So helpful to see an objective and informative comparison between the difference, as always Vincent!
I've already decided on what tv to buy but i keep watching his reviews cause he is awesome
Hi Vincent, can you test again and see if this DV to HDR10 conversion issue has been fixed on the latest Apple TV 4K update?
Thank you!
Vincent how are you bringing up the yellow video info at 4:10?? Can you do this on the Apple TV 4 as well? Thanks again for all the great videos!
I just finished getting a couple Dolby Vision versions of some 4K movies I already had in HDR like Top Gun, Back to the Future, Sonic etc... to see if I could tell any difference and I have to say, it's definitely negligible for me. The difference between watching the two is so small I would never be able to tell.
I get confused on weather I should watch (and listen) to my favorite high quality shows on my 77" LG GX or on my apple 4k TV?
Do you have a list of the MaxCLL of every 4K Blu-ray? I'd really love to see that information. The fact that the Mad Max 4K Blu-ray has some pixels that go up to nearly 10,000 nits is quite surprising to me!
Bless him! Finally uploading in 4k!
Thank you Vincent. Another great review!. If you can, please check into how well the ATV 4K handles the up conversation of non 4k HDR to 4k HDR & DolbyVision. With this test, it should cover all the bases as to just how good ATV 4K really is. As it stands now for me in my humble opinion, ATV 4K is a great deal and I’m thoroughly enjoying what I see on my LG 65” B6P. I keep it set to DV@ 24hz for all content, but would like to know through your tests if it’s doing a good job at up conversion.
Thanks for the great work ! I own a Sony KD75XE9405 and am thrilled with it. One question though: is there a way to display infos like resolution, HDR mode etc while watching something? I haven’t managed to find anything in the manual...
What tv should I get, to have dolby vision, I need a new tv.
Vincent - very informative! Have you installed the TV-OS public beta on one of your ATV 4K yet? Just curious if Apple has made any changes to the MaxCLL output to better handle certain content.
What’s your opinion of the Apple 4K Tv beta software update for Sony? Dolby is way too dim thru the Apple TV but looks spectacular thru the internal Apps. Opinion?
Cheers for the comparisons Vincent Dolby Vision has subtle differences that seem to make it better slightly. Great comparison as always I think you are the only person doing this on You Tube that I have seen.
How are you displaying the video properties (yellow text)?
Linker box, he tells you.
Thorbjørn no he enabled a feature on the Apple TV. Debug or dev mode or something like that. Any Apple TV can do it.
I have been looking for this answer everywhere. Please help me out with this
Hi I have a Samsung 55ku6300. It has 4K. I see comparisons with Sony. But could you please tell me if I get Apple TV 4 k will I get better processing of hd content and 4k on Netflix and other movie apps like Amazon prime ?
How about DV vs HDR10+ vs HDR10 on streaming platforms? Netflix recently optimized their HDR content
I have dolby vision on in the Apple TV and I have a tv with dolby vision capability. question, do you change in the Apple TV under the match content setting, do you change the settings to turn on "match dynamic range" and match frame rate"? or you just turn these 2 match content . thx off?
Amazing analysis as usual, but isn’t the best choice output at 24hz? For film viewing I found great movement on my Oled (0 deblur, 0 dejudder)
Thank for your good, very professional video, but I have a question. Considering all the actual tv panels are 8 and 10 bit, and that it is not a "real dolby vision", but only a "Dolby vision SUPPPORT", do you really think the dolby vision on the actual 4k HDR 10bit panels is so important? your professional answer would be very helpful! Thank you.
i would like to hear this also
I’d like a response too.
great video with tons of detail! subscribed a week ago and going through past videos. all are excellent!
Hi Vincent, Will Apple TV 4k support HDR10+ through firmware update? Thanks to reply...
Need to rerun this test on current Sony firmware which has broken DV and made it too dark via AppleTV
Very interesting. I just subscribed because I like how you break everything down. Thanks.
Would you be able to do the same type of comparison from a HDR movie (like alien covenant on APT 4K). I have an LG E6 hooked up to the APT 4K with Dolby Vision output. Would the DV settings increase the picture quality of an HDR movie? or should i run my tv in HDR mode for HDR content?
