Dolby Vision™ transforms your TV experience with dramatic imaging—incredible brightness, contrast, and color that bring entertainment to life before your eyes.
Don’t just watch TV—be truly moved by your entertainment. Dolby Vision™ transforms your TV experience with dramatic imaging—incredible brightness, contrast, and color that bring entertainment to life before your eyes. In Dolby Vision, a sunset blazes from the screen in dazzling yellows above an emerald sea, an explosion fills your room with an intensely bright burst of light, and even the shadows yield their secrets after dark... It achieves this astonishing image quality through innovative high-dynamic-range (HDR) technologies that, compared to a standard picture, can deliver highlights up to 40 times brighter, with 50 times more light-to-dark contrast, and colors never before seen on TV. Everything feels more vivid and more real; you see new details and nuanced textures; and objects have a subtle three-dimensional feel. The result is a refined, lifelike image that will make you forget you are looking at a screen. One look and you will know—this is the home entertainment experience that engages your senses and inspires your emotions like no other.
Astonishing brightness blazes from the screen up to 40 times more brightly than today’s standard TV sets allow while maintaining lifelike color and detail, so you can see the fiery flash of an explosion as well as the true beauty of a warm sunset.
Deep darks provide a new level of richness and precision that makes every scene look more real and nuanced, helping you uncover secrets in the shadows or see the full depth of night skies.
Expanded contrast uses the much wider range of brights to darks to more closely capture the look of the real world, such as when bright shafts of light come streaming through a window into a dark train station.
Ultravivid colors display many more hues across the full brightness range—some never before seen on standard televisions—to show everything from the most intense neon lights to the subtlest shades of flowers to the true red of a London double-decker bus.
Refined detail helps reveal the nuanced textures and patterns of our world on the screen through the precise use of expanded color and contrast ranges.
Enhanced dimensionality emerges from the picture, with more lifelike forms that have realistic shadows and crisp edges to impart a subtle but convincing three-dimensional feel.
How Dolby Vision™ Works
Dolby Vision™ combines two powerful capabilities—high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut—in a unique technology that works across cameras, production techniques, and consumer devices to deliver a truly stunning image on TV.
Dolby Vision increases the available range of brightness to about 40 times that of current TV standards. Images blaze brightly from the screen, highlights dazzle, and sharper contrast, true blacks, and nuanced shadow detail add an amazingly lifelike sense of depth.
The wide color gamut greatly expands the available color palette, adding a myriad of true, distinctive colors all along the wider brightness range, so that subtle or muted colors show as realistically as bright, vibrant colors.
These Dolby Vision capabilities work as a very powerful complement to HD and Ultra HD screens, making their picture more vivid and lifelike. And the resulting image is striking—watching TV becomes like looking through a window.
The technology is unique in supporting a better image from the artist all the way to the pixel. The Dolby Vision ecosystem empowers movie and TV directors to fully express their visual ideas through content that is specially mastered for Dolby Vision. Advanced cameras, dynamic new postproduction and mastering capabilities, and expanded delivery standards support the creation and distribution of the enhanced image. The visual impact of this content can then be unlocked by a Dolby Vision powered television to produce a stunning picture you didn’t know was possible on a TV.
Dolby Vision leverages astonishing brightness, contrast, and color to deliver dramatic imaging—an image that brings entertainment alive on your screen—for a truly powerful viewing experience.
