MINIX NEO U22-XJ Why does an unofficial Android box support Dolby Vision?

by norhor

So, Minix are coming out with two boxes, one with official Anrdoid TV, and one without. The first one(NEO T5) will not have Dolby Vision, but the other one will have it. I find this strange since Netflix and Prime Videos doesn't support DV on these boxes. So what are the benefit of this?

Really no benefit but to ignorant consumers it might seem like a good thing.

It's good for ripped blurays so no it's not at all useless like some casuals might believe.

The benefit is for people playing ripped movies, obvs.
