Here's my bunch of messages to Samsung requesting Dolby Vision, who's helping me terrorize them?!
Dear Samsung Electronics headoffice,
I truly love your products, from TV to soundbar, smartphone, tablet and watch.
I'm really happy with the TV I bought for using it with Philips Hue synchronization since my previous was unfortunately outside of the model years for eligible Samsung TV's, and that one to replace one that broke down after 10 years. I'm just loving my New screen! With that much love for the screen and your products. I stand behind your development department on improving techniques and developing new ones! However there's this thing that bugs me. Even though HDR10+ is great I think it still misses some finetuning from, yeah here I go, Dolby Vision. It's currently actually in use by all movie producers, not that HDR isn't, but it's aligned with the market. I read that for your 2025 TV's and soundbars you're incorporating your own version of Dolby Atmos. Also really great! Open source licensing can really drive a sector forward! But guess what? Sectors cooperate. I've read that DV is just a license and not hardware. Don't you think allowing that license on TV'S from let us say 2022 would be great for user experience, and in the bigger picture, your own research too! That scene by scene timing from DV is honestly superior to screen by screen scanning. I figure if you'd test this on a large scale on your devices, you can use its full potential to develop your own, great, cost-free HDR and spatial sound standards! Just like the Hue Sync app is a subscription or even $130 purchase.. I think Dolby Vision could co run at this point? Simultaneously with HDR even perhaps. It would be a delight to get locally generated ánd preplanned scene illumination. I think your panels are okay for it. I think on this side it would just be dealing, coding, selling, and developing your own standards, which ofcourse at some point will mix into 1 standard together with Dolby solutions. I as a fan bought this TV for the soundbar and Hue integration. Delight. It would be of great pleasure to myself to gain access to more and more standards through Samsung and my love for it. Believe me, HDR10+ isn't obsolete, it's very useful in fact for producing on the spot imaging! However, markets don't stay split forever. Just like LG is getting the Hue Sync app too! Means you must have signed it off together with Signify! I'm sure you could cut deals for at or under $130 for an app, for those eager and willing, with your customers to have them enjoy DV too! It would bring so much more customers to your high end low budget audience I think! Who says no to more, other advanced, incorporations on what is basically the centerpiece of the house. You've got great screens! Make them work great with other standards on the market, progress through cooperation. Didn't you go from Exynos to Snapdragon in your phones too? You can sway! Please, I'll hope you take this into sincere consideration for the further satisfaction of your customers? My old Samsung TV lasted 10 years! That's a lot of development time! Daring to take a gamble and allow both standards on your panels? For example, I'm getting a new Samsung soundbar soon for Atmos! Eclipsa could be great! But you'd need to go through a lot of first stafe development, which is intuitive, but also time consuming, thus money. Not having DV repels a lot of cinefiles I'm guessing! Ofcourse you want to read data straight from the filmmakers themselves! Believe me when this can be a great customer satisfaction, technological development, business opportunity and sales boost for your screens! I'm so hoping you'll have a good talk about this at HQ! I'd love to buy or subscribe for added DV next to HDR, see how much you can mangle them into 1 viewing. Gotta learn from your surroundings right? Could you put it in acting? I'm certainly hoping you'll take this to heart and give your customers even more to love!
Much love,
My reliant partner, I believe in you!
Enjoying HDR10+ on my xbox generally, and now adapted DV from a streaming app on my TV. I'm sure that little AI genq2 chip has enough power to incorporate with another protocol running in the system.
Much love xoxo

Heyheyhey! So the Hue Sync app is $130, now LG is getting it too! They do have DV, I looked around and found that a license per TV is only around $3, I really think adding a DV buyable add-on application to the store for TV's that can handle it would increase the interests in your TV's immensely! How much would it take to implement on your newer screens? I'm pretty sure you can get those developing costs adjusting and fitting DV to Samsung TV's could be a huge upside potential in sales and customer satisfaction. $3 goes to Dolby, how much you'll ask your customer is up to you! If let's say, I'd have to pay $30 or something for a DV license, for on 1 TV like the Hue Sync, I would straight on go for it! I think many others would aswell! Ofcourse HDR10 is your brainchild, but I've already put forward the the research and advancements it could bring combining those 2 to 1 panel and system! I so so hope your management team is willing to investigate this. Giving your developers freedom to give it a go on your screens, hardware, and Tizen! It wouldn't be a mistake at all! Can only be fortunate.
You've lost the Hue upper edge now that LG is going to support it, and guess what, LG does have DV. Now my TV has Atmos, so you do use some Dolby. I love my Samsung products, they're universal across the tech sector! Getting a new soundbar soon! So I'll have Atmos, what's just missing now is the most fidelity I can get out of this TV! Has the NQ4 Al gen 2 processor got some space left for a combination of HDR and DV? I'd love for it to be so! Think about the amount of customers Samsung loses because of lacking support! You can have it all, who else does TV's and soundbars as good as Samsung? Let it not be Sony or LG. I want and need your ecosystem, but I do have wishes!

Hi there! Thanks for reaching back! May I know what reasons are hindering something like this happening besides your own development of HDR? There was a Samsung panel in an LG that could do DV. Samsung likes to position itself as a bang for the buck tech company, which I surely believe!
How hard is it to do a test run within dev department and sales department?
You'll miss out on a lot of opportunities if this does happen to be a killer!
And don't worry, there's enough video material that's not DV and only HDR, you won't get blown out off the market. Just gotta have them learn from eachother, might even lead to Dolby giving you a big pat on the shoulder!
What limitations could there be besides focusing on own technologies?
You'd be missing out! I really believe the combination of "live" image inspection and the preprogrammed metadata could work to a dashing miracle! So please divulge if you could for this loyal Samsung user!
These were my messages to Samsung practically begging for dual HDR and DV support! Something that wouldn't fall into ill taste with myself!
I'm sure a lot of others of us Samsung TV users would love to have Dolby Vision on their screens for another immersive level of viewing, with metadata preprogrammed!
Do you folks think we can sway the tides and get Samsung to do a customers satisfaction mission for its users? And not forgetting how much other potential buyers they could attract if DV was an option!
DV is a license, not hardware. About $3 a license a unit. I'd gladly pay for a $30 DV addition app in Tizen!
Do folks here think we can convince Samsung to go full ***** on their solid equipment? LG and Sony are big competitors, both offering cooperating TVs and Soundbars, however, they do include DV.
Yes! HDR should be developed! Doesn't mean DV can't be included as well, and as I wrote, could even be used for development purposes! Switching from metadata to live processing, yeah that could be improved!
JUST DO IT SAMSUNG!
I want DV to go with my home cinema set which is, by preference, Samsung!
And let's face it, besides development costs for Samsung to integrate into their devices, the license from Dolby is only $3! How much would you be willing to pay to expand your TV with this capability?
WHO'S WITH ME?!
LET ME HEAR YOU ALL!!
WE WANT DV! WE WANT DV! WE WANT DV!
(?To be Franken HDVR?)
Have a good one all!
