Hey all figured you might find this interesting!

Dolby announces Dolby Vision 2
At IFA 2025, Dolby Laboratories is introducing Dolby Vision 2, what it calls "a groundbreaking evolution of its industry-leading picture quality innovation." The second iteration has been updated to meet the capabilities of today's TV technology and the ever-expanding set of artist tools. Dolby Vision 2 includes a more powerful image engine, better optimization for your TV and features that go "beyond HDR."

For now only big words and nothing else. I don't really care about Dolby Vision or feature second ver. They can optimize for hardware to be able to use less resources, more colors beyond HDR hmm I don't have cat eyes to see that hehe.

Yeah a lot of big bold claims and then the AI references... We'll see where it goes!

Hey, thanks for sharing this news! It's so interesting to see Dolby pushing the boundaries again with Dolby Vision 2—even if it's just "talk" right now.

You make a great point: all the specs and color science in the world mean nothing if our eyes can't actually perceive the difference!
Maybe one day we'll all have built-in bionic cat's eyes... until then, here's hoping "better-optimizing your TV" really does mean smoother performance and longer panel life.

I agree with you—real performance trumps marketing. Still, it'll be interesting to see where this technology goes!

What do you all think? Will you upgrade for Dolby Vision 2?

It had better come with some serious game changing improvements. I've been more than happy with HDR-10, HLG and regular Dolby Vision. I'm picky about my picture and audio settings... I don't know how I feel about AI adjusting my set up preferences at will. If it happened to truly blow me away then yeah sure! Until then I will stay curiously skeptical

I totally get your feelings!
Of course, being picky about settings is perfectly acceptable!! There's nothing better than being able to fine-tune the picture and sound to your liking. The idea of AI taking over everything also makes me raise my eyebrows.

Hopefully, Dolby Vision 2 does arrive and proves worth the price of admission—until then, I'm happy to share your skepticism.
