The 4K HDR Format War: HDR10+ vs Dolby Vision

The new 4K Ultra HD format war doesn’t have anything to do with discs, but instead, the way they are displayed. The HDR format has been going through a battle for sometime to determine whether HDR10+ or Dolby Vision will reign supreme. Watch this video to learn how to make an educated purchase decision when buying 4K TVs, Players, and of course, Movies!

For those unaware, “standard” HDR is HDR10. Then there is 10+ and Dolby Vision. HDR 10 is still better than no HDR at all so most cases you will still see an upgrade from standard Blu Ray to 4K HDR

HDR and all its iterations made me fall in love with movies old and new all over again.

[@ckought69]

From what I understand from several websites, HDR10 was developed by Dolby as a subset of Dolby Vision and given to Consumer Technology Association for free use. Somewhat like how you can download a program for free and get the basic functions, but to get the bells and whistles you have to buy the license key. Something that seemed to be misrepresented is that HDR10 doesn't send any data to the TV at all. From what I read of the specs, it sends HDR information to the TV about the entire video at the beginning of the video signal, but Dolby Vision and HDR10+ send data throughout the video so that HDR can be adjusted for different parts of the video as it plays.

[@thomasvinelli]

Besides the dynamic metadata, Dolby Vision offer 12-bit colour encoding which makes no difference today, on our 10-bit displays, but offers future-proofing when displays catch up. HDR10 and HDR10+ are 10-bit colour.

[@djgromo]

I don't think that HDR10 is 4000 nits only. Most movies are mastered for 1000 nits or 4000 nits but the standard is meant to support even 10000 nits if studio wants to. Dolby Vision has dynamic metadata (similar to HDR10+) but is mastered for 12 bit panels (that means even more colors). HDR10/HDR10+ supports only 10 bit panels/color palet.

[@thomasvinelli]

That's right ,but Dolby Vision in it's present form is a farce .What Dolby is hyping is not what we're getting. DV with a 10 bit panel is HDR10+ What we need is more push back so Dolby at least lets the consumer know DV with 10 bit panels is seeing a watered down version of Dolby Vision 12 bit technology. Funny thing is in the Dolby PDF at there web site They say that. I would think and I could be wrong ,if DV was as great as hyped we would be seeing a huge difference over HDR10 or 10+ ,but by the comments I have seen from different forums that doesn't seem to be true with consumers. The experts pushing DV not so much, They say DV is the cats meow. Someone is lying here and I think it's easy to see what group is lying.

[@5urg3x]

There aren’t any 12-bit panels sold as TVs that I’m aware of. Even high end OLED panels are 10-bit. Most 12-bit displays I’ve seen are for desk sized computer monitors and they’re very expensive, meant for VFX and color artists, not consumers. I don’t see the point...these are not consumer products. No one is going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a professional grade 24” video monitoring display to watch movies on. Even those new Apple displays are like 6 grand, and they’re tiny, not TV sizes.

[@TheCrucialQ]

Dolby Vision is mastered to 12 bits , not for 12 bit panels. Yes, 12 bit panels will benefit more from the higher colors and no color banding. 10 bit panels with primary colors having better precision, as well as Dolby Vision Dynamic tone mapping having no visible artifacts.

[@5urg3x]

Quincy Sloan How is a 10bit display going to accurately show something mastered for 12bit?

@@5urg3x Not for but to. Look at it this way, I use to install for Directv. Sometimes customers would order HDDVR or HD receivers for a old tube TV. If you set the receivers to 1080i while connected to the dinosaur, you get this pristine clean image. Although the TV is 480i native, it benefited from the much higher resolution being sent to the display. Or you can consider super sampling, where the extra pixels from a higher resolution source is used to fill in where aliasing starts on a lower resolution display.

[@murbella7]

The main reasons for products having different versions of HDR (HDR10, HDR10+, DV) is about license fees and what the media makers and distributors are prepared to pay for. If the hardware, (TV or PJ), is capable of displaying the defined levels of High Dynamic Range (that is a defined level of brightness and contrast from the pure black to total white as determined and defined by laboratory tests - and early models of display devices were not capable), then it is simply a case of which software/firmware option is selected to install in the display device. This is why you can have all or none. If the display can handle the levels and ranges as defined by the standards, then what you get will be dependent on which fees have been paid and which chip sets are installed in the display device (or AVR). The disc media itself must (of course) contain a version of the movie that has been graded and rendered with editors and software that also has the version of HDR the distributors want to provide. One never-discussed issue is, you can have a disc encoded with HDR10+ and/or DV, and an AVR also capable of decoding and sending the data to your TV or PJ, but your display device cannot handle the range or does it badly, like cheap TV's, the result is a crappy looking picture.

Hi Jeff, Really liked the video I definitely think one of the best TVs for this is the Sony ZD9 (Z9D as you know it in North America). I say this as also as supporter of the 3D format so at least that way you’re getting a 3D TV with a premium HDR experience for your 4K movies. Yes I know this comment is very convoluted because obviously 3D and HDR have no relationship at all but again if you’re a collector of 3D movies and have a collection of 4K movies as well that might be something else for an end user to look into. I’m not however sure about other manufacturers such as Samsung, Panasonic and LG with their legacy TVs they have since been discontinued as with Sony. Ultimately I just think HDR formats need to be streamlined as to not confuse the general consumer because not all consumers can be nerds. If I was to have a bet I’m going to assume that James Cameron himself is responsible for saying put both HDR formats on Alita, I’ll be looking forward to that review from yourself because that movie is fucking amazing. If there was ever a movie that needed anybody’s support for a sequel and unnecessary sequel not something shoehorned or whatever the fuck it would be this movie. All the best and thanks again for sharing the video and your thoughts and opinions also.

