Netflix supports Dolby Vision for select titles, but to watch in DV you must have a Premium plan, a DV-enabled display and compatible devices, an HDCP 2.2–compliant HDMI cable, at least 15 Mbps internet, and the Netflix app settings set to High with HDR enabled; otherwise you’ll see standard streaming even if the title bears a Dolby Vision logo.

Older Dolby Vision TVs can’t adopt the new features, while content must be encoded with Dolby Vision 2 metadata. HDR10+ Advanced is a rival, and rollout is underway with broader adoption expected after studios adopt the metadata (targeting August–September for updates).
