The new Dolby Vision 2 HDR standard is probably going to be controversial

SMRTR summary

Dolby Vision 2 introduces controversial new features beyond the original HDR format's capabilities. The updated standard includes "Content Intelligence" with AI that adjusts dark scenes for better visibility in different lighting environments using TV sensors. It also adds "Authentic Motion" functionality for motion handling. These changes attempt to balance filmmaker intent with real-world viewing conditions, potentially addressing complaints about overly dark content like Apple TV+'s Silo and Game of Thrones' Battle of Winterfell.
