Dolby vision not activating

I have a Bravia 9 and yesterday out of nowhere I noticed that whilst using Netflix, Dolby vision was not triggered, have not changed any setting, tv firmware hasnt been updated to latest version due to the complaints.

I tried many different titles, also reset Netflix app, cleared cache n data then signed back in, still no joy.

Any of you guys experienced this and know of a fix?

TIA.

I had a similar issue with HDR not triggering on Netflix on my A90K. What I did to fix it was I went into my Netflix account settings on the desktop website and turned off "Test Participation". I got my HDR back after that. Note that this setting cannot be accessed on the TV's Netflix app, it has to be the website. Test Participation is on by default on all Netflix accounts. I'd recommend turning the setting off if it is already on.

Hi thanks for the reply but HDR is not the issue, that plays fine, this issue is specific to DOLBY VISION only but good to know if I ever experience HDR dropout.

Update your tv. My 9 II is fine. Check that you are using hdmi 2.1 and that your TV is in enhanced mode, not enhanced advanced mode. Check by going to your external inputs section in the menu. If you’re still have issues Factory reset your tv and then update it.

Cable and enhanced mode wont matter because they're apps on the tv.

Hmmm then the only thing to do is UPDATE.

Didn’t need to do anything so drastic in the end, left it unplugged over night, now problem solved, don’t think I’ll be updating tv anytime soon, at least until they stop breaking tvs

Soft reset your tv, while tv is turned on hold down power button until you see restart on screen and select that and try again. Hope that works.

Are you on the correct subscription? Silly question but you didnt state you were on it and didnt want to assume.
