Just to note, there is an "HDR Format" war happening. (Destiny)

Seeing lots of chatter about resolution, eye can see it, effect on games and what not. All fun and dandy. I would like to interject in this kerfuffle that right now there are competing standards for HDR, with the main two right now being HDR10/10+ or Dolby Vision. How does that effect games and what not? I have NO idea. Yet I wanted to throw that into the mix all the same.

Carry on lads and ladys!

Not really competing standards. HDR 10 is a subset (lesser standard of Dolby Vision) If a device can process Dolby Vision, it can process HDR10. The reverse may not be true.

The problem lies in panel technology. LCD of any type can't meet the full standard of Dolby Vision. OLED is more capable but must be in a dimly lit room. LCD has problems displaying the maximum range of brightness and darkness. OLED does better because pixels are truly not emitting any light when turned off.

The Dolby Vision standard is a better spec than current consumer TV tech can produce.
