It\u2019s one of a handful of formats through which you can experience brighter, more colorful, and punchier images that take advantage of the latest display <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>.<br \/>\nHDR is now a standard feature on most\u00a0new TVs, with HDR10 being the dominant \u201cbaseline\u201d format. There are many benefits to HDR video: a wider color gamut, better shadow detail, 10-bit color, and eye-catching highlights that take advantage of the higher peak brightness on the latest compatible displays.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-730287 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/dolby_vision_650_borderless.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Dolby Vision logo\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-credittext=\"Dolby\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Dolby<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Metadata included in the HDR container tells the TV how to render an image, including how bright to get.\u00a0With HDR10, peak brightness is defined as a static maximum value for the entire presentation. Dolby Vision improves on this with dynamic metadata, defining peak brightness on a per-frame or per-scene basis. This gives content creators greater control over the image displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>Dolby Vision also has other benefits, including a maximum peak brightness of 4000 nits (as opposed to 1000 nits in the HDR10 container), as well as being compatible with 12-bit video sources. At present, no consumer displays can reach 4000 nits or display true 12-bit content, so the format is ready for the next generation of TV technology when they arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Dolby aims to bring the advantages of its HDR format to games through Dolby Vision for games. For gamers, there\u2019s more to it than an expanded dynamic range and more colors on screen. Dolby Vision for games also aims to solve the ongoing problem of HDR calibration for games.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-730288 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/dolby_vision_tech_press.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Dolby Vision Infographic\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Dolby<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dolby.com\/gaming\/\">Dolby Vision for games website<\/a> the company promises that gamers can \u201csay goodbye to adjustment sliders\u201d because \u201cgames automatically map to your Dolby Vision display as you play, so you\u2019re always seeing the full picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HDR is something that gamers have struggled with since there is little standardization between titles. The HDR Gaming Interest Group (HGIG) formed for this very reason, but few games support the tailor-made\u00a0HGIG mode. Those that do still require calibration and a TV that supports HGIG.<\/p>\n<p>Simplified calibration is possible because Dolby acts as a middle-man, helping ensure that the image displayed on the screen is an accurate portrayal of the creator\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need_to_Enjoy_Dolby_Vision_for_Games\"><\/span>What You Need to Enjoy Dolby Vision for Games<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dolby Vision for games is, at the time of writing in May 2021, in still the beta phase of testing on the Xbox platform.

Sony has yet to announce Dolby Vision for games support on the PlayStation 5. Dolby Vision could in theory land on Sony\u2019s platform with a software update, but there are no plans for it.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-730200 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/xbox_series_x_s_borderless.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"387\" data-credittext=\"Xbox\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Xbox<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To enjoy Dolby Vision for games you\u2019ll need a Series X or S console and a TV or monitor that supports Dolby Vision. Microsoft has yet to announce support for the format coming to Windows, so PC gamers will have to make do with HDR10 and HGIG for now.<\/p>\n<p>Teething issues have appeared as Dolby Vision for games begins to roll out. While the format is theoretically compatible with HDMI 2.1 compliant displays in full 4K resolution at 120Hz, many models (including the latest LG OLEDs) only support 4K at 60Hz right now. Vincent Teoh of HDTVTest <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TdqCY9PEmKk\">reports<\/a> that LG is working on a patch for the company\u2019s newer TV models as of May 2021, like the C1 and G1.\u00a0Hopefully, LG will also bring that update to older models.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Xbox Says LG C1 &amp; CX OLED Don&#039;t Support 4K@120Hz Dolby Vision Gaming, But Fix is Coming\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TdqCY9PEmKk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a>Tek chipset used in\u00a0some Dolby Vision-capable TVs (including Sony\u2019s 2020 and 2021 models), 120Hz gaming at 4K resolution won\u2019t be possible on some models where enabling Dolby Vision disables 120Hz support. If you\u2019re affected, you can still play games at 4K resolution with 120Hz enabled using HDR10.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Samsung TV owners won\u2019t be able to use Dolby Vision for gaming because the South Korean tech giant doesn\u2019t support the format on any of their displays.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Out_If_Your_TV_is_Compatible_with_Dolby_Vision\"><\/span>Find Out If Your TV is Compatible with Dolby Vision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can check whether your TV is compatible with Dolby Vision for gaming using the Xbox preferences. Turn on your console and press the Xbox button to reveal the guide. Use the bumper buttons (LB and RB) to tab across to the \u201cProfile &amp; system\u201d tab. Scroll down and select Settings followed by \u201cTV &amp; display options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next, select \u201c4K TV details\u201d and the Xbox will report what modes are supported by your TV. If you have green ticks across the board, you might as well enable 120Hz right away. Back out of the menu then select \u201cRefresh Rate\u201d and set it to \u201c120Hz\u201d if you haven\u2019t already done so.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Games_Support_Dolby_Vision\"><\/span>Which Games Support Dolby Vision?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.xbox.com%2Fen-US%2Fhelp%2Faccount-profile%2Fmanage-account%2Fxbox-insider-program\">Xbox Insiders<\/a> are still figuring out Dolby Vision, some have noted that the technology can be applied system-wide to all games as a pass-through container for HDR titles. It\u2019s not clear whether this provides an improvement over simply using HDR10 with Microsoft\u2019s Auto-HDR booster.<\/p>\n<p>For the best results, games will need to be optimized for Dolby Vision.

As many game boxes and digital store descriptions now include markers for HDR10 and Dolby Atmos support, expect to see the Dolby Vision featured on boxes and marketplace listings before long.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that just because you\u2019ve enabled 120Hz support on the at Xbox system level, that doesn\u2019t mean all games will use it by default. Many games that support 120Hz modes have a toggle under the game settings. Often this setting is titled \u201cframe rate\u201d or \u201cperformance\u201d mode since it prioritizes smooth gameplay over visual splendor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Enable 120 Hz on Xbox Series X and S<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Future_of_HDR_Gaming\"><\/span>The Future of HDR Gaming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While HDR support came to last-generation consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the implementation left a lot to be desired.
