Nice find! I don't believe that HGIG mode (BT.2020, PQ hard-clipped without tone mapping) allows the TV to achieve the same image as player-LED Dolby Vision mode. It's possible the TV goes into a non-standard mode with different gamut or some other parameters. For the player-LED processing to work correctly at the source, it would need to read and make use of such parameters if they exist. I don't believe that any desktop software will do this correctly if such processing is required, even if they display a fancy Dolby Vision logo. A certified device like Xbox might.

It was stored vertically just like the instructions on the box.

My LG G1 developed dead pixels while sitting unused in the box for 2 years. There were no dead pixels when I boxed it up. I unboxed it yesterday and there is an irregularly shaped strip of dead pixels near the edge. It's as if the panel got damaged from pressure just sitting in the box.

With the current drivers, Dolby Vision support has been removed from all games that used to have it AFAIK. It no longer works at all.

AMD EXPO kit just released and most boards are on their QVL: https://www.gskill.com/qvl/165/390/1665020865/F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5NR-QVL The primary timings are identical to the Intel XMP kit.

Is the Dolby Vision logo produced by the Films & TV player?

It's likely just converting the single-layer Dolby Vision profile (which doesn't have a backwards compatible HDR10 layer baked in) to HDR10 and not running the display in Dolby Vision mode.

I've discovered there are cheap media players from Zidoo and Dune HD with the hardware Dolby Vision VS10 engine that can play back virtually all Dolby Vision formats over HDMI. They can stream sources files from your PC via network shares. They're better than a Shield which still has issues with decoding some Dolby Vision content.

I see there's a new fork with updates. You don't use TCG OPAL directly. You use it through a management utility like BitLocker or SEDutil. There's no reason to use SEDutil over BitLocker on a Windows eDrive capable sytem. eDrive is a seamless integration of TCG OPAL and Secure Boot. If your system doesn't support eDrive then you can fall back to SEDutil. You can use either BitLocker or SEDutil in combination with Veracrypt. It will probably require some fiddling to get the two PBAs to chainload successfully.

SEDutil is abandoned and doesn't support basic functionality like sleep mode on Windows. It also doesn't support storing the keys in the TPM like BitLocker, so you need to type the password on every boot. 1. SEDutil uses TCG OPAL functionality provided by the drive for hardware encryption. TCG OPAL supports independent encryption of LBA ranges on the disk such as a single partition. TCG OPAL is rarely used for full-disk encryption of the entire LBA range as there typically needs to be an unencrypted PBA partition. If TCG OPAL is managed by the UEFI or HBA instead of a software PBA, it can use full-disk encryption of the entire LBA range as there doesn't need to be an unencrypted PBA partition. Class 0 is typically full-disk encryption in the literal sense. Full-disk encryption is not more secure than encrypting a single partition. 2. SEDutil is a tool to manage the TCG OPAL functionality provided by the drive's hardware, so yes it's an alternative to other disk encryption tools. BitLocker's hardware mode uses TCG OPAL with a supported drive and UEFI. Otherwise it falls back to software encryption like VeraCrypt. Technically, you can use software encryption like VeraCrypt within a TCG OPAL encrypted partition, so they're not mutually exclusive. You'd have to chainload the PBAs. 3. TCG OPAL is always hardware encryption with no performance loss. SEDutil does not support software encryption - it's an open source PBA for TCG OPAL drives. BitLocker is the only other free PBA for TCG OPAL available to consumers. There are other proprietary enterprise PBAs for TCG OPAL. VeraCrypt is a software encryption PBA which does not support TCG OPAL. Class 0 also has no performance loss. Class 0 may not use encryption at all, but on TCG OPAL drives Class 0 mode typically uses encryption as well. The implementation of Class 0 encryption is typically less secure than TCG OPAL, and the implementation of TCG OPAL is also insecure on many drives. There is no performance loss by enabling TCG OPAL or Class 0 as the drives always use encryption even when encryption is disabled, but with a default key. At this point, I would use only BitLocker with an eDrive capable SSD and UEFI like the Samsung 980 PRO, Intel SSD DC, or Intel Optane DC drives. BitLocker no longer uses hardware encryption by default even if available, so you have to enable it manually.

Dolby Vision works only on the built-in certified display like on a Mac. The software does Dolby Vision tone mapping and the display is not involved. I'm surprised this works in Boot Camp. I would like to know if this works on an external HDMI Dolby Vision display on a certified Mac. I tried it on my PC with an RTX 3090 and LG CX but Netflix doesn't show the Dolby Vision logo like in the video.

Both LG's player and Plex running on WebOS require MP4 or TS containers to play Dolby Vision remuxes. The advantage of the 'new' MakeMKV is that some metadata is preserved for the Dolby Vision stream, and you can use this MKV as the source to remux to MP4 instead of the disc. There are updated tools which can recover the metadata from an 'old' MKV though. In either case you'll need to remux to MP4 once again.

I haven't tried it but I believe it's fully automated in the latest MakeMKV - from the original disc or even from an 'old' format remux which has the separate streams. You have to generate a lossy E-AC-3 stream if you want to decode to PCM on most players. Players can bitstream True HD but usually can decode only E-AC-3.

If the file is correctly encoded for single layer Dolby Vision, you can play it on a Shield. You can also use the built-in media player on the TV. There is no way to play any kind of Dolby Vision file on a PC.

Cloning the displays restricts the framerate of desktop animations to the refresh rate of the slower display. This is an issue if you have a 120 Hz monitor and a 60 Hz AVR. The monitor runs at 120 Hz, but Windows somehow restricts the framerate on the desktop.
