When Dolby Vision 2 was announced in late 2025, the next generation of Dolby’s dynamic HDR technology arrived with plenty of promises and almost as many unanswered questions. Ten months later, the picture is finally coming into focus, with Hisense confirming that select 2026 UX, UR9, UR8, and U7 televisions will receive Dolby Vision 2 Max through software updates rolling out in the coming weeks. The upgrade will apply to supported Google TV and VIDAA models across multiple regions, making Hisense one of the first manufacturers to bring Dolby’s next-generation HDR platform to televisions already in consumers’ homes.
In this podcast, eCoustics founder Brian Mitchell, Senior Reviewer Al Griffin, and Editor at Large Chris Boylan break down the latest developments surrounding Dolby Vision 2 and Dolby Vision 2 Max, including what has changed, which Hisense TVs will support the technology, and what consumers can expect over the coming weeks and months.
