You asked: the best TVs for dark rooms and gaming wishes with Dolby Vision.

In the most recent episode of a quiz show, several viewer inquiries were addressed regarding the use of technology in televisions and consoles. One of the recurring questions was whether it is possible to force a PlayStation 5 to use Dolby Vision. The discussion also covered whether an internet connection is required for the new Sony televisions and when the upcoming Tizen update from Samsung is expected.

One query raised concerned the capabilities of the Bravia 9 models and their functionality without an internet connection. Although the specifications of televisions distributed in the European Union cannot be confirmed, in the United States, Sony models can operate without an internet connection. This is particularly important as consumer protection regulations in the EU are stricter. It is inconceivable that a renowned brand like Sony would make their devices unusable without internet access, as this should be clearly stated on the product packaging.

Another viewer asked whether it was possible to use Dolby Vision in PS5 Pro games. It was noted that previously, it was feasible to upscale to 4K by connecting a PS4 or PS5 through an Xbox One X or S. Unfortunately, there is no known method to force the PS5 to use Dolby Vision unless the content has the appropriate signal and metadata. Additionally, it was recommended that although some devices like the Apple TV 4K can force everything to Dolby Vision, using that feature is not advisable.

Regarding the anticipated software update for Samsung televisions, it was reported that it began rolling out just over a week ago, although there appear to have been interruptions in the process. Some users received notifications to update, but these subsequently disappeared, suggesting there have been issues with the rollout. While the update is expected to arrive soon, the company has not provided a clear timeline.

Finally, the discussion turned to which television is best for use in completely dark rooms. One viewer was looking for a large television, considering models like the LG B4, C4, and Hisense U8. For viewing in a darkened room, the importance of a high brightness level is less significant, while backlight control becomes crucial. OLED screens were preferred for their ability to deliver deep blacks without light bleed, although high-end LCD models like the Hisense U8, which also have good backlight control, were mentioned.

The LG C4 was recommended as an outstanding option for dark environments, in addition to offering superior image processing, which is crucial for visual quality.
