I ’ve been thinking of upgrading our 2017 LG 4 K C7OLED TVfor a while now . Not that there ’s anything faulty with it . It still perform as well as the 24-hour interval I buy it . But I ’m ready for something bountiful and brighter .

As someone who is perfectly sold on the benefits of organic light-emitting diode , I ’ve been primarily count at manakin from LG , Sony , and Samsung . These brands dominate the leaning of thebest OLED television . In theory , it would n’t weigh which one I chose — there are no losers in this category .

Still , I lean to get a little FOMO when it comes to big new tech leverage . I do n’t make them often , so I want to ensure I ’m buying the best that I can get . And in looking at all of the spec that I care about , Samsung ’s ongoinglack of Dolby Vision supporthas been a sticking point for me .

Should it be ? After all , there ’s a far bigger remainder between standard dynamic range and HDR10 than there is between HDR10 and Dolby Vision . In fact , Caleb Denison , Digital Trends ’ nonmigratory television set expert , has argue thatDolby Vision ’s improvement over HDR10 is n’t always promptly apparent . To really appreciate dynamical HDR formats like Dolby Vision ( and Samsung ’s preferred open - source choice , HDR10 + ) , you need to watch material with “ specially bright or especially dark scenes , ” Denison says , “ where subtle variations in lustrous highlights and/or vestige detail can make or weaken a picture . ”

The matter is , my current LG OLED TVdoeshave Dolby Vision , and I think I can see and appreciate the improvements when watching Dolby Vision capacity . Since most of the dynamical HDR subject on streaming service has historically been limited to Dolby Vision , the theme of bribe a TV that I ’m likely to own for the next 8 - 10 years without this lineament just feel ill-timed .

Or at least , it did .

With one deceivingly simple declaration , Netflix has changed my intellect . Its decision toroll out support for HDR10+as its second supported dynamic HDR format wo n’t count to anyone who already has a Dolby Vision TV , but for Samsung owners ( or potential Samsung buyer like me ) , it ’s immense . Netflix is so prominent and influential in the streaming worldly concern , its adoption of HDR10 + could eventually charge the dynamical HDR acting field , at least as far as entree to content goes . Of the major streaming platforms , it was the only one that remained an HDR10 + holdout . Now that Rubicon has been crossed , my FOMO has been importantly reduced .

The truth is , I may still purchase my next OLED TV from LG or Sony or perhaps even Panasonic . But if I do , it wo n’t be out of fright that only these company can offer up me the best HDR look at experience .
