Still no Dolby Vision for UHD Blu-Rays?

Of course the Blu-Ray disks I'm using are UHD and have Dolby Vision.

Dolby Vision is enabled on Xbox One X settings, TV HDMI ports are in Enhanced mode (4:4:4 4K/UHD HDR 60Hz), and the TV test (that can be found inside Xbox menu) returns all green ticks for my Xbox-to-TV connection.

As said, Dolby Vision works with all streaming apps... but not when playing Blu-Ray UHD Dolby Vision disks.

I have an LG oled c7 and watch netflix trough webOs .

By doing it this way you should get Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

Microsoft will roll out an sofware update for netflix Dolby Vision shortly.

For the moment Dolby Vision is not supported on the Netflix app via Xbox.

I hope they also update the blu ray player shortly because there is much more content available on 4k uhd blu ray.

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you tell me if support for 4K HDR Dolby Vision for the Blu Ray player is a recent firmware update? The reason I ask is that all the info and reviews I have read say that the Blu Ray player only supports 4K UHD and not 4K
HDR Dolby Vision. Thanks again.

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.

Dolby vision is not working with UHD Blue-ray either.