Since every release and hardware supports HDR10, and there are only very marginal differences between HDR10 and either of the “premium” formats, you will still get the majority of the benefit from the HDR on the format. Don’t have HDR10+ or Dolby Vision? Not a big deal - the HDR10 encode will still look amazing compared to the standard Blu-Ray.

[@thomasvinelli]

Wouldn't it kick you in the butt if you knew DV is HDR10+

[@beartube86]

Panasonic tv have all hdr formats

[@branscombe_]

oh man. i have LG UBK 80 4K BD Player and Samsung TU7700 Tv.. I was wondering why my 4K discs was a little bit flat, looks really good with top gun but could look better??

[@ManosPairis]

I got an oppo udp 203 region free and a sony 55 af8 tv. So except from panasonic, their new tvs handle both, prolly I'm stuck with simple hdr and doblby vision.

[@mikmo8597]

I have a LG 65sk8000pua that I bought last year that is compatible with both.

[@Fotograma24]

Well, there are some issues with the explanation. First, HDR doesn’t necessarily show the intention of a filmmaker (I would go even further to say that those films are the exception). It gets a little closer thanks to the P3 Color gamut, which is the color space used for digital projection in cinemas for years, but HDR (brighter highlights) do nothing for films, as these are made for cinema projectors, which aren’t able to show HDR. I know you mentioned Dolby cinema, but Dolby cinema isn’t real HDR, as it only shows a fraction of the spec. In reality, Dolby Cinema can only show the same picture of a very good home projector compatible with HDR (and even then, it’s very likely that they create a “Dolby Cinema Versión” which is very far from Dolby Vision), which again, isn’t real HDR, as those can only show around 250 nits (very far from the 10,000 nit spec). One example of this is the implementation of HDR in Christopher Nolan films on 4K. His real intention has always been to show his films as they were seen in movie theaters, so the HDR on the 4K discs only get to ~250 nits (basically no HDR). The real upgrade in that disc is the wider color gamut and the resolution. Remember, filmmakers make movies for larger screens without HDR. They do not consider that someone is going watch them on a 80” screen with HDR (again, in most cases the filmmaker doesn’t supervise the HDR version, it is created by some person dedicated to home conversions. There are exceptions). That’s why I think all of this HDR spec is an afterthought, it comes to solve nothing in terms of art reproduction. TV shows are other story, as they are created with the latest TV technology in mind. I hope that at some point HDR movies stop being a thing, but they keep the wider color gamut and the increased resolution. :)

What do you recommend? So it doesn't matter if you buy a tv that supports HDR10+ or Dolby Vision? I've heard the LG OLED has the best picture for films but that doesn't support HDR10+, I'm confused but want to buy new equipment :P

[@Ravn7]

Got any sources? Or are you just a pro?

[@jblps]

@@movieace1295 OLED with the best 4K picture

[@movieace1295]

@@jblps I ended up with a Lg oled cx ☺ I've noticed sometimes the hdr or dolby vision is just annoying because it's just very bright light so it gets tiresome watching. But I tweaked the settings a little bit so now its much better.

[@Sheoloch]

A wall of text of bullshit.

[@MiroslavGnjatovic]

Can you make a video about audio set-ups? I have a 4K TV and player and want my audio to have more of a kick but I don't know what kind of system (soundbar/subwoofer, etc.) to get. Thanks.

[@davepastern]

the vast majority of "subs" are NOT subwoofers at all. People don't understand what a proper subwoofer does sadly. I see a lot of so called subs that are simple bass enhancers and not true subs. Enhancing bass output at 35 hz is *not* a subwoofer. Going down to 10 hz is. There is only two brands I recommend for subwoofers, and they are REL and velodyne.

[@jakesrewind]

Definitely hit up Eyesore Cinema and Sonic Boom Records

[@josephregallis3394]

I just ordered a new Samsung 90R QLED TV and haven't even received it yet but I'm hoping that in the future that all we need to do is a firmware update if Samsung decides to have both formats. That would be the best option if this can be done. Are the formats done in software only or do you have to have the right hardware as well?

[@thomasvinelli]

No worry Dolby Vision with 10 bit panels = HDR10+. You can't say i'm seeing DV with a 10 bit panel when DV is a 12 bit technology. Maybe the extra 2 bits won't mean anything except 12 bit panels = 64 billion colors ,something were not seeing presently.

[@davepastern]

PS Sony supports HDR10 and Dolby vision on its AF8 (A8F in the US).

[@tiborkote]

4 years old LG OLED B7 TV support both HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Think there are many other TVs that support both....

[@KISS_MY_CONVERSE]

When the next gen consoles come out will they support dolby vision and hdr 10?

[@FREEDOMFIGHTER1207]

Well I can honestly say my 4k player supports all the formats Panasonic ub9000, however my display does not, even though its a samsung 4k display it's from 2015. Time to upgrade soon. Which display to get that's the question.?

[@excuse.me.sir.]

So if a movie supports HDR and dolby vision, should u turn on both? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to technical stuff. My 4k blu ray player has dolby vision but I'm never sure when I should use it.

[@Lee-qb3xu]

G’day mate I’m pretty sure the new nano LG 4K TVs support both HDR 10 and Dobly vision

[@Lee-qb3xu]

I’m thinking of getting the Panasonic 65GX850A It has both Dobly vision and HDR 10+

[@Lee-qb3xu]

Hi it sounds good and it’s cheaper then both LG and Samsung At the moment it’s selling for less then $2000 Australian At one of our stores Here’s a link Can you have a look and let me know what you think of it please? www.panasonic.com/au/consumer/televisions/premium-ultra-hd-tvs/th-65gx850a.html
