Projectors With Dolby Vision

Dolby Vision on a projector is almost entirely a smart-projector feature: the Chinese-designed lifestyle and laser-TV platforms license it, and the Japanese home-theater brands mostly do not, preferring HDR10+ and their own per-scene tone mapping. Neither approach is wrong, but if your library is Dolby Vision-first, the choice narrows fast.

How this list is ordered: Every projector listing Dolby Vision support, ordered by price. 17 of the catalog’s projectors qualify. 3 of them are no longer sold by their makers — XGIMI Horizon S Pro, XGIMI Horizon S Max, AWOL Vision LTV-3500 Pro — and are listed after the models still on sale, kept for comparison.
