Filmmaker Dolby Vision mode approaching…

The evolution of the Filmmaker Mode announced at the CES show in Las Vegas 2022 (see our news CES 22 > Filmmaker Mode Phase 2 soon in your televisions) for all televisions should also lead to the definition of a Filmmaker mode dedicated to HDR Dolby Vision.

Filmmaker Dolby Vision mode, in 2024 in LG TVs?

That this announcement was made during an LG event is probably anything but a coincidence. The Korean manufacturer should most certainly be the first to integrate this functionality in its future televisions, not in 2023 but perhaps for the 2024 range.
