This is sort of question that vastly depends on the display,.the movie or TV show and the actual master. Some Dolby specs are just stupid like supporting up to 10K bits. What display can get that bright in even a small window? Most movies are mastered at 1000 nits, so even if your TV gets...

First are you sure it's a screen burn in and not image retention? Image retention is usually disable, but not always and tends to happen on LCD technologies like IPS while.OLED tends to suffer from burn in. “burn-in” is used as a catch-all term for any kind of ghosted image on a screen. The...

I noticed a sound quality difference on the last gen ATV4K. After some research I found out that it uses "Dolby MAT Atmos'. Instead of bitstreaming the audio too a soundbar or reciever to decode, the ATV4K decodes the audio and sends it out as PCM with the spatial metadata included. Dolby Atmos...

I particularly like being able to use Home Assistant as a network ADB server to do voice commands like "hey Google, turn on Shield Netflix" to launch Netflix, you can pick your own trigger words also. Google Assistant or Alexa gets confused if you just use "Netflix" though. Button mapper also...

Only if you never do an OS update. The Nvidia Shield got Google TV quite a while ago. I know because me, like lots of people were on Nvidia's forums complaining and their response was they were forced by Google so the only option was to do a factory reset, update to the latest update before they...

While you may not be enjoying the show. I am. The fact that you flat out say that this shows isn't for ANYONE is extremely close minded as different people enjoy different things but according to your article nobody, and I mean nobody should watch it period. What we do not need to do, is watch...

This sounds a lot like fiber HDMI cables, which can have much longer runs than copper and fiber is also unidirectional with a source and display end. That and you can run HDMI o er a CAT5 matrix but those are obviously not cheap. Also, is this truly for 2.1 cables? The HDMI forum has said HDMI...

Agree 100 percent. On paper, DV looks superior, but in real.life the only current benefit is dynamic metadata. Outside that, the higher specs like DV supporting displays up to 10000 nits vs HDR10+ being 4000. My Samsung Neo is around 1800 nits (give or take 100 nits). If it was twice as bright...

This guy explains it better, at least in regards to Xbox and no DV for UHD disks. It sounds like a combo of things. View: https://youtu.be/VNbNH9NCAMQ

I can't say for 100 percent certainty, it could be license issues but it seems like LLDV (player led) and the way it was implemented vs TV led. Pretty much ever DV display maker prefers using TV led for movies. The Xbox also appears to have an issue with disks that go over 100GB. All 3 LOTR...

Believe it or not, there are at least 6 known profile levels. Within a given profile, the maximum level a base layer (BL) or enhancement layer (EL) is restricted by the Profile. UHD disks use profile 7 (MEL and FEL). Now let us break down what are some of the Profiles that Dolby has had dished...

I purchased a Dune HD Vision Pro Solo for this reason. DV is more confusing then most people know. This started when Sony and Dolby Labs introduced LLDv ( low latency Dolby Vision). Previously, STD, where the display did the dynamic tone mapping was done for one reason. At the time the version...