Finally that tv has the stand .. lol . Great reviews Vincent.
hey, the comparison of the scene which has a guy inside the car is not using the same frame. In a different scene a slight difference in time frame would be fine, but considering the context of that specific scene, utilizing the same frame is imperative for a fair comparison. what's up with that? you didn't notice it?
Should I use 4:2:2 chroma with Apple TV 4k. If i'm not misteken - the source material is in 4:2:0 (either from the streaming liek apple tv or bluray) and it need to be in RGB to be dispalyed on TV. The best would be 4:4:4 to be displayed RGB, but other way the source have to be upscaled. So I can upscale it in the Apple TV form 4:2:0 (source) to 4:2:2 and then in TV from 4:2:2 to RGB or I can send 4:2:0 from Apple TV (same as source) and upscale it to RGB inside TV.
Which option is better? Is Apple TV doing good job of upscaling chroma?
thank you so much but how did you get the option for dolby vision? my apple tv gives me HDR only and my tv supports DV I have LG B6
Vincent, I get horrible banding on Dunkirk 4K stream in the sky, using HDR10 only Hisense TV, is this because of Dolby Vision to HDR10 conversion?
did they change the conversion data? Hdfury Vertex is reporting --max-cll/fall "4000,1000" and not --max-cll/fall "1000,400"
What’s the best 4k tv in a range of 1000$ to 1500$? For the best paring of Apple tv 4k
Compare the Nvidia SHIELD TV vs Apple TV Vincent! We want to see this.
Nvidia doesn't support DV
Nvidia doesn’t have the power.

Thanks Vincent! I think I'm going to stick with my 4k UHD discs...
Excellent review for someone thinking about an alternative to the Roku Ultra. For now it may be useful for me to have Dolby Vision converted to HDR10 since I still own a Samsung TV with HDR10 only. Apple TV performs the conversion but Roku does not. What is your assessment of the Apple TV converted HDR10 picture quality vs just a straight 4K picture with no HDR10 conversion. Is it any better than what we get with Roku without DolbyVision?
Larry Braddy if you have a 4k hdr Samsung tv. Probably the TVs native Netflix app for example will give better HDR results than a aTV
Another in depth stuff here, great work.. When it comes to LG’s Active HDR tonemapping, do the 2016 Panels have it too like the C6? If I enable ‘Dynamic Contrast - Low’ do I get the same tonemapping as the 2017 models? Thanks Vincent!
The Active HDR tone-mapping is only available on 2017 LG sets, sorry.
HDTVTest Thanks Vincent. I hope Apple TV can output DV at 24fps without problems. Cos’ afaik, 2016 OLEDs can only do DV up to 30fps.
HDTVTest is there a equivalent feature on the Sony Bravia side? I wonder if my 900e can correct the image as well.
I don't have HDR tv, I don't even have 4k yet, only aspire to own one next year. But this stuff is soo interesting that I am gonna bing this channel over the weekend. Good stuff vincent.
please explain what Hz you use when running the LG in DolbyVision, 24hz or 60hz? If 60hz what the setting on the LG? some DV movies looking weird in 60hz DV on my E765V thank you
How does he bring up the menu with yellow letters?
Do some tv's ignore this signal of Apple restricting the nits like for example Samsung qled?
Dolby vision vs hdr?
Are they just diferent about image processing?
What happen if i play dolby vision on apple tv4k and then out hmdi to sony x8500f which only has hdr 10. Video display will be hdr10 or dolby vision?
Thanks
One more question I have: how does an HDR10 movie work out in iTunes. Do they provide the right meta data as on a disc or are these fixed values also applied to a ‘native’ HDR10 movie. There are some movies that are non Dolby Vision. What is also very strange: some movies appear in 4K first, then become a HDR10 movie and some days later are all of a sudden Dolby Vision movies? Even when there is not a Dolby Vision version on a UHD disc. Very puzzling. Do movie studios make Dolby Vision version especially for Apple or the streaming business?
Is it hdr10 or also capable of hdr10+?
Fantastic job Vincent! I like my LG B7 even more after this video.
How do you bring up playback info?
is there a other streaming box who have an similar feature like the apple tv 4k?
The Apple tv 4k Dolby vision crashes to the home screen when in use especially watching Netflix Dolby vision. I even use the belkin hdmi 2.1 sold by Apple. They need to update tvos 12.1 is still not good enough
So if I watch 4k ultra HD blueray on my TV that has HDR 10 but not dolby vision will it still work?
