Dolby Vision on HDR10-only projectors & TVs with the HDfury Vertex² (LLDV)

The most popular thing Vertex² owners do: make an Apple TV 4K, Shield, Xbox or UHD Blu-ray player output Low-Latency Dolby Vision (LLDV) — Dolby Vision that is tone-mapped by the player, scene by scene — and hand it to a projector or TV that only understands HDR10. Below: how it works, the exact Vertex² settings, source and display settings, a troubleshooting list, and a table of 50+ projectors and 50+ TVs with recommended values.

1. How LLDV on an HDR10 display works

Dolby Vision comes in two flavours. TV-led (standard) DV sends the raw picture plus dynamic metadata inside an 8-bit RGB "tunnel" and lets the TV do the tone mapping — this only works on Dolby Vision displays. Player-led / Low-Latency Dolby Vision (LLDV) lets the source do the DV composition and tone mapping and sends the result as a normal 12-bit YCbCr 4:2:2 stream with a PQ (ST.2084) transfer function — which is exactly what an HDR10 display can show.

The trick is that a source only outputs LLDV if the display's EDID says it is a Dolby Vision (LLDV) sink. The Vertex² sits between source and display and presents a custom EDID with a Dolby Vision data block that describes your display: primaries, minimum and maximum luminance (Tmin / Tmax). The player then tone-maps every scene to those limits and sends LLDV. The Vertex² adds (or keeps) an HDR10 infoframe so your projector or TV switches into its HDR mode. As one AVForums owner puts it: "The Vertex² does nothing to the signal except spoof the EDID of the sink — the source does all the work."

The result is dynamic, per-scene tone mapping on a display that natively only has a single static HDR10 curve. That matters most on projectors (100–350 real nits) and on HDR10-only TVs like every Samsung, where DV-only streaming titles would otherwise fall back to static HDR10.

Is it worth it? Owners of older JVC X-series, Sony VW-series, Epson UB/LS and BenQ/Optoma DLP projectors overwhelmingly say yes — "a big step up from static HDR10", "rivals madVR/Lumagen for a fraction of the price". On displays that already have excellent dynamic tone mapping (JVC Frame Adapt, madVR/Lumagen owners, good OLEDs) the gain is smaller, and one reviewer measured worse colour accuracy from Apple TV LLDV than from native HDR10. Try both — the Vertex² lets you switch with one EDID change.

2. What you need

3. Vertex² setup step by step

All settings are in the Vertex² web server (type the IP address shown on the OLED into any browser — see the manual page on accessing the web server). Two routes exist: the quick route with a fixed Custom EDID, and the tunable route with Automix + a custom DV string. Start with the quick route; move to the tunable one if you want to set your own nits.

EDID tab — quick route: pick a fixed LLDV EDID

Set EDID mode = Custom and for each input you use, choose:

  • 10 – Custom [SONY A1 LLDV BT2020] — BT.2020 primaries, full audio. Recommended for almost every projector and TV; it avoids the red push that DCI-P3 primaries cause.
  • 5 – Custom [SONY A1 LLDV V2] — DCI-P3 primaries. Use only if your display runs a calibrated DCI-P3 profile (e.g. JVC with the colour filter).
  • 9 – Custom (Panasonic OLED, full DV incl. LLDV, HDR10+) — used by some Samsung Premiere / 7.1-audio setups.
  • Never choose EDIDs labelled "HDR" only (11–13, 20–22) — they don't advertise Dolby Vision, so the player will not send LLDV.

Click SEND, then restart the source. With a fixed Custom EDID the values on the DV tab are not used.

EDID tab — tunable route: Automix + custom DV string

Set EDID mode = Automix. Video flags: tick the output your projector/TV is on (usually TX0). Audio flags: Stereo or Audio System depending on where your AVR is connected. Under DV flags select DV CUSTOM STRING (DV tab). Now the DV tab defines what the source sees. Tip: afterwards you can click "save active EDID as Custom EDID 10" to freeze the result and assign it per input.

HDR/DV tab — build the Dolby Vision data block

  • DV interface: Low Latency 12-bit YCbCr 4:2:2 (safe for every display; the "+ RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4" variant is not accepted as HDR by some TVs, e.g. Samsung 8K).
  • Primaries: ITU-R BT.2020-2 (default). DCI-P3 only if your display is calibrated to P3 — otherwise expect a red/magenta tint. Advanced users type the measured primaries of their display.
  • Max luminance (Tmax): start at 1000 nits. Projector owners tune it down to the real peak (JVC lamp 300–400, Epson LS12000 ≈ 332, DLP UST 500–600); very bright DLPs and Samsung Premiere use 4000–10,000. 10,000 effectively hands tone mapping back to the display.
  • Min luminance (Tmin): 0.005 for projectors/LCD, 0.0005 for OLED; avoid 0 (black clipping/elevation).
  • Click CREATE, then SEND DV. The values are written into the EDID; the form itself does not remember them after reload — that is normal.

