The new Dolby Vision 2 HDR standard is probably going to be controversial

The article discusses the upcoming Dolby Vision 2 HDR (High Dynamic Range) standard, which aims to address two significant issues in modern TV viewing: the proliferation of HDR formats and the problem of content being too bright. Dolby Vision 2 proposes a new dynamic HDR format that can adjust brightness and contrast on a scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame basis. This could help mitigate the issue of content being too bright, which can be uncomfortable for viewers. However, the article suggests that the new standard may be controversial. Dolby Vision 2 would likely require additional hardware and processing power, potentially leading to increased costs for consumers. Additionally, the article raises concerns about the potential for further fragmentation of the HDR ecosystem, as Dolby Vision 2 could introduce yet another format that TV manufacturers and content providers would need to support. The article concludes by highlighting the need for a more unified and standardized approach to HDR to ensure a seamless viewing experience for consumers.
