Dolby Vision is part of HDR Steve. Dolby Vision requires more processing power because it is constantly controlled on a frame-to-frame basis. The two Panasonic OLED TVs above are without Dolby Vision feature.

And Panasonic just recently announced their new top 2018 4K Blu-ray player with both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision on board, the DP-UB820. So it is strange that their two top OLED TVs are not supporting Dolby Vision. I'm sure there is a valid reason behind...to be found in the near future ...

Steve is right. The Panny OLED does NOT support Dolby Vision and as I understand it, such support can't be added via a firmware update. It also lacks any HDMI 2.1 inputs./ I is also not for sale in the US, unless, of course, you know a guy...

I know that Steve is right, I know that Panasonic OLED TVs don't support Dolby Vision, I know that they are avail only overseas and not in America.
The video mentioned only HDR10+, which is a first.

HDMI 2.1 perhaps later on this year, if not next year...2019.

CES 2018 comes up with interesting developments; it is strange that Panasonic OLED TVs which are considered the very best by some experts aren't available here on this continent.
LG OLED and Sony OLED are though, and with Dolby Vision support. ...From streaming and from some 30 or so 4K Blu-ray movie titles, and playable only from the Oppo and Cambridge 4K Blu-ray players. ...And now we can add the Panasonic DP-UB820 4K Blu-ray player which will be avail this Spring.
