Sony Electronics Won’t Comment if There’s a Dolby Vision TV in Its Future

“There is no comment from Sony Electronics on this issue,” spokesman John Dolak emailed us Friday on our question whether there’s a Dolby Vision high-dynamic-range TV in Sony’s future. The Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announcement Thursday that the studio will use the Dolby Vision mastering process in its production of 4K Ultra HD titles for a “variety of home entertainment distribution partners” and content platforms (see 1509100037) raised media speculation that Sony Electronics would soon follow suit with a Dolby Vision TV. But Sony Electronics, like most other major TV set makers, thus far has shunned proprietary HDR systems like Dolby Vision in its TVs in favor of technologies compliant with open HDR specs SMPTE-2084 and SMPTE-2086 from the Society of Motion Picture and TV Engineers.
