After the April 2024 update I am happy to report that Dolby Vision is now virtually indistinguishable on my LG C3 and I cannot see a difference between Vero V and Apple TV 4K
Great job keep it up!

I have to agree, the DV works very well now! This makes me consider upgrading my Vero 4K+ to a Vero V as well. Very impressed with this new feature!

Probably time for me to come back to Vero from Shield TV (2017). I need to play some Dolby Vision MKV files and I’d rather get a Vero than an outdated Shield TV Pro 2019.
Impressed with all the work Sam (and others) has been putting on this platform all these years.

@sam_nazarko assuming this is still Dolby Vision tone mapping to HDR and not actual Dolby Vision support?
Stay tuned

Just out of curiosity, is there a timeline when we can expect native DV-output?
Unfortunately I don’t have any news on further Dolby Vision changes at this time. I will keep you updated if something develops
I got my Vero V today but I am struggling with the tonemapping settings. What needs to be set to map Dolby Vision on a HDR only display?
Or will UHD files having both HDR and DV always use HDR Layer? I would love to map those DV Layers as well instead of outputting the HDR Fallback.
For Profile 7 (as found on Blu-Ray) Vero can only play the fall-back HDR10 base layer. If you have any Profile 5 files Vero converts those to HDR10 to avoid the green and purple look.
All this is done automatically - no settings required.
HTH
Thanks for the answer. Damn. I actually upgraded to Vero V because I thought it would also map profile 7 files. But still a good upgrade. Maybe there will be an option for that in the future. Who knows…
But one more question regarding profile 5. Will this also work if an HDR10 fallback is available in those files? I’m thinking about hybrid files which are basicslly HDR10 with the additional DV Profile 5 RPU injected.
Those are just HDR10 with the display mapper part of the RPU only. Vero doesn’t implement the display mapper, I’m afraid.