Do i need to switch on dynamic contrast in my lg tv?
Is lgun7300 good for picture quality and caliberation
I understand the HD Fury linker 'tricks' devices into outputting to their maximum, for the displaying device to then process and produce the best possible image (in layman terms - which is the extent of my knowledge). If this is an accurate description, would it help in this scenario, as the display would not be limited by inaccurate metadata?
I'm interested as I use the Epson TW9300w projector which doesn't support Dolby Vision, but does it's own processing/upscaling, and I want to understand how to get the maximum data delivered to it from the (soon to be delivered) ATV.
My question also applies to the Xbox One X. Thanks.
8:59 does not look like it is the same frame, at all, dolby vision frame seems to be some ms earlier, the head position is a little bit different, the blur in the ear is not present on the HDR10 frame and the obvious differences in the shadow detail, can't be result of the conversion, please check it out.
I didn't think it was the same frame either. With lightning strikes the light can alter dramatically from frame to frame. I think you'd have to stop them both exactly on the same frame to compare that scene
Thanks.
The background of the first DV Furiousa shot you say is better looking in the sky the detail is missing on the DV side
How do we get the detail information on the left side (the text in yellow) on content we are playing.
Question: One way I can think of achieving this DV->HDR10 conversion without delivering dynamic metadata to the TV Set, but at the same time maintaining a significant level of visual fidelity, is getting the min/max/avg luminance that the TV physically supports(from the TV EDID CEA-861 static metadata block) and using it for doing a tone-mapped HDR10 version of the original Dolby Vision signal constrained to the max/avg luminance values that the TV physically supports. So, the metadata you would see on the HDMI info-frames will be exact same metadata that the TV's EDID will report. Yes, you would also have a constant metadata independent of the content, but the ideia here is that tone mapped version would be specifically designed for the specific display luminance capabilities. What you think?
Have you ever done a calibration on a E-65 vizio ?
Hello .!! Witch TV would you choose for 3000 euros? SONY KD55A1BAEP OLED , LOEWE bild 4.55 OLED , PANASONIC TX-55EZW954 OLED , LG 65B7D OLED , PHILIPS 55POS9002 ?? It will be used for Home Theater
assuming price is the same for all ...the 65 inch B7....10 more inches trumps all the other advantages of the other brands
Yeah but Panasonic and Sony have much better Smothness and Colors... and more Details at movies.. i really dont know.. im so confused
sure...but 10 more inches outweighs all that. If you are comparing TVs of the same size at the same price, then there is a debate to be had.
so you would go for the b7? and it has DV.. thats the other thing
absolutely. I myself have a panasonic ez952 oled, but that was becos the 55 inch version in my country was even cheaper than the 55 inch LG C7 oled. If someone was offering me the LG C7 65 inch version for the price of a 55inch panasonic/ sony oled i would have jumped on it.
You should do an updated version since the Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen upscales and does also hdr10+ as well now (except for maybe Yt or Netflix?). Especially since Samsung seems to be holding its ground on not supporting Dolby vision on any of their tvs and can be a major deterrent for consumers like myself despite how shiny their stuff is lol
Great review, I can't tell you im extremely happy with my LG B7 and ATV4K... Even the TV on its own in Netflix is fantastic.
this is very insightful thanks
So i have samsung q8c. Does this apple tv can display HDR since samsung doesnt support dolby vision?
Yes, it will display in HDR, just not Dolby Vision.
I got into the 4K scene the end of 2016. My current TV is a Sony XBR-43X800D. At the time when I was upgrading the two things said to look for were 4K, and HDR compatibility which I have HDR10, and 4k. One question this video brought up to me, being someone who isn't fully sighted is whether or not Dolby vs HDR10 would be more like 4K vs 1080p on smaller TVs. Really, can't tell a difference like I can between SDR vs HDR, and SD vs HD. From my current experience I like the progress of technology, but at this moment in time, I could have waited a few more years before upgrading seeing that I don't have a lot of new content, and the standards are still becoming more widespread.
I don't do professional calibrations like the man here, however, I have a degree in broadcast. However most of my experience is from the very beginning of the HD transition so I'm really just catching up with the new standards.
