Samsung rolls out HDR10+ Advanced on Amazon Prime Video for 2026 Samsung TVs, adding brightness upscaling, AI-driven tone mapping and adaptive motion smoothing; it's the first home streaming debut of the next-gen HDR format ahead of Dolby Vision 2, though content is currently limited to Prime Video with no UHD Blu-ray support announced and Filmmaker Mode on Samsung TV is not supported.
Dolby Vision 2 is rolling out to select 2026 Hisense TVs (UX, UR9, UR8, U7) via firmware, introducing Content Intelligence that uses embedded metadata to optimize each scene, plus Light Sense 2 for ambient lighting and Authentic Motion for cinematic motion; an intensity slider and DV2 Max features are supported on these models, with partners like Peacock, Canal+ and iQIYI; broader rollout expected. Note: Content Intelligence uses metadata, not AI.
Dolby Vision 2 is rolling out starting with 2026 Hisense models (UX, UR9, UR8, U7) with TCL and Philips adding support later; it introduces two tiers (Max and standard), adds features like Authentic Motion, local tone mapping, and brightness/intensity controls, and requires new hardware (MediaTek Pentonic 800).
