And now you’re back to the original assumption from the article, hoping the manufacturers will support multiple formats and update their firmware. Which we know they will not. Thus the article, and yourself are wrong. If you guess wrong you WILL be on the outside looking in, having paid for HDR and only getting HD. You admitted it already yourself. Don’t know why you still want to argue. We’re done, have a great day.

“hoping the manufacturers will support multiple formats “

From the LG site:

“All LG Super UHD TVs feature HDR Super, which includes premium Dolby Vision™ in addition to industry-standard HDR10 together in one TV.”

Most all of content is in HDR10. Almost none is in Dolby Vision.

If you want HDR now, you have no choice.

Samsung TV’s don’t support DV but their processing modules are upgradeable. If They lose to DV and switch, older TVs may be upgraded.

However if you are an enthusiast then you may want a new TV.

For the common folks it is probably like the DVD choice. 480 or Blu-Ray. The upscale on the players and TV’s is so good that 480 DVDs are very enjoyable.

This is not true for Apple Lightning cables. The cheap knock offs degrade over time and will not work.

The big difference is with the phone cables you are messing with them all day while with the TV cables once you plug them in you rarely mess with them.
