express.co.uk
<snip>
Below the U7QF series in the range are the A7500F and AE7400F, which ship in more humble sizes. Starting from £449 for a 43-inch A7500F, and rising to £899 for a 55-inch. These come with Dolby Vision support and HDR10+ too, so you'll still be able to experience higher levels of contrast between light and dark areas of the screen – so you won't lose any detail in a movie scene when someone is in a darkened room, looking out of a small window to the brightly lit outdoors.
With its latest range of TVs, Hisense looks set on preserving its reputation as offering solid value TVs with the sort of specs and features other TV brands often offer at twice the price, like Dolby Vision HDR and even OLED panels. |

forbes.com
Apple’s new iPhone 12 Pro has a game-changing feature which no other device in the world can offer.
Speaking at the company’s October 13 “Hi, Speed” event, Greg Joswiak, Apple SVP, Worldwide Marketing, introduced several new ‘Pro’ camera features coming exclusively to the iPhone 12 range. Perhaps the most exciting among these is the news that Apple’s new flagships will be able to shoot, edit and share video in Dolby Vision HDR.
This is an incredible achievement for Apple as, according to Joswiak, the iPhone 12 models are the only devices in the world that can do this.
Compared to the standard dynamic range recordings achievable with most cameras, Dolby Vision allows for the display of a far wider range of bright and dark shades simultaneously, enabling recorded content to use the full quality of a Dolby Vision enabled display such as a high-end TV.
Adding this capability to the iPhone 12 increases Apple’s significant lead over the competition when it comes to mobile video capture, allowing consumers to create content in Dolby Vision for the first time, but also cementing the iPhone’s positioning as a viable professional video capture tool. To emphasise this point, the keynote also featured a short film by The Revenant cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki, which was shot on iPhone 12.
The impact of HDR video, especially on smartphone-sized displays, can be far more significant than stepping up to 4K or even 8K resolution as its improved dynamics and color are immediately noticeable at any distance from the screen. This will give content creators using the iPhone 12 a significant advantage when it comes to making their content stand out from the crowd.
However one problem still remains, while the iPhone 12 is happy to display Dolby Vision content, the rest of the world has yet to catch up. YouTube can host HDR content, but the vast majority of apps currently cannot, limiting the potential audience for Dolby Vision video. It’s quite telling that even Apple’s keynote wasn’t streamed in HDR.
Full Dolby Vision support has been made possible only thanks to Apple’s home-grown A14 chipset which is significantly faster than anything available to Android devices. And, with this one feature, Apple has put itself in a truly dominant position which the competition is currently unable to challenge. Qualcomm’s forthcoming Snapdragon 875 chipset, set to power the next generation of Android flagships, enables HDR video capture, but has no support for Dolby Vision and can’t match Apple’s editing capabilities.
For now at least, If you want to shoot, edit and view Dolby Vision video, you have no choice but to buy an iPhone 12. |

broadbandtvnews.com
4.7 million television sets were sold in Germany in the first three quarters of 2020, according to data from GfK Retail & Technology released by Deutsche TV-Plattform. The figure includes 3.3 million UHD television sets.
This compares to 4.5 million sets sold in the same period in 2019, when the proportion of UHD’s units sold was 62%, representing 2.8 million UHD displays.
HDR is now very much a standard with 97% of UHD displays sold between Q1 and Q3 supporting at least one method for high dynamic range (HDR) and can display content with a significantly greater contrast range and more natural colours in finer gradations.
In 55 per cent (1.8 million) of these HDR displays, in addition to the static HDR standards HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), dynamic HDR methods such as Dolby Vision or HDR10+ are also integrated. 460,000 of the UHD HDR TVs can handle all four of the above-mentioned and currently relevant HDR methods.
Since 2014, a total of 17.4 million UHD televisions have been sold in Germany.
Deutsche TP-Plattform assumes that with the positive sales track continuing the threshold of 20 million UHD TVs sold will be reached by the end of 2020.

Earlier rumours to the contrary are false
whathifi.com
<snip>
While Microsoft is right to point out that the Xbox Series X supports the more widely available HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats, it's still a shame to discover that HDR10+ isn't also on the spec list after all. Owners of Samsung TVs will be particularly disappointed, as their sets resolutely don't support Dolby Vision. |
