Doesn't matter.  As Rtings mentions,

QuoteWhen shopping for a new TV, you shouldn't worry too much about which formats it supports, because the TV's performance is much more important when it comes to the HDR picture quality.

Unless you really, really, really care about this, the difference is likely to be so minimal as to be moot.  Also, if you do get Dolby Vision, you'll pay (slightly) more on average per device, since there is a license cost.

QuoteUltimately, the difference between the three formats isn't that important. The quality of the TV itself has a much bigger impact on HDR. Both formats can produce much more dynamic images than what we used to see, and HDR delivers a more impactful movie experience as long as the TV displays it properly.

I DO NOT NEED a STRANGER to tell me how MY EYES should perceive visuals and I definitely do not need a STRANGER to tell me how to invest my EARNED money!

You need that? Well, there is a saying you know... It is easy to separate a FOOL from its money... you know. 😏

OK. Sounds good.

I've sat in showrooms with Sony, LG and Samsung's near-best.  I'm very comfortable with the Samsung I got at $500 lower than the LG at the same size.  And I'm aware that Sony also makes a fantastic set.  I'm just not willing to pay so much more money for so much minimal an improvement.  Not sure that is foolish, but was just the easy conclusion I reached.  I already paid an exorbitant amount for the Samsung versus TCL or Vizio or whatever.  All three brands (SOny/LG/Samsung) make incredible products.  You can't go wrong with any of them.

Let's see - HDR+ = extremely limited support by ALL streaming services, UHD BluRay & gaming.

Dolby Vision = all mainstream digital content/services are supported, majority of AAA/blockbuster's content is supported, majority of all brands of TVs are DoVi supported... on & on!

So, Sammy (extremely limited, no DoVi) or... the others?!?! 🤔