Reference strings owners use: EB:01:46:D0:00:45:1B:81:56:98:A9:53 = BT.2020, 0.005–1000 nits (Epson TW9400); EB:01:46:D0:00:45:03:80:86:60:76:8F = 900 nits, …03:40:86… = 500 nits, …03:28:86… = 350 nits.

HDR/AVI tab — inject HDR10 metadata when the input is LLDV

Tick "Use custom HDR for TX0 and TX1 when input is LLDV". This is the switch that makes your projector/TV enter HDR mode. Fill the custom HDR metadata: EOTF SMPTE ST 2084, Primaries ITU-R BT.2020-2 (same as the DV tab — mixing BT.2020 and P3 between the tabs causes red push), White point D65, Max luminance = your Tmax (1000), Min 0.005, MaxCLL = Tmax, MaxFALL = 400 (or 100 / 40 for 100-nit setups). Click CREATE IF, then SEND HDR.

Most projectors (JVC, Epson, Sony) ignore the luminance fields — only the HDR flag matters. DLPs with dynamic tone mapping (BenQ, Samsung Premiere) do react, which is why some owners set 10,000 nits here. JVC owners who switch modes via RS-232 macros leave this box unticked and use the MACROS page instead. See the manual: HDR/DV section for every field.

SCALER tab

Autoscaling, tick "do not upscale for TX0", colour and deep colour "Follow". For 10 Gbps displays (Epson 5040UB/TW9300/LS10500, Sony VW260/360/550) limit the output to 4K24 4:2:2 12-bit or 4K60 4:2:0, otherwise you get 8-bit banding. See manual: SCALER.

CONFIG tab (optional)

Enable the OSD "Rx flags" so the received format (LLDV) is shown on screen; set HDCP output to 1.4 for quicker syncs with older gear; use Export config when asking for help so others can see your exact values.

7. Projector list — recommended Vertex² LLDV settings

Every projector here supports HDR10 but not Dolby Vision (unless marked DV native), so the Vertex² LLDV method applies. Values are starting points collected from HDfury pages and owner reports; always fine-tune Tmax to taste. Owner = quoted from a real user, Official = HDfury/manufacturer, Starting point = derived from the generic recipe and the projector's specs (no public owner report found yet).

8. TV list — recommended Vertex² LLDV settings

Peak-brightness figures are approximate 10 %-window values from published reviews (RTINGS, HDTVTest) — verify for your exact size. Rule of thumb used: Tmax = the panel's real peak (never 10,000 — that disables player tone mapping), Tmin 0.0005 for OLED / 0.05 for FALD LCD / 0.1 for edge-lit, BT.2020 primaries unless the panel covers less than ~85 % P3, and custom HDR MaxCLL = Tmax, MaxFALL ≈ 0.4 × Tmax so the TV's own tone mapper stays idle.

9. What Vertex² adds on TVs that already have Dolby Vision

10. Samsung-specific notes

No Samsung TV supports Dolby Vision — they use HDR10+ instead — which makes Samsung owners the biggest group using LLDV for DV-only titles (iTunes/Apple TV+ DV, Netflix DV profile 5, Disney+, Xbox DV games). Reports from S95C (Arcana + Shield, "1300 nits peak instead of 1000"), The Premiere LSP9T (Vertex²) and Q900R owners confirm the TV accepts the 12-bit 4:2:2 LLDV stream as HDR10.

11. Troubleshooting & gotchas

12. FAQ

Does this give my projector "real" Dolby Vision?

It gives you Dolby Vision's dynamic, per-scene tone mapping, performed by the player against the limits you set for your display. The display itself still runs in HDR10 mode. For projectors and HDR10-only TVs that is the only way to get DV content's dynamic metadata used at all.

Which Vertex² EDID should I start with?

Custom EDID 10 (Sony A1 LLDV BT2020). Switch to Automix + custom DV string when you want your own Tmax/Tmin.

Which Tmax value?

1000 nits is the universal starting point. Projector owners then reduce it toward the real peak (300–600); bright DLPs and Samsung Premiere go higher. Never 10,000 unless you deliberately want the display to do the tone mapping.

Can a cheap EDID-spoofing splitter do the same?

A €25 EDID-flashable splitter can trigger LLDV, but it cannot rewrite the HDR infoframe, set Tmax per input, switch EDIDs per source or drive RS-232 macros — which is exactly what makes the result usable on a projector.

Does it work with HDR10+?

HDR10+ passes through untouched as long as you use the LLDV-only trigger. Samsung owners typically run LLDV for DV-only titles and native HDR10+ for everything else.

Does the Vertex² add lag?

Under 1 ms. LLDV itself is Dolby's low-latency profile, designed for gaming.
