Dolby The best TVs of 2025. Highlights include hope for better highlights, as well as easier playback and other improvements.
But rest assured – your TV will not turn dark. This is not an alternative format. Actually, if your TV is now compatible with Dolby Vision, you shouldn’t notice any changes. The DV2 brings some behind-the-scenes upgrades in production, as well as new TVs that will come with the Dolby Vision 2 brand. These updates can be very interesting, as I will explain below.
Since this has just been announced, we only have basic information, but we will talk about this more when we start using a DV2-compatible TV.
Dolby Vision 2
At the heart of the DV2 is a “redesign, even more powerful image engine.” What this means is not entirely clear, but the idea seems to be to take advantage of a brighter, more capable TV since Dolby Vision was first launched. DV2 seems to be aiming at taking advantage of new performances Tone Mappingamong other improvements. Helping creatives better utilize the capabilities of modern TVs is also part of the behind-the-scenes upgrade.
The biggest change to DV2 is “content intelligence”, which “introduces new tools that better bridge creative suites to the audience’s living room.” Just like you’re seeing at home, the creative team behind the show or movie you’re watching wants you to see closer. Broadly speaking, this aspect is to help HDR content look better across various screens and viewing environments. There are three aspects to this. Here is how Dolby describes them:
Perfect black is fun. In my reviews, I often find that the display with poor HDR performance actually looks brighter and turns the projector off better, especially the projector. How precision black works remains to be seen, but hopefully it’s more than just auto-tuning of brightness. I think Dolby’s use of the words “clear” and “clear” is more in the vernacular sense, and has nothing to do with detail or clarity.
In short, this means that when there is a lot of ambient light in the room and dim the image when it is not available, it means lighting up the image. Many monitors already do this automatically, so it makes sense that Dolby hopes to regain control on behalf of the creators. Its working status in practice remains to be seen.
Finally, there is Sports and gaming optimization, Designed to “meet the unique needs of live sports and gaming.” Part of it includes what I think is the most interesting and possibly controversial aspect of DV2: Real Sports.
“Real Movement”
One of the things I despise the most about new TVs and projectors is smooth motion, also known as Soap Opera Effect. “Hate” doesn’t even cover it – I’m not alone. It’s a hatred of technology, and honestly, I can’t understand why anyone would like it. But people do that, then what do I know? Now, with the help of DV2’s new real-life sports capabilities, Dolby goes beyond HDR:
-
Real movement Known as the world’s first creatively driven motion control tool, it aims to make the scene more cinematic without unnecessary Qudders and adjust by shooting.
I reached out to Dolby to clarify this as it brought the hair on the back of my neck to stand up. The company’s response: “[Authentic Motion allows a creative] To adjust the number of disconnections for a particular shot or scene, they feel better matched with what they are trying to convey. It is driven by artist intentions and can/only be used on the shots they really need, only the amount they think they need. “This means the director will be able to choose the choice Add to If they think it is necessary, smooth the motion to a specific scene. I hope this also means that if the TV is already in use, they will disable it completely. We have to see how to implement it. To be clear, this is just one option in DV2 – which means that the director or creative has to enable it, and it’s important that you also need a DV2-compatible TV. So, put down the pitchfork (currently).
DV2 to 2 u
The Dolby Vision 2 comes in two flavors: the Dolby Vision 2 Max, targeting high-end TVs with “other quality features” (presumably including real sports), and the standard Dolby Vision 2 or “Vanilla”, which still includes content intelligence and a new image engine designed for mainstream TVs.
TL; DR (conveniently at the bottom): Dolby Vision 2 is on the way soon. It will go into new TVs, not affecting current TVs, and may lead to more Dolby visual content, as new creative tools make it easier to use.
HESENSE will be the first TV to offer DV2 in some upcoming Mini Leadership. Other companies may follow. Expect to see a bunch of announcements at CES 2026 in January.
