“Dolby Vision 2 will intelligently adapt to give the best presentation of the content fine-tuned for your device and viewing environment … Precision Black reduces consumer frustration that the image is “too dark” by making it crystal clear and improving clarity in any viewing environment … Light Sense fine-tunes picture quality through advanced ambient light detection and new reference lighting data from the content source to optimize your TV for the ideal viewing experience … Sports and Gaming Optimization introduce new enhancements such as white point adjustments and motion control designed specifically to address the unique needs of live sports and gaming.
 
… Dolby Vision 2 expands the capabilities of Dolby Vision beyond HDR. This includes features like Authentic Motion, the world’s first creative driven motion control tool to make scenes feel more authentically cinematic without unwanted judder on a shot-by-shot basis.”
