Dolby Vision

Dynamic HDR format that adjusts brightness and color scene-by-scene for cinema-grade video.

Also known as: DV

Full Definition & Technical Explanation

Dolby Vision is a dynamic HDR standard. Unlike static HDR10, it sends per-scene metadata so highlights and colors stay accurate, and it can drive very bright OLED panels.

Requires an OLED/HDR panel and a licensed chip/display. Common on iPhones and flagship Android. See HDR Support: Yes, Dolby Vision.
