Dolby Vision 2 Arrives on Hisense TVs
Dolby Vision 2, a new dynamic HDR format, has been released and will first appear on specific 2026 Hisense TV models. These include the UX, UR9, UR8, and U7 series, with availability expected by the end of September 2026. TCL and Philips are also expected to add support for Dolby Vision 2 to select TVs at a later date.
Enhanced Image Engine and Metadata
Dolby Vision 2 features a more powerful image engine and expanded metadata compared to its predecessor, Dolby Vision. This update includes bidirectional tone mapping, which aims to better utilize the brightness capabilities of modern televisions. The format is designed to optimize content on a scene-by-scene basis.
Key New Features
The new format introduces several features to improve picture quality. Content Intelligence uses AI and embedded metadata to dynamically adjust the picture for each scene. Light Sense 2 continually optimizes picture quality based on ambient lighting conditions. Additionally, Authentic Motion provides cinematic motion control.
Dolby Vision 2 Tiers
Dolby Vision 2 is available in two tiers: Dolby Vision 2 Max and a standard Dolby Vision 2. The Max level, which will be on the initial group of Hisense TVs, includes Authentic Motion, an updated version of the ambient light sensor adjustment found in Dolby Vision IQ, and pro settings for fine-tuning tone mapping. The base level is intended for less expensive TVs that may not have ambient light sensors or the motion processing required for Authentic Motion.
