Prime Video makes 4K pay-to-play with new Ultra tier

Amazon Prime Video is restructuring its plans: basic Prime Video will be capped at 1080p, while 4K/UHD requires the new Ultra tier at $4.99 more per month. Ultra adds more offline downloads (up to 100), Dolby Atmos audio and Dolby Vision, and more concurrent streams (up to five). Basic members will gain Dolby Vision support and increase from three to four concurrent streams; true 4K remains bandwidth- or device-dependent for many users.

"Samsung's Compact OLED TV Impresses Despite Dolby Vision HDR Absence"

Samsung is introducing its first OLED TVs smaller than 55 inches, the 42-inch and 48-inch Samsung S90D models, which lack Dolby Vision HDR. Despite this, the 48-inch S90D impresses with bright and rich images, capable handling of challenging HDR scenes, impressive sound, and vibrant colors. The lack of Dolby Vision doesn't seem to be an issue due to the TV's smart tone mapping. It also features a 144Hz screen, 4K 120Hz or 144Hz gaming support, and other gaming-friendly features. Pricing is yet to be announced, but the TV is expected to be a strong contender in the 48-inch TV market.

Amazon Prime Video Faces Backlash Over Loss of Dolby Vision and Atmos in Free Tier

Amazon Prime Video's free tier has lost Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos surround sound capabilities, with the company confirming that this is a deliberate move to push users towards the ad-free paid option.

Amazon Prime Video Faces Backlash Over Dolby Vision and Atmos Paid Upgrades

Amazon Prime Video has removed access to Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos from its free streaming tier, making the formats exclusive to those who opt-in to the $3 per month ad-free premium subscription. Free subscribers are now only getting Dolby Digital 5.1 for content labeled as Dolby Atmos, and titles previously available in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are now only accessible to ad-free account holders. The change has not been officially communicated, and it's speculated that Dolby's licensing fees may have played a role.

Amazon Prime Video Faces Backlash Over Removal of Dolby Vision and Atmos Support

Amazon Prime Video has removed Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos surround sound from its standard subscription, requiring an additional $2.99 per month to access these features.

This decision has sparked comparisons to other streaming services' pricing models, with some users facing an 18-28% price increase to access the full fidelity experience on Prime Video.
