    I understand. I responded because SinGA quoted my earlier post regarding CC Ultra/DoVi on the 2016 LG - an issue that is now resolved.

    I think SinGA is referring to non-DV displays that signal that they're receiving an HDR-10 signal but the picture is overexposed and the brighter colors seem like neon. This happened when I tried a Vudu 4k movie on my 2015 LG OLED. The LG was saying it's receiving and HDR-10 signal but the video was way off.

    This is still a problem for many of us!! When trying to play UHD titles via the Chromecast Ultra, the TV is switching to HDR10 and the picture is unwatchable ( instead of switching to SDR 4k ).

    I submitted a ticket with VUDU support but they have never gotten back to me.....

    Can somebody from VUDU give us an update on the situation????

    Specifically, I am running Chromecast Ultra directly into LG B6P. CCU signals ST2084 EOTF, but the TV switches to HDR10 rather than Dolby Vision. Picture is a mess.

    While on the subject of the Chromecast Ultra, audio output is all over the barn. Some titles that are DD+ 5.1 are being output as a 5.1 PCM decode (The Divergent Series: Insurgent); others are DD+ 5.1 bitstream (The Divergent Series: Allegiant). The sound quality for the 5.1 PCM decode is noticeably inferior (sounds like very low bitrate audio) compared to the bitstream. Some titles that are supposed to be DD+ 7.1 are only DD+ 5.1 bitstream (notable example is The Force Awakens). Some Dolby Atmos titles are sending DD+ 5.1 when they are supposed to be Atmos (Mad Max: Fury Road). On the other hand, some titles are correctly sending Atmos (San Andreas). It's kind of a minefield with the CCU right now. Not sure why it's getting such dramatically different results from other streamers when everything is supposed to be outputting native bitstream?

They are working on switching to direct 24Hz output to the TV when the content is 24Hz, which should fix it (assuming the TV supports 4K@24Hz 10 bit!).

    For Netflix, yes, you will get HDR10 instead of Dolby Vision.

    I don't know how VUDU will handle it, since I have yet to try a UHD title from VUDU yet....

    Sounds like its in Google's hands, but seems like VUDU might know *SOME*thing , since they posted "(Dolby Vision will be available pending an firmware update from Google)" on their forum.

    Do they not communicate?

    We are not alone. I found some posts about it on the Chromecast support forums. Go on there and let them know that DV is not working for you. Hopefully the more posts about it, the more attention it will get.

    I doubt that the LG OLEDs that are equipped to handle HDR10 and Dolby Vision are the problem. The problem is the inability of the chromecast ultra to do what it simply claims to be capable of doing which is provide streams in HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Now there may be a communication issue but it's not the inability of the tv. All the hdmi inputs will accept deep color. Also why would LG OLEDs which are designed to show 4K content in HDR10 and Dolby VIson not supply the proper inputs to accept he required bandwidth.

    I don't think anybody is having issues playing 4K UHD content through blu rays on the 2016 OLEDs

    So based on this test, and based on VUDU's announcement that Chromecast will have DV with an upcoming firmware update, I dont think its my AVR.

    Looks like the Chromecast Ultra is the problem right now.