Thanks Bro your very good and Your reviews are very Helpful... You Mentioned About USING GOOD HDMI CABLE .. CAN YOU SUGGEST which CABLE TO USE TO GET PROPER OUTPUT IN 4K HDR AND DOLBY VISION which will Support eARC And New HDMI 2.1 Version .
Yes, I would like to know also. Hopefully he gives you a response.
Yeep
Incredible video! Thank you!
So is it worth it getting Apple TV 4k if your TV only supports hdr10. Seeing as Dolby vision content downscaled to hdr 10 results in a dark and muddy result. What do you guys think?. Hope apple fixes this. Great video Vincent!
I’m considering just using my TVs native Netflix app for HDR shows. Apple TV is underwhelming. For HDR 10 only sets. What a shame.
DV is muddy and dark...
Good comparison
I have a Samsung mu8000 I don't like the quality of the video I'm getting from the apple 4k. Seems to get better results you need to get an OLED tv.
Thank you Vincent !
CAN YOU GO THROUGH THE COMPLETE PICTURE SETTINGS SLOWLY STEP BY STEP
.. SO THT WE CAN CONFIGURE ACCORDINGLY
Please do an analysis of the Netflix 4k Dolby Vision/HDR shows quality.
Do I need new or expensive HDMI cables to get have Dolby vision work properly ?
Depends on what you have now. It has the option to check your hdmi cable in video settings. And, depending on the length you need can be more expensive. In general, for a 6ft you find it on amazon or Walmart for less than $10
If the source material is in Dolby Vision, is it best to switch off "Active HDR" (Dynamic Contrast: Low) on the LG B7 OLED?
Yes, switch it off for Dolby Vision.
HDTVTest Thanks!
When you did this review you should have had a whole black screen of behind you to show really how to do it let's light.
What did you mean by premium certified cable ??
Leandrew Rowsey go to monoprice.com and look for cables that say they are certifed. They are quality cables and very cheap .
What hdmi cable would you recommend to get with the Apple TV 4K?
a high speed HDMI 18GBs 2ft or 3ft ! dont use cheep HDMI or long ones
Anything higher 18gps I use 27gbs
Belkin Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable. It's currently the only Dolby Vision certified cable for Apple tv 4k.
Will that HDMI cable also be practical for the OPPO UDP-203?
Yes. www.belkin.com/us/p/P-AV10175/
Read the Q&A.
Do I need to turn Dynamic Contrast on when displaying Dolby Vision??
No.
Looking at the Mad Max scene @10:52 the 4K HDR looks way darker than the Dolby Vision. I wonder if this is mainly due to LG OLED tone-mapping approach (preserve highlights at all costs)...would love to see how a Panasonic or Sony OLED handled the same scene with HDR 10 only.
Yea but look at when he compares 4ktv with the disc. Things switch. Either its his camera or not the exact frame
The 1st gen Apple TV 4k had horrible raised blacks, very obvious when viweing on OLED. How can this be recommended?
I feel like it’s less the conversion that makes the differences but more the limitations of HDR10. Also, I think it’s impressive that some of the videos in a 30mbps bitrate with h.265 meaning it’s a near equivalent of 60mbps in h.264 yet UHD Blu-ray is everywhere from has a limit around 80 mbps. I think the Apple TV is a Blu-ray killer.
So long as your tv is Dolby vision. For hdr10 only TVs like Sony 900e blu rays players are the Apple TV killer!
great explanation Vincent. I guess I have to just wait for dolby vision to be supported on my Sony 930E. I watched IT in dolby vision but it converts the movie to HDR 10 and now I understand why the movie can seem a bit darker and not highlighting some details especially in dark scenes. I think Apple TV 4k is best set to 4k SDR for anyone not having a dolby vision capable display or you will run into the problem Vincent just explained in the video, but only if the movie file is in dolby vision. I currently keep the output to display 4k SDR so my menus look bright then I select to match frame and content to ON this way its a win win because your set will switch to the proper HDR mode, but ill sacrifice detail with dolby vision movies in iTunes because my tv is not yet dolby vision capable.
Henry Sermeno I’m in a similar boat. But I have the 900e so it’s not updating to Dolby vision. I wonder how it works with Netflix. Maybe it’s just better to watch Netflix in the native Sony android app. I wonder if that delivers native hdr10 file. I fee like even HDR Netflix on AppleTV is a source Dolby vision file that is poorly converted for hdr10
Dolby vision @what hz on the right ???
