LG’s new range of HDR-enabled OLED TV’s are changing the home-theatre game in more ways than one. Along with being able to play HDR and 4K Ultra HD quality video, LG’s OLED range is bringing Dolby Vision to Australian homes.
Where Ultra HD delivers on the potential of 10-bit colour panel, Dolby Vision surpasses it with 12. Dolby Vision video content has been remastered on a scene-by-scene level and uses metadata to optimize the output to your screen’s technical specs to ensure the best results.
