The video compares Dolby Vision and HDR10 gaming on Xbox Series X consoles and LG C1 OLED TVs using games like Forza Horizon 4 and Outriders to showcase differences in picture quality, color vibrancy, and highlight detail retention. It highlights Dolby Vision's ability to retain specular highlight detail but notes issues with posterization in the background on LG C1 TVs. The discussion covers output specifications, peak brightness, and posterization in 4K 120Hz Dolby Vision gaming scenarios. The speaker emphasizes the benefits of Dolby Vision's color accuracy and highlight detail retention with the potential for improved performance with native support.

In this segment of the video, the content creator compares Dolby Vision to HDR10 gaming on two Xbox Series X consoles and two calibrated LG C1 OLED TVs using various games like Forza Horizon 4. They demonstrate the differences in HDR white point and brightness settings between Dolby Vision and HDR10. Despite both sets being calibrated, Dolby Vision shows better retention of specular highlight detail, while HDR10 is brighter overall. The video emphasizes that the picture quality is similar when peak brightness is optimized in-game but notes that Dolby Vision output from the Xbox Series X retains a bit more detail.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the differences between Dolby Vision and HDR10 gaming, using outriders on two separate Xbox Series X consoles as an example. The speaker notes that there is more visible posterization in the background on the Dolby Vision presentation compared to the HDR10 version, despite optimizing settings on both LG C1 TVs. Attempting to use LG’s stick contouring filter to smooth out the posterization in Dolby Vision mode does not work effectively. The issue of posterization is specifically highlighted in 4K resolution at 100Hz in Dolby Vision gaming. The speaker concludes that there isn’t a way to avoid posterization in this scenario.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the output specifications of Xbox Series X for HDR10 and Dolby Vision. For HDR10, the console outputs 10-bit RGB at a bandwidth of 40 gigabits per second. Conversely, for Dolby Vision, it outputs 12-bit YCbCr which appears as 8-bit on LG OLED displays due to conservative reporting, using only 32 gigabits per second of bandwidth. Switching to 4K 60Hz Dolby Vision results in smoother backgrounds compared to 4K 120Hz, with posterization limited to 4K 120Hz in game optimizer mode. The discussion also touches on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020’s peak brightness and specular highlight detail retention.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the difference in picture quality between Adobe Vision and HDR10 presentations in a game. They mention that the Adobe Vision presentation retains more specular highlight detail but may have some posterization in the sky. The speaker demonstrates adjusting brightness settings to improve highlight detail on the HDR10 output. They compare the Dolby Vision presentation’s balance and highlight preservation with some posterization in the sky. In the game Dirt 5, they mention slight differences in brightness between HDR10 and Dolby Vision versions but overall similarity in quality. Additionally, they note challenges in syncing separate consoles and dynamic weather rendering affecting comparison accuracy.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the differences between Dolby Vision and HDR10 when playing games on Xbox Series X. They highlight that Dolby Vision retains more specular light detail while keeping the average picture level slightly lower. The speaker demonstrates a comparison between Dolby Vision and HDR10 outputs, showing that Dolby Vision appears more colorful with better pop and depth due to better calibration settings on a LG C1 TV. They explain that users may prefer Dolby Vision due to its closer color temperature to the industry standard D65 white point. The speaker recommends optimizing and calibrating HDR10 settings to achieve a similar vibrant display.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the calibration settings for the LG C1 TV when using Dolby Vision and HDR10 for gaming. They explain how adjusting color temperature and HDR tone mapping impacts image quality and highlight the benefits of using Dolby Vision for retaining bright highlight detail. They mention that Dolby Vision may show more posterization at 4k 120hz compared to HDR10 for certain games. Additionally, they note that as of August 2021, Xbox Series X games do not have native Dolby Vision support but are converted by the console. The speaker hints at the possibility of conducting another comparison video once native Dolby Vision support is available and expresses gratitude to Richard Sounds Manchester for their assistance in the video.
