Dolby Vision 2 is now available on select 2026 Hisense TV models, marking the first rollout of the upgraded HDR format. TCL and Philips will follow later this year.

The 2026 Hisense UX, UR9, UR8, and U7 are the first TVs to support Dolby Vision 2, which was announced last September. Dolby Vision 2 features a more powerful image engine and expanded metadata compared to the original Dolby Vision format. The new algorithm optimizes content on a scene-by-scene basis for improved picture quality. TCL and Philips have committed to adding Dolby Vision 2 support to select models later in 2026. The upgrade represents the first major iteration of Dolby Vision since its debut over a decade ago.
