What’s the difference between the LG 55 B42 and LG 55B46 apart from hundreds of pounds?

So here goes . Got tv today initial set up was just using youtube to test supposed dolby vision content ... no luck. Thought oh well the picture was very good. Eventually decided to log into netflix on the tv as opposed to my sky stream. Decided to look for dolby vision, found The Witcher a soon as i played a few seconds a banner appeared saying dolby vision/dolby atmos. The tv has frickin dolby vision. 😁

What chance have we got if the info we’re fed is duff?

Try iPlayer and look for/search on UHD. Can you see any listed? Strike or Asia are 2.

@Minkey1

You are absolutely correct i mean these guys are paid to know this stuff. What i did notice on netflix that i didn't before on my old tv is the amount of dolby vision content. I wonder does does netflix only label something as dolby vision if the tv is compatible

@Minkey1

I think that’s exactly how iPlayer does it. I never saw the UHD banner in our old TV, even tho it was a 4k set.

Excellent 👍

As HLG was jointly developed by the BBC and NHK (Japan's PSB) and is royalty free as a result it's not really at all surprising

But the TV still has to be compatible. My last 4k Samsung wasn’t.

Its just that someone posted above that a supposed lg employee had posted that my tv neither had hlg and dolby vision

Yes I get that, my point is, being royalty free, support is more common place than DV.

Netflix is the main provider of DV and it makes SDR and even HDR look naff. I mean 63billion colours

In my suite of streaming sources only iPlayer uses HLG.

I wasn't commenting on the merits or otherwise of the various formats.

Yes because it's developed for broadcast media, funnily enough.

But your TV does support it, whereas LG don't even seem to know if their h/w supports DV or not..

And yet it’s on iPlayer only, restricting its availability even further. iPlayer is 5% of our viewing, broadcast abt 15%, the rest split across Netflix, Prime, Now, and Apple TV+.

Mainstream it’s not.

You seem to have an issue.

Cheerio.

Yes, and I'm not even sure what the issue is. Daveh75 merely commented on HLG being jointly developed by BBC. Being royalty free, others are free to use it. It's upto them to implement it or not. I did not see it as a competition to DV. So I'm confused what the argument is about.
