Summary

  • Dolby Vision 2 began rolling out on select Hisense TVs on Aug. 6, while HDR10+ Advanced launched on select Samsung sets last month, opening a new HDR standards fight in consumer TVs.
  • Support remains narrow: Dolby Vision 2 is confirmed only on Peacock, CANAL+ and iQIYI, while HDR10+ Advanced is currently available only through Prime Video.
  • More TV models are expected to gain the formats through firmware updates, suggesting the contest will broaden over the next few months as hardware and streaming support expand.
  • The launches add another front to a busy late-2026 home-cinema market, alongside new Sonos and Sony audio products, Apple's foldable iPhone Duo and the first major sales season for RGB Mini LED TVs.
