Does Paramount+ have Dolby Vision?

Paramount+ subscribers can stream a large selection of popular content in the best possible way, with the phenomenal picture quality of Dolby Vision. Just make sure you’ve got the premium plan and that you’re using a device that supports Dolby Vision®.

 

From Jackass Forever and Sonic 2 to Raiders of the Lost Ark and the latest Scream, everyone can enjoy the experience of a picture that comes alive in with mind-popping color. There are also many TV shows, including Paramount+ originals like Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard. You can also purchase and download titles in Dolby Vision such as Halo and A Quiet Place.

 

As movie and TV buffs ourselves, we understand that being immersed in a story – whether a movie, a show, or a documentary – involves more than staring at a screen. The Dolby Difference is about seeing, feeling, and connecting to the characters. That’s why Dolby has pushed the boundaries of color, contrast, brightness, and luminosity (glow), using the latest technology to create a feast for the eyes. So the viewing experience becomes more like looking through a window, rather than staring at a collection of pixels. Because your eyes deserve better.

Why you should watch Paramount+ TV shows and movies in Dolby Vision

Have you ever lost the thread of a TV or movie plot due to a scene that’s too dark or over-bright? Creators continue to push the boundaries of visual art with lighting and color. Until now, though, the creators’ intent has been limited by technology. But now fans can get a rich, immersive experience in mind-popping color and dynamic contrast for deeper detail with Dolby Vision.

 

Dolby Vision captures every visual nuance of your favorite shows and movies with ultravivid colors, sharper contrasts, and richer details. It does this by bringing darker blacks and brighter whites to your screen – sometimes all at once. Based on your service and device, it unlocks the full potential of HDR technology by dynamically optimizing the image quality to deliver mesmerizing visuals every time. This means that Top Gun: Maverick – as well as the classic original Top Gun – are available in captivating color that lets you catch every detail.
