VIZIO’s latest and greatest HDR TVs now support both major HDR standards

The world of home theater is no stranger to format wars — see “VHS vs. Beta” or “Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD” — but recently, we’re seeing a more subtle, digital type of format war with two competing standards for HDR (High Dynamic Range): Dolby Vision and HDR10.

Vizio’s new P-Series and M-Series TVs launched earlier this year with HDR support, but only supported Dolby Vision out of the box, meaning UHD Blu-ray players from Samsung and Philips weren’t supported on the TVs. Fortunately, that is beginning to change with the rollout of a new firmware update, Vizio announced on Wednesday.
