Hey folks, just wondering if you wish you had DV in your Samsung, it seems nice to have but I am wondering if having a bright TV such as the 80T that can deal decently with HDR, than not having DV is less of a problem.
I believe it’s downscaled to HDR10 but not HDR10+. I watched a lot of videos on this prior to buying the tv and do not feel it a deal breaker not having it on a Q90.In terms of DV content on Netflix and AppleTV.... is it somehow downscaled to HDR 10+ or does it look noticeably worse? Interested how people who stream this stuff feel - shortchanged or not bothered?
Thanks fella. Sound adviceI believe it’s downscaled to HDR10 but not HDR10+. I watched a lot of videos on this prior to buying the tv and do not feel it a deal breaker not having it on a Q90.
from watching some of the videos online, it’s more important that the tv can handle HDR10 correctly before thinking of DV etc.
no problem at all. One of the videos I watched was this one which explains it quite well.Thanks fella. Sound advice
got a link to a particularly good video?
FOMO's got it right, I think.
Look at the actual hardware capabilities of the TVs first. If the TV has high peak brightness and good contrast, "plain old" HDR10 will look amazing. If the TV can't hit those peaks or has lackluster contrast, Dolby Vision vs HDR10+ is completely moot. Now if you're looking at two TVs with pretty much identical peak brightness and contrast, then you could argue that Dolby Vision support is an advantage for content that uses it, but then that also depends on how the content is mastered. Some Dolby Vision content is not truly HDR at all, as the creators have apparently just stuffed an SDR film into a Dolby Vision container, such as the original Star Wars trilogy and The Mandalorian on Disney Plus:
Edit: Removed FOMO video, since @Daveyboy1985 posted the same video moments before me =)
I would not recommend an OLED in a brightly lit room. I bought a Panasonic OLED for the living room on a fantastic bargain a few months ago, but I took it back because the reflections were too annoying during day time. Now if there was an OLED TV with the same kind of anti-reflective filter as Samsung uses on their top QLED models, I might reconsider. But I'm firmly decided on LCD for now. Definitely no point in spending more for perfect blacks that will be hidden behind the reflection of your windows.
Some of the comments here are quite naive and surprising.
