Dolby recently announced Dolby Vision 2, the next gene version of the company’s advanced HDR format, which has a more advanced image analysis engine and provides control of movement leveling to creators for the first time, including upgrades.
Of course, I wanted to know which TV producers would support Dolby Vision 2, and a remarkable response was from LG that said it had no plans to support the new HDR format.
However, LG has since contacted Techradar to update us about his attitude, and in fact it is much more ambivalent. The company did not confirm that it will support Dolby Vision 2 but made it clear that despite the previous statement it has not decided not to either.
“We evaluate the opportunity and remain obliged to deliver unique viewing experiences,” Baik Seon-Pill, head of the Product Planning Department at LG Media Solution Company, told, and specifically refers to Dolby Vision 2.
This puts it in line with Sony who told me, “Are we in discussion with Dolby? Yes, but at the moment we don’t really have a clear statement to make about Dolby Vision 2.”
Who is down with Dolby Vision 2?
Hisense is the only company confirmed to support Dolby Vision 2 on a limited number of existing TVs, but more about future TVs.
The first TVs expected to get the feature will be its upcoming RGB-MINI-LED lineup, which will be available in 50 to 100 inch sizes when they arrive in early 2026. The company has also said that its current Hisense 116UX model can be upgraded with Dolby Vision 2, a promise that should come as a source of relief to buyers of the $ 30,000 TV.
In addition to Hisense, TCL has not yet made an official statement about Dolby Vision 2, although the narrative showed a Dolby Vision 2 logo during a TV in its stand on the recent IFA 2025 show.
As for Samsung, the company has never supported Dolby Vision in any of its TVs, so there is little reason to expect it to dive into a next gene version of the HDR format. And we have not yet heard any Dolby Vision 2-related messages from Panasonic, Roku, Amazon or Philips, although each of these brands supports Dolby Vision on its current TVs.
Apart from HDR10+ Stalwart Samsung, all these TV producers with LG are “evaluating the opportunity” to add Dolby Vision 2 to future TVs. We undoubtedly learn about the decisions they have made on CES 2026 when new TVs are announced, as well as what plans if anyone they have to upgrade older TVs with Dolby Vision 2.
