Dolby Laboratories teams up with Vizio to bring Dolby Vision technology to the consumer market-- specifically through the Vizio Reference Series 65- and 12-inch UHD Full-Array LED Smart TVs.
Dolby Vision covers multiple technologies used by TVs, from media mastering and playback to the actual displays. Thus it expands colour palettes, enhances dynamic range and increases contrast ratios by taking control of individual pixels within the displays. Or so Dolby claims, at any rate.
However, one has to keep in mind very little content actually takes advantage of the technology-- so far only Warner Bros. offers compatible releases and movies (including Edge of Tomorrow, Into the Storm, The Lego Movie, Man of Steel, Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) via the VUDU streaming service.
