Dolby Laboratories has announced the second generation of its HDR standard for TVs — Dolby Vision 2. As Engadget reports, the company introduced the new technology at the IFA 2025 exhibition. Hisense will be the first TV manufacturer to bring Dolby Vision 2 to the market.
Dolby Vision 2 is designed for today's TVs and takes into account advanced content tools. The technology is based on Content Intelligence - a system that automatically adapts the image to what you are watching and the lighting conditions in the room. It includes Precision Black for better visibility in dark scenes, Light Sense for adjusting to ambient light, and Sports and Gaming Optimization for improving the dynamics of sports broadcasts and games.
The new model supports bi-directional tone mapping, which allows premium TVs to display higher brightness, richer colors and sharper contrast while maintaining the original intent. Among the new features is Authentic Motion, a motion control system that makes scenes more "cinematic".
Dolby Vision 2 will be available in two versions: Dolby Vision 2 Max for premium models with maximum processing power and a standard version for more affordable TVs.
