    Oh no, I can’t believe I won’t be able to watch the two shows that use Dolby Vision anymore.

      I got an LG C8 in 2017 because I thought Dolby Vision was gonna be awesome compared to HDR10, pretty much every Dolby Vision thing I’ve watched is too dark and anything white has that stupid yellowish tint to it.

        I have an LG C2 and I find Dolby Vision content pretty good, but only since they added the IQ setting, which boosts the brightness a little bit.

        Also, I’ve got used to the warm picture settings. So much so that everything else looks too blue to me now.

              I’ve watched multiple shows and movies with it, I’m one of those people that loves vivid colors, so even when the TV is calibrated (using an online guide) it still didn’t look good to me 🤷‍♂️
