From what I've been told DV IQ will only be added to 2020 TVs, although whether that's because of hardware limitations in 2019 TVs and earlier or a business decision I can't say.Hi - any indication if this might come to pre-existing TVs that have Dolby Vision and ambient light sensors? Or whether it requires some sort or custom/calibrated sensor.
Thank in anycase for the write up.
DV IQ just adjusts the image based on dynamic metadata and the amount of ambient light in the room. However a calibration will ensure the SDR, HDR10 and Dolby Vision modes are all accurate.I'd be more interested to know how DV IQ compares to/works with professional ISF calibration. I.E would the purchase of a DV IQ TV negate the need for Professional Calibration as it's working to Director intended PQ , or would a professional calibration still be worth doing ?

To be honest you don't need DV IQ, all Dolby Vision TVs have Cinema and Cinema Home settings, so just use the former in a darkened room and the latter when there's a lot of ambient light.Thanks, appreciated.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it never comes to older sets even if it is possible. But it’s good to hear - if I correctly infer - that they haven’t been talking about a “special” ambient light sensor, which would categorically rule that out forever.
Just be aware that some manufacturers, like Philips, add their own processing and motion smoothing to Dolby Vision Bright modes, so you will need to switch those off. Dolby allows image manipulation to the bright modes, but DV dark will always be as intended with no processing.To be honest you don't need DV IQ, all Dolby Vision TVs have Cinema and Cinema Home settings, so just use the former in a darkened room and the latter when there's a lot of ambient light.
That's a good question. At the Panasonic demo they had to put a smartphone light under the sensor to actually get it to work because of the size of the room, which suggests it's very dependent on the ambient light falling directly on the TV. Unfortunately there's very little the viewer can do to compensate because ordinarily you'd increase the backlight/OLED light, but with HDR those settings are already maxed out. That only leaves manipulating the PQ curve, which isn't ideal and might not even be possible (depending on the mode and the manufacturer).Whilst I appreciate the light levels are measured by the TV where it's located, could they not differ from the primary viewing position in a lit room? Our TV is against a south facing wall with 4 windows. The viewing position is on the opposite side of the room and thus more brightly lit during the day. Would the viewer be able to compensate for the difference whilst in this setting?
It's not another format.Do we really need another format?

Is it of any use at all in a blacked out rooom?
I only ever watch like that.
why sad fellow?
No, that's just a fundamental limitation of the technology. The local dimming on LG's NanoCell LCD TVs has been poor for years and given the company has spent the last decade investing in OLED, do you really think it's particularly bothered about LCD?Would this help with blooming on the soon to be released nanocells?
Good point, I’m still using a Samsung UE55B7020WW from 2009 and doesn’t have issues with blooming at all (unless i’ve got use to it)No, that's just a fundamental limitation of the technology.