60Hz
HDTVTest so my 2016 oled only gives 30hz Dolby vision for Apple TV do you think they can do a update to 60hz
What’s the best calibration for the C6p Vincent for hdr mode
No, sorry.
Really good that was a good review okay bye
This would be even more powerful it, instead of comparing UHD disc meta data with AppleTV HDR10 meta data, you compared Apple TV DV meta data with the meta data Apple assigns to that same content when converting it to HDR10.
One might surmise that the UHD disk could be authored differently from the DV file that Apple is using.
Good morning from NYC
Good morning.
Great video
does the samsung ks8500 series support dolby vision
No.
It would be nice if he had also compared an SDR TV.
So if I want to watch a film that only supports HDR 10 do i switch the settings to HDR 10 or leave it currently on 4K Dolby vision?? Kind regards
Keep it in Dolby
Why doesn’t Apple send the hdr10 base layer?
The file in the central server is currently Dolby Vision only.
HDTVTest Never heard of a file being Dolby vision only .
Please DO A COMPARISON FOR LATEST HDMI CABLES AND WHERE TO GET IT FROM ????
Nice presentation! Still, what I do not understand, is that wherefrom did the statement "that this all happens inside aTV (and not inside LG)", come from???
What I read from aTV spec (only DV profile 5) and DV level specs, I conclude (maybe falsely, would love to learn better), that a DV L5 movie needs to have HDR10 base layer.
In HDR, so many things are handled inside the display, that I would as easily say - the artefacts show how LG managed to do its tonemapping. DV needs to go via validation process with Dolby Labs, but HDR10 is at the mercy of every vendor.
PS The MaxCLL/MaxFALL values from Panasonic bluray player seem to be really off the charts (10000/4000). The aTV outputs of 1000/400 tend to be the standard values seen on most HDR graded things.
White clipping beyong 1k nit mark is also known as a strategy for many tonemappers in today's HDR panels, only Samsung has been reported to do a roll-off. Sonys, for example, are known to clip anything beyond it's capabilities.
Even though the picture differences shown in that video are undeniable, the mere difference in MaxCLL and MaxFALL values causes the tonemapping engine inside the display to provide different response.
Also, the show with aTV OSD causing shift in highlights does not prove anything. This menu lowers always the luminance of the rest of aTV UI (meaning darkens the picture), what in that test caused specular highlights to move below LG's clipping/knee level. That's how I explain it.
aTV Spec: www.apple.com/lae/apple-tv-4k/specs/
DV Profiles and Levels: www.dolby.com/us/en/technologies/dolby-vision/dolby-vision-profiles-levels-v1-2-9-170601.pdf
The captured metadata was from the Apple TV 4K box, independent of the LG TV, hence the statement.
Re OSD restoring clipped specular highlight, we initially thought so too, but lowering the Contrast value on the LG OLED doesn't even restore the lost specular highlight to anywhere close to the same level with UI overlaid.
> The captured metadata was from the Apple TV 4K box, independent of the LG TV, hence the statement.
This still does not prove that the stream was intrinsically modified inside aTV. For that. we'd need to see the incoming stream from the itunes store streaming server. If anyone has ideas, how to capture, I'd be delighted to know.
> Re OSD restoring clipped specular highlight, we initially thought so too, but lowering the Contrast value on
> the LG OLED doesn't even restore the lost specular highlight to anywhere close to the same level with UI
> overlaid.
Due to the absolute nature of PQ EOTF, just subtracting from numerical value of a pixel (which must be happening when UI dims the picture, right?) will also move it to a lower spot on the PQ (or gamma) curve, producing reduced luminance of said pixels on screen as well, according to the EOTF. I am not sure if changing the contrast value does the same or even has the same reach in change.
At the end of the day, this whole HDR signal processing is so complex, having diverse implementations and not well understood in the public yet, that I wish someone who's been actively developing these display management systems, would explain it here.
VINCENT Please let Us Know WHICH HDMI CABLE ARE YOU USING ????
paul Danny This doesn't matter . As long as your cable has enough bandwidth . Monoprice certified HDMI 2.0 cables will be fine.
