Except it’s NOT like that. The problem here is if I go Sony who’s gone Dolby Vision and then Dolby Vision loses to HDR10 nobody is going to support it. While I’ll still be able to get NON-HDR content just fine on my Sony (like the non-Dolby) I’m not going to get HDR content because it’ll all be in HDR10 and I’ll have dead Dolby. YOU really need to read the whole artilce, particularly this part:
Meanwhile, Samsung — one of the biggest HDR10 proponents — seems to still be sticking exclusively with that standard even with its newly announced flagship sets, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be missing out on any HDR content.
Of course, all this only is true if manufacturers decide to provide support for the various formats.
If you want to place your bets great, your money, but don’t come crying to me if you bet wrong. I’ve been through format wars, I know how this works, anybody saying there’s no possibility of getting hosed because you picked wrong is full of crap. PERIOD.
Yes it is.
