First of all I'm in a wheelchair and not in those recliners so no, I don't just like it for the comfort. Second, the picture quality is superior to the other theaters I've been too, and the HDR, Black Levels, as well as the contrast blow everything else away for me. But if you don't like it, then you do you I guess.
That your experience was different than (most) others.
This isn't about subjective "experience." Black levels, brightness, these are things that can be measured. It's true that I'm eyeballing them here, but in fairness, I'm a pretty discerning enthusiast. And I saw the exact same film in multiple formats within a 3 day period, so everything was fresh in my mind. If others did that, I'm sure they'd arrive at the same conclusion as me. But if you just see it once in Dolby and it looks pretty solid, you continue to buy into the hype you read about online.
It's either people not knowing any better and buying into the hype, or the Dolby Cinema in Dallas was lying when they sold me my ticket. I'm inclined to think it's the former.
This is the fucking thing!

Once again, it isn't your take on Dolby Cinema and its relative quality.
So you're focusing on the least important, throwaway part of my posts because you got caught in your feelings. Okay.
Nah the focus is the fact that when you open a conversation by implying everyone who disagrees with your subjective experience gets amped about recliners, you come off as a pretentious asshole and therefore a person who deserves minimal credibility for anything that comes out there mouth.
I said that was the only explanation I could think of, implying that I'm open to hearing others. After that I straight up asked what other explanations might be.
Yeah pretty close. They're both edge lit (versus FALD) and if you were happy with that set you'd probably be happy with the 850. I can't speak to the Vizio as I haven't seen em.
Mainly price and then some personal preference on certain features. The LG and Sony OLEDs are extremely similar but the LG's can generally be had cheaper since Sony currently gets their panels from LG.
So far the only banding I've seen has been on youtube via the PS4. This itself seems to clear up as the video quality catches up, and was mostly when there were large shots of solid color gradients.
Wacky. Shame I didn't commit to making a "first impressions" video. Would have been fun to put my TV through the works and document it all.
Yes I've been to both, and Dolby Cinema is much more immersive to me.
I saw Infinity War twice, and Dolby Vision was the better viewing experience.
What about my team?
Yeah it's a real bummer. I've had to switch to watching DV Netflix content in SDR. =/
The Vizio has backlighting which crates great local dimming. The 850 is edgelit which will create blooming when trying to light a specific part of the screen when the rest is dark.
What about my team?
Really not seeing a detail difference. Biggest change seems to be color timing.
I don't think there's any feature that's the equivalent of the Sony's smooth gradation processing. But a lot of content shouldn't really have any problems.
I'm not subscribed to Netflix at the moment so I'm not sure about Troy specifically but HDR10 over HDMI doesn't require an update so your set should already ready for it. It's best to use port 2 or 3 (which is also the ARC capable port if you've got a receiver) and also make sure you've turned on Enhanced HDMI for the port you're using. If you're launching the 4K HDR10 version of something on Netflix then it should work and trigger HDR on your TV automatically, as long as the Netflix app on the device supports it and you have the proper subscription that includes 4K.
This is for at least LG TV's (including the new 2018 models), but might extend to other sets as well:
You should be able to at least watch it in HDR, provided your device allows that option. Should be almost as good. But I ain't buying 4K Dolby Vision movies to watch them in almost their best setting.
If the issue is over HDMI content can't you watch it with the built in app?
I'm at work right now, but off the top of my head Mute on Netflix has this issue. It's actually a good thing that the issue affects Netflix (and Amazon, Apple movies, etc), since it's easy to switch back and forth between the HDMI Netflix and the built-in Netflix app (which has zero issues) to compare.