Thanks Vincent ..I Just Saw that Apple Is Selling Online Ultra HDMI CABLE claming Its HDMI 2.1 and tht it has eARC WITH 48G SPEED .. is it True ??
paul Danny That’s the same I am wondering too. It doesn’t make much sense as neither any tv nor the AppleTV is HDMI 2.1. If this is true anyway then maybe, just maybe, the AppleTV and even TV’s can be firmware upgraded to eARC and maybe even HDMI 2.1. Any thoughts on that Vincent? I bought the cable out of curiosity and it works fine. Bit pricey and my other HDMI cables work fine too (just mid-priced HDMI 2.0 high speed cables).
Wow!
What a great review! Thank you. I found it very helpful.
I have just subscribed, and I shall definitely be checking out this site, especially with my dilemma of getting either or both a good 27-36" HD monitor (with occasional game use) plus an add-on TV tuner/recorder - or a 27-36 "4k TV suitable for computer work (with occasional game use).
Please comment on some of the posts. I think its not just me that would be interested in your comments.
Thanks again!
Pete
Love your videos Vincent. Big fan of your opinions and reviews. I couldnt sworn you said 'Mat Max' lol
My Sony 900f playing Netflix Dolby Vision on some shows like Ozark are very very dark almost unwatchable
Good observation Mr Vincent - Thumbs Up
Very interesting again Vincent. And a very peculiar decision how to handle HDR10 when a Dolby Vision is the source file. The only way to really solve this I guess is to have two different source files on the server? One HDR10 and one Dolby Vision? I can understand that from a storage point of view it’s not desirable but all this artificial scaling isn’t doing much good. Although those few 100 extra TB shouldn’t be too problematic for a company as Apple. I’ve send your finding to the Apple team. Especially to just throw in fixed meta data values is totally unacceptable. At least that information should be applied somehow in the movie. Not sure how they’ll do that but this is silly.
Walter van Bergen Dolby vision is metadata , you do not need two files . The file has HDR10 as the base and then the Dolby vision metadata is applied over it . This is why if you put a Dolby vision disc in a non Dolby vision campatible player it will play as hdr10 , it will just play the base layer and not apply the Dolby vision metadata. I am unsure why apple chooses to handle it the way they do.
ericimi exactly, this is how it works on a disc with an HDR10 base layer and an extra Dolby Vision layer with the respective metadata. But this is not how the AppleTV seems to work. The file itself is already in full Dolby Vision and the HDR10 is somehow a downgraded version of the Dolby Vision version. And the bad thing seems to be that the static metadata used for the HDR10 version is the same for every movie and not specific for the movie itself. That’s quite bad in my opinion. It destroys the whole idea of providing the necessary data to display the right HDR as intended by the director.
Walter van Bergen You are correct. seems like a dumb way of doing things considering that not many TV's have Dolby vision in comparison with ones that have only HDR10. I assume that this method they chose was in collaboration with Dolby and Dolby preferred it this way to make there version look superior and worth it . I had a B7 oled and now a Sony x930e and I watched transformers disc in Dolby vision on the B7 then in HDR10 on the 930e and the difference were minimal . In fact it looked better on the 930e because it was tested at 1300-1500 nits and it made it look spectacular. Dolby vision is better but how much better is the question. The Sony TV will get Dolby vision update by the end of the year though .
Walter van Bergen correct!! And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! I tested this with both “Resident Evil” as well as “Lights Out”. BOTH are labeled Dolby Vision. I took it out and played it thru “HDR” and pictures on both movies suffered greatly. Blacks looked too cartoonish, where your friends are constantly asking why do the blacks look like that? I prefer to keep it on Dolby and just buy HDR movies until the Full update comes around in the Spring.
Walter van Bergen did Apple ever get back to you?
I luv these videos just got my Apple 4K tv today finally. I’m a quality guy that’s why I’m going with the A9G for best picture quality possible. Can’t wait for 12 bit mapping maybe when 8K is more commercial🤷♂️
Damn dolby vision is killing it
Dolby Vision problem on C9:
With Apple TV 4K Dolby vision has elevated blacks and the black bars look gray. This is not the case on normal hdr or sdr. How to fix this? See attached video: th-cam.com/video/cvdpoqChjL4/w-d-xo.html
