Does the Xbox series x have Dolby vision playback support for 4k blu ray discs ?

Hi I have a Xbox series x with a Dolby vision compatible tv also will the allow Dolby vision playback selected in settings on and it still only displays in HDR only when playing 4k blu rays ? I have set it 4k 60hz and the games display in Dolby vision plus streaming apps but not 4k disc playback! Is this correct that the xbox series can’t do this ?

The system supports Dolby Vision in certain streaming apps like Netflix, Disney +, and Vudu, but it's not yet supporting playback of 4k discs with Dolby Vision through the blu-ray app. Hopefully they will eventually patch an update to do so. But currently,
it does NOT.

good evening

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights on this topic. I would like to provide some additional information that may be helpful.

While it is true that the Xbox does not require a separate license to play Dolby Atmos content from 4K UHD Blu-ray discs, it is important to note that Dolby Vision is a separate and distinct technology from Dolby Atmos. Dolby Vision is a high dynamic range (HDR) format that provides a wider color gamut and brighter highlights than standard dynamic range (SDR) content. Dolby Vision requires a separate license and hardware support in order to be played back on compatible devices.

While the Xbox One S and Xbox One X do have 4K UHD Blu-ray optical drives, they do not support Dolby Vision playback. This is due to the hardware limitations of the console's optical drive, which is not capable of reading the Dolby Vision data on the disc.

It is true that dedicated 4K UHD Blu-ray players with Dolby Vision support can be expensive, but it is also worth noting that these devices often provide superior playback quality and features compared to gaming consoles. Additionally, for those who prioritize the highest quality playback, a dedicated 4K UHD Blu-ray player may be a worthwhile investment.

While the Xbox may not have been primarily designed as a Blu-ray player, it is still a feature that is advertised and supported by the console. As such, it is understandable that some users may be disappointed that Dolby Vision support is not available.

Lastly, while it is true that some Blu-ray players may be quieter than the Xbox, it is worth noting that this can vary depending on the specific device and usage scenario. Some Blu-ray players may still produce audible noise during operation, while the Xbox's noise levels may vary depending on factors such as the specific game or application being used, the console's cooling system, and the ambient noise level in the room.

Yes, please bring Dolby Vision support to the Xbox 4k Blu-ray player! I have a vast collection of 4k Blu-Rays and a tv that supports Dolby Vision (LG C9).

I have a XBOX One X connected to an OLED LG C8. If I use the Netflix app on XBOX One X then the LG will display Dolby Vision. So I know that it is passing. But If I use a 4K Bluray that has Dolby Vision, the player will only output HDR。Blu-ray
playback is already up to date.
