TVs with Dolby Vision: which brands and models support it

Dolby Vision is the most widely used of the “dynamic” HDR formats, and whether a TV supports it is a yes-or-no question with a brand-shaped answer. We checked every current TV line in our catalogue against its manufacturer’s spec sheet.

Which current TVs support Dolby Vision

Current TVs without Dolby Vision

Every line without Dolby Vision is a Samsung. That’s a long-standing company decision, not a budget cut: Samsung co-developed HDR10+ and puts it on everything instead.

What Dolby Vision actually does

All HDR TVs support HDR10, the baseline format: one set of brightness information (metadata) for the whole film. The problem is that films are mastered on displays far brighter than most TVs, so each TV has to squeeze the picture into what it can show, and with one setting for the whole film it can’t treat a dark cave scene differently from a sunlit beach.

Dolby Vision and HDR10+ add dynamic metadata: instructions per scene or per frame, so the TV knows how to map each part of the film to its own capabilities. In practice that means fewer crushed shadows in dark scenes and fewer blown-out highlights in bright ones, especially on TVs that can’t get very bright.

Two related terms you’ll see on spec sheets:

• Dolby Vision IQ uses the TV’s light sensor to adjust the Dolby Vision picture to your room’s lighting. Hisense’s and TCL’s spec sheets list it; LG’s OLEDs support it too.
• Dolby Vision gaming lets an Xbox Series X|S send games in Dolby Vision. The PS5 doesn’t support it.

Dolby has also announced Dolby Vision 2, a newer version aimed at brighter TVs; Hisense was among the first brands to show it, at CES 2026. Existing Dolby Vision content keeps working on Dolby Vision TVs.

Where you’ll actually see Dolby Vision

• Streaming: Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Max and others stream many titles in Dolby Vision (usually on their top-tier plans). Prime Video uses HDR10+ for much of its own content.
• Discs: many 4K UHD Blu-rays include Dolby Vision; your player has to support it too.
• Streaming devices: if you use an external box or stick, it has to support Dolby Vision as well (Apple TV 4K and recent Fire TV and Chromecast/Google TV devices do; check yours).
• Broadcast and cable: almost never; they use HLG or SDR.

On a TV without Dolby Vision, a Dolby Vision title doesn’t fail: streaming services and discs carry an HDR10 version, which the TV plays instead.

Should you avoid a TV without Dolby Vision?

Not automatically. What decides HDR picture quality is the TV’s brightness, contrast and processing; the format is the instructions, not the hardware. A Samsung S90H OLED with HDR10+ will look better on most Dolby Vision films than a dim budget LCD with Dolby Vision.

But since Dolby Vision costs you nothing extra on most brands, and so much streaming content uses it, it’s a sensible tie-breaker:

• If you mostly stream Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+ or Max, prefer a Dolby Vision TV: LG, Sony, TCL or Hisense.
• If you mostly watch Prime Video, HDR10+ matters as much: Samsung, Hisense and TCL support it; Hisense and TCL support both.
• If you game on Xbox, Dolby Vision gaming is a small bonus on TVs that support it, such as LG’s OLEDs and Hisense’s U7 and U8.

Checking a specific model

Look for “Dolby Vision” under HDR in the manufacturer’s spec sheet, not just on the box. Our gaming TV and bright room guides show each line’s HDR formats alongside the other specs that matter.
