Inconsistent HDR format support in PS5 & Xbox Series X

What They Say

Flatpanelshd reports that there is uncertainty about HDR support in the XBox Series X and PS5. Xbox Series X will support HDR10+. Microsoft will also support Dolby Vision for streaming and gaming (later), but reportedly not for UHD Blu-ray. Although Sony TVs support Dolby Vision, there has been no support announced in the PS5, even for UltraHD Blu-Ray playback.

What We Think

It’s slightly surprising to see Sony not supporting Dolby Vision on the PS5. Perhaps the firm is concerned about cannibalising its sales of dedicated BD players? When I bought my PS3, many years ago, I remember that part of the discussion with the family accountant was that it would also allow the playing of Blu-ray disks. (BR)
