I'm doubtful that your Dolby Vision experience is flawless, me and many others have noted crushed as well as elevated blacks on the C8 regardless of the input source.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 7:54 pmInteresting! I guess he came to that conclusion after testing the new DV pattern from his upcoming Spears and Munsil UHD bluray disc.
I don't really know about chroma upsampling nor ringing and I never really compared with LLDV but AFAIK, TV-LED DV on my setup (x700 + C8) looks much better and brighter than static HDR10 (better shadow details and more pop).
Here's the test pattern: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/spears ... t-59634582
It's FEL so you can compare HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
Spears is right on the madVR Envy, it is being tuned very well to look better than Dolby Vision for tonemapping.
No doubt HDR10 with proper tonemapping would look as good, if not better.
Dolby surely has made a huge mess out of this "standardizing HDR playback" idea.
