2 Current Philips 4K Blu-ray Decks Get Dolby Vision Downloadable Software Update

Two current models of Philips-brand Ultra HD Blu-ray players, the BDP7502 and BDP7302, will support Dolby Vision playback through a newly downloadable software update, said P&F USA, the Funai subsidiary that’s licensed to market Philips-brand TVs and home video gear in North America. P&F USA markets two series of Philips-brand TVs in North America with Dolby Vision, and at CES announced plans to embed Technicolor HDR technology into the 2019 line of Philips TV products (see 1801060001). TP Vision, which is licensed to sell Philips-brand TVs in most world markets outside North America, has shunned Dolby Vision, and recently became the first TV maker independent of the Fox-Panasonic-Samsung "3C" consortium to announce HDR10+ support for actual product, beginning with TVs to be marketed in Europe by midyear (see 1801260030).
