Dolby Vision could be the future of HDR TVs: tech

Next big thing ( netflix is behind the 8 ball)
High dynamic range is the next big thing in home entertainment. Ultra HD is so passe, despite there still being a dearth of content - though it feels like we've been saying that for years now.
But HDR is all about getting greater definition and variation of colours into a moving image, and is arguably far more impactful than Ultra HD on its own. In fact, when a 1080p HDR display was shown at a recent industry event it had a greater reaction than any of the 4K UHD content doing the rounds.
The likes of Netflix, when it launches its HDR support next year, are actually going to prioritise HDR over Ultra HD if the necessary bandwidth (some 30Mbps) isn't there to support both.
Sadly no TVs rocking the new Dolby Vision-supporting chipsets have been revealed as yet, but with so many of the silicon manufacturers set to offer support we could see a swathe of Dolby Vision-capable HDR TVs next year.
