The S does support DV but you have to have a display that supports it. I doubt the Roku TV you currently have supports DV. I personally would go with the LG C1 as it was last year's model and you can grab it for around 1,100. Or you can go with the C2 Which just came out but you are going to pay about 600 dollars more for a little brighter screen. I know there are a few Sony TV's that do DV and I actually had the Sony Bravia XR A90J but took that back to get the C1 because the C1 is half the price and can do DV and VRR at the same time. The Bravia Cannot do DV and VRR at the same time, you have to choose one or the other.

lol, yes, it's a ROKU TCL 4K TV.Model# 55P605 and yes!, it has DV. It displays on the TV set on the right hand side of the screen "Dolby Vision" when running a DV compatible input.

Check out the specs below. and yes, it's old but works fine for me and it was cheap!..lol

Nice! You are in business then. DV and DA are definitely a game changer. PS5 needs to really think about adding DV and getting their 3D audio fully implemented as XBOX really has the momentum in the market right now.

I love this TV, sure it's a Roku Smart TV and it's dated but it works really well! and the price was right. I still run my PS4Pro on it and it looks great and the quality is not bad for a TCL brand with Dolby Vision.

I will hook-up my Xbox Series/s soon and check out how it looks.

20 games in on online rated (PS5). What an amazing amazing amazing game. The chess match between me and my opponent. It really is a fulfilling experience (win or lose).

Coming from NBA 2k PNO, the experience is not even close……like two different universes apart !!

Loving it. Best game ever.

Playing a series against the Rockies. Randal Grichuk has had 5 at-bats and has 5 homeruns. Maybe I should stop pitching to him...

If Grichuk had played in the 70’s, he’d be Dave Kingman.

That would be Joey Gallo.

I thought replays on close calls at first weren’t in the game anymore until I saw my first one (30 games into franchise) yesterday. Done a little differently, cool to see.

There in lies the magic for the gamer. I had the Pirates get 8 runs off me in the top of the 10th to kick my butt. Enjoyed every minute of it, win or lose.

My last frame of reference for the Show was the '17 iteration, so coming into this year's version of RTTS was quite a change. First off, no more using stubs to improve your player. I do have mixed feelings about that, as I found it useful to advance my player more quickly due to lack of time, as well as pick the certain attributes I wanted to improve. Now I don't have to worry about spending extra, which is nice and a change of pace in this day-and-age, but again makes the grind, well, a grind.

Not that it's a bad game of baseball, by the way. I'm enjoying it so far, though I haven't ventured outside of RTTS quite yet. I'm not sure I love all the changes to RTTS, though. There's no more pre-draft games (at least as far as I could tell). No draft itself, unless I missed something. The mode also feels a tad more lifeless, I think. You play games and do training, but there's no more other interactions unless they come later?

No social media, no agent or coach to talk with. I see there are player relationships but I don't know if those go anywhere yet. Compared to '17, anyway, it doesn't feel like a mode that's actually advanced or innovated in any way. Maybe I'm premature and things change when you get to the majors? I don't know and I could revise my review later if that's the case.

The commentary is pretty meh, too, but that could be because I'm in AA. Again, not sure if I have a full view. Vasgersian and the guys were kind of tired, I suppose. Not sure the new duo is all that interesting.

Also, what's with all the pick-off attempts at 2nd base? That's so bizarre.

The pace of the offseason is so well done.

Far too often previously, all of the big time free agents would fly off the boards and leave the offseason to kind of drag on.

So far, I'm seeing a ton of great free agents still available as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday. Only a very few, probably count on one hand, have been signed. The rest are just waiting and fielding several different offers.

Aaron Judge has had no shortage of 7 different teams be in his top 3 and has had several different favorites to sign. Yankees lowballed him during exclusive negotiations and now the past day or so, teams are just throwing offers out there and now who do I see in the top 3? The Yankees offering a salary that matches what he's receiving on the open market.

So well done
