[tp4tissue]

Tp4 knows y'all not pr0z.. 

But letr'rip  ,  Tell Tp4 in your own words, without googling  What do YOU THINK , Dolby Vision is.

I don't know why people enjoy the look of HDR anyway it looks crushed out and unnatural

Alternative to HDR10 for Ultra HD releases that come with it, though in all such releases HDR10 is simultaneously available to use instead since not everything supports DV. Some debate whether it's a significant (or even noticeable) improvement.

Is tp here to gauge how many care about UHD

It is like Ray-Ban vision except instead of wrapping sunglasses around your head, I wrap a tv around it.

I was surprised they didn't make ray-ban branded google glass.

I'll guess it's a marketing gimmick, which is to say it has no real benefit over the non-dolby version it must be compatible with for a standard player to play both (surely no-one is stupid enough to pay for two versions of their release or to exclude some buyers by releasing a version that doesn't work everywhere)  That means it's basically a tax for a shiny sticker, assuming it's even connected to a physical media.

This is based on pure logic, I've never watched a blu ray let alone UHD

Tp4 never found his VCRs, they're lost in the basement.

vcrs can be found for cheap, so if you really need one to test on your shinny new tvs i think you can go on craigslist/ebay, although if you are talking HD VCR then maybe not that easy (if i remember right the 1st hd format was digital data on a vhs tape) and same as SO here, never had UHD or bluray and so only ever heard of Dolby Vision, although i think i may have seen it on a gpu box... not 100% sure though

Thought Dolby Vision was the color reproduction on how the film's director intended the film to be watched/viewed.

That's part of it, they've got the Dolby-Vision Workflow for creators.  And just Dolby-Vision products for the viewers.

The product is watered down vs the maker side so it'd fit on the disc. Their workflow is 16bit/12bit, but 4 Terabyte movies, need to be compressed down to fit on 50-100GB discs.

Very on point, ALOT of it is just gimmick, for example movies that advertise DolbyVision but only has what's known as Minimum Enhancement Layer (MEL). All that is, is basically a glorified text file which specifies the brightness changes per scene, then the TV reads the text file, and maps the colors, WHICH it would've done even without that data. < This accounts for the majority of Streaming Dolby Vision stickering>

It's an addon more than alternative. When DV is activated, assuming it's a Full Enhancement Layer,  It reads a seperate 1080p file parity stream on the disc. They take that data and compute an image that is technically above the bit-depth of the base 10-bit layer. 95-98% of the image still resides in the Base layer though. The FEL layer is tiny in comparison, it is usually used to focus on extremely bright highlight detail that requires more bitdepth.

With Dolby Vision, the TV is just a picture frame and the actors stand behind it and act out the TV show you're watching for ultimate realism.
