What is the difference between Dolby Vision and HDR10?

Both Dolby Vision and HDR10 are HDR (High Dynamic Range) formats that deliver brighter highlights and deeper shadows than standard video. Dolby Vision uses dynamic metadata that adjusts the image scene-by-scene for optimized quality, while HDR10 uses static metadata applied uniformly to the entire film. Dolby Vision is generally considered superior in quality, but requires both the content and your TV/device to support it. HDR10 is more universally compatible.
