Amazon to Stream Season 2 of 'Bosch' in Dolby Vision Free to Prime Customers
Season two of Amazon Video’s Bosch is the first Amazon TV series to be available in Dolby Vision, said the companies Monday. More high-dynamic-range titles are to come at no premium for Amazon Prime customers, said Jim Freeman, vice president-Amazon Video, referring to HDR generically. Dolby Vision titles available for purchase at Amazon for all customers are The Smurfs 2, After Earth, Men in Black 3, Hancock, Salt, Pineapple Express, Fury, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Chappie and Elysium, Amazon said. LG used the Amazon news to promote its status as the first TV maker to support both available HDR formats -- HDR10 and Dolby Vision -- “so consumers can enjoy more true-to-life images on LG’s stunning 4K displays without worrying about format compatibility.” Samsung and Sony, it noted in an email, support just HDR10. “With only one format, consumers risk missing out on content that becomes available exclusively in Dolby Vision,” it said.
