how well the movie was mastered and graded. So if your playing a UHD bluray (with a the regular bit rate with all the grain and detail still intact) in HDR10 with dynamic tonemapping on, you're probably getting a better picture quality vs watching it streamed on Dolby vision. The thing is that alot of newer HDR TV sets have really good dynamic tonemapping features. DV streaming content is only available in single layer MEL (minimum enhancement layer) metadata, which doesnt restore grain like FEL metadata (which is only available on the UHD discs or their exact ISO copies). The lower bitrate in streaming movies reduces details/grain. Just to be a stickler, I have to point out that if you have a newer HDR TV set Dolby Vision streaming is not better than HDR10 off a UHD disc. All those platforms practically give away games. I made my decision thinking it would be the same landscape as PC. On Ebay you can find brand new still sealed copies for half the price. In the PSstore games like Demon souls, ratchet and clank, returnal, miles morales, etc are still $69.99 plus tax. Or even the occasional discounts on Amazon. I'm missing out on buying cheaper used versions at gamestop and ebay. I regret buying the DISC-less PS5 because I can only buy games from the PSstore where games stay sky high in price $$$. Maybe this is just a sign to leave optical media behind. But I don't really want another piece of hardware cluttering up my counter-top. That's especially true when standalone 4K Blu-ray players start at $219 online. I probably wouldn't have made the decision to save $100 to $200 by getting the digital-only versions of either console, but that optical drive doesn't feel as complete without Dolby Vision. But it's still the kind of thing that I wish I knew going in. Is this something that makes me want to sell my Xbox Series X or PS5? Not really. These consoles are far from cheap, though, at $500 each. It feels like some issue about someone not wanting to pay for it. How the heck do you support Dolby Vision for apps, but not discs? It doesn't really make sense at all. Those consoles only have regular ol' HDR for optical media, which isn't bad, but it's below the established standards.Īs we've stated on Tom's Guide, Dolby Vision television sets "should deliver a more dynamic, brighter and livelier image" than regular-old HDR, though some of the metrics that get us there are supposedly coming from sets that aren't even out yet.įor what it's worth, optical media played back on these consoles does allow for the more-immersive sound of Dolby Atmos, just (again) not Dolby Vision. ![]() That's because streaming apps are the only way to watch something in Dolby Vision on one of these consoles. ![]()
