After being announced last September, Dolby Vision 2 is rolling out to TVs, starting with the 2026 Hisense UX, UR9, UR8, and U7. TCL and Philips will be adding Dolby Vision 2 support to select TVs later this year.
Dolby Vision 2 is a new dynamic HDR format with a more powerful image engine and expanded metadata compared to its predecessor, Dolby Vision, which came out over a decade ago. It has two tiers: Dolby Vision 2 Max, which will be on this first group of Hisense TVs, and a standard-level Dolby Vision 2.
The Max level includes a motion smoothing feature (Authentic Motion), an updated version of the ambient light sensor adjustment currently found in Dolby Vision IQ, and some pro settings for fine-tuning tone mapping. Max is for higher-end models, while the base level is intended for less expensive, mainstream TVs that don’t have ambient light sensors or the motion processing necessary to drive Authentic Motion. Bidirectional tone mapping, local tone mapping, and intensity slider are all included with the base version of Dolby Vision 2, and will work on existing Dolby Vision content.
