Dolby Vision not working on Netflix and Disney+ on my iPad Pro M4

Have you updated your Netflix and Disney+ apps recently? Netflix updated just yesterday. Disney+ updated a little over a week ago. There apps need to support the feature. The same applies for Dolby Vision, it’s supplied in the same data packet to the apps and then to the respective hardware.

Are you running the developer or public beta of iPad OS? If so, you’ll need to revert back to iPad OS 17.x.x. Beta software frequently disables features that you might be expecting.

Sorry, my writing style comes across as angry or confrontational at times. Not my intent at all. 😀 Not many people in the forums use emojis, so I typically don’t. But I certainly can see the need for them at times.

I’ve participated in several of these discussion in the past. In the examples, that members have shared, have been riddled with too many variables to determine the cause(s). The most likely culprits are the apps and beta software. You’ve temporarily excluded those from the discussion.

Displaying a logo, really means nothing. Just saying. Let’s examine several settings on your iPad and you can determine if they affect your image quality. How is the brightness set for your device? Is it set on Automatic or are you manually adjusting screen brightness? How does the screen image quality change if you change the setting at this path,

iPad > Settings > Display & Brightness > scroll down > Advanced > Reference Mode > On.

How does that affect the image quality. Note that you cannot change the screen Brightness when Reference Mode is enabled. Image quality better, worse, same?

How are you doing the comparisons? I want to better understand you setup, so I can attempt to duplicate your experience and correlate it to mine.

Just because you purchased it yesterday, doesn’t mean Netflix and Disney+ are supporting the features the way you want. The very fact that YouTube works, should explain the importance of the apps supporting the features available. There are also settings within each app that will affect the quality of the image.
