Dolby Vision 2 Lands on 2026 Hisense TVs with Dual-Tier HDR and Motion Features

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). 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).

Xbox Game Pass streams to Hisense VIDAA TVs without a console

Microsoft is expanding Xbox to Hisense TVs running VIDAA OS, letting Game Pass subscribers stream games directly to the TV without a console. The Xbox app is rolling out to supported 2024–2026 VIDAA TVs; you’ll need any non–PC Game Pass tier (Essential $10, Premium $15, Ultimate $23), an internet connection, and an Xbox controller (or Bluetooth alternative). Ultimate offers the most titles (over 500) and launch-day titles. The service is streaming-based, so a solid internet connection is required, and Insiders can test streaming owned games for free. If the app hasn’t appeared yet, update your TV firmware and check the Games section on the Home screen to install it; Microsoft says it will continue rolling out to more VIDAA TVs.
