Kino will never be the same.
>>217468727>Authentic Motion, the world’s first creative driven motion control tool to make scenes feel more authentically cinematicwhat the fuck...
>>217468946Basically, OLED TVs have a problem with motion sometimes in movies. The pixels change so quickly, that in a slow panning shot, the image can be kind of juttery. Your eyes don't perceive it as fluid motion, but as a series of still images. TVs have motion smoothing capabilities that does fix that issue, but it makes movies look like daytime soap operas instead of actual 24fps cinema. What Dolby Vision 2 allows is for instructions to be included in the metadata of a movie to tell your TV to apply motion smoothing only to specific shots, and to leave the rest of the movie alone.
>>217468727will HDR movies actually look decent on normal TVs again or is this another bullshit paywall to get you to pay $8k for a new TV so the colors aren't washed out?
>>217469078It does require a new TV since it uses a new chip, so an older TV with Dolby Vision 1 can't just download an update. The early impressions seem promising though. On premium TVs, it will use a light sensor to adjust the levels so it looks correct in your room. It will also automatically shift the white balance to a slightly cooler color temperature if you switch to sports (when instructed by the metadata) so that the LED lights will look more like you're actually there.
>>217468727considering how long it took studios to fully onboard to Dolby Vision 1 I'm not even going to pay attention to this shit until 2030
>>217469218It's not going to be on this year's LGs anyway. Sony hasn't announced their lineup yet so we'll see. I'm not ready to replace my LG CX from 2020 yet, but in a year or two I think I'll look for one with Dolby Vision 2. Right now Peacock has said they're going to support it, but that's all so far.
Here's me with a Samsung with only HDR10+ on it. I am Betamax man.
>>217469540Are they going to give up on that eventually? Streaming services all focus on Dolby Vision. HDR10+ is an afterthought.
i have LG and they won't support it apparently
>>217469635Amazon still support it, as do AppleTV+. I don't know what percentage of TVs sold are Samsung, but I'd imagine it's still pretty high. Dunno why streaming services don't just offer both formats.
>>217469778Samsung is the bestselling TV brand, but yeah, their premium HDR is not nearly as widely used as Dolby Vision. The whole reason they use HDR10 is that it's free, and for Dolby Vision they'd have to pay Dolby a royalty. When you put it that way I wonder why other manufacturers don't support it in their TVs. >>217469717Not this year at least. I'd guess next year's models probably will.
>>217469850Knowing Dolby they likely designed Vision in such a way that there's a time-saving through line from how the studios master for real theaters that translates directly to the home theater spec
>>217469944That makes sense. DV is prevalent enough that it would pretty much stop me from considering a Samsung when I'm ready to upgrade. I do love my LG, I only have minor nitpicks, but I might look at a Sony for my next TV since they apparently have the best image processing, and their TVs are the gold standard for picture accuracy out of the box.
>>217468727>tandem rgb oled>g-sync pulsar>dolby vision 2is it time to upgrade again
>>217471102I got my TV in 2020, when the PlayStation 5 came out. I've decided I'll buy a new TV when the PlayStation 6 comes out.
Maybe my most unpopular opinion among movie people but I don't like HDR for home viewing. Too much setup on the part of the user. HDR is great in a theater because presumably professionals have set it up, but it's too big of a pain in the ass to make sure my shit is set up correctly, make sure I downloaded the right format, make sure plex has the correct settings, and all of that just to make the TV look simultaneously too dark and too bright. Negligible improvement in the home video space.
>>217468727So how many decades until they include this in UHD Bluray releases and you can play the remux files on some hacked Chinese Android box and don't need a $1000 UHD player to play a $50 disc? Will this have the dumb distinction between prpfile 5, 7 and 8 again or will they finally get rid of that overengineered shit?
>>217471254They're not thinking about people who download files. They're thinking about people launching the Netflix app on their TV.
>>217471346Then why do they bother with Profile 7 FEL on blurays which was limited to a proper UHD BR player only until like 2 years ago when someone hacked a Chinese box? It's kind of bizarre because virtually nobody is buying 4K discs, I'm convinced there are more people downloading the remux files than actually buying the discs.
>>217471346Even then honestly there's still a few too many steps because nothing's standardized
>>217471412Well my understanding is that, while there's nothing that would technically prohibit Blu-rays from supporting Dolby Vision 2, since it requires new hardware, and since physical media isn't as popular as it used to be, they're not really expecting the technology to come to Blu-ray.
>>217471426It's a lot easier to get a good picture than it used to be, but I do wish it was easier still.
>>217471448Then what's even the point? Streaming shitters watching streaming slop shows on 20 mbit/s bitrate aren't bothered with minute improvements in image quality, only physical media/Plex server autists are.
>>217471510Those bitrates are obviously going to improve over time, and I do watch shows on streaming and I'll enjoy having better image quality.
>>217471586The bitrates are hardware limited. Most TVs by themselves can't do more than 50 Mbit/s, that's peak not average. That's why the most you'll see is like 30 Mbit/s on Apple TV and it'll be that way for the foreseeable future, since you need a $200 streaming box to really play files with UHD disc bitrates.
>>217471699Built in TV apps are a problem too. I wish you didn't need to buy another device, but I understand that they don't want to spend more money on better processors because they'd have to charge more for the TVs.
>>217471894The biggest joke is actually the 100 Mbit Ethernet port in the year of our lord 2026
>>217471919And getting rid of DTS support to save 3 bucks in licensing fees on $2000 TVs and not supporting PGS subs because fuck you that's why
>>217470070TCL is buying Sony home entertainment business. Sony was using Korean panels up until now, at least for their higher end panels, but maybe they are going to switch to Chinese panels for the high end ones as well. You should definitely wait and see what happens.
>>217472093Hmm, I'll keep an eye out. I know the reviews for their big OLED this year were middling, but there was some controversy that the reviewers had their calibration settings wrong and it's actually a great TV. But I'll just pay attention and see what the best TV is when I'm ready to upgrade.
