HD Fury Delivers Dolby Vision to Projector Owners
While 4K Ultra HD has brought significant improvements to the home theatre experience, it's also brought with it a fair share of challenges.
Reproducing HDR (High Dynamic Range) images with peak luminance values of 1,000 nits or with any level of competence on a projector capable of producing around 100 nits is an entirely different matter.
While an easy task for Dolby Vision capable LED/LCD and OLED TV owners, projector owners have all been left “in the dark”. But it looks like this may be set to change thanks to HD Fury and a group of dedicated home theatre enthusiasts.
The addition of an HD Fury Vertex 2 ($829), HDFury Diva18Gbps ($949), Maestro ($925.00 – $1,825), Integral 2 ($529) or Linker ($329), to a compatible source such as Apple TV and certain 4K disc players- Dolby Vision (LLDV) can now be sent to compatible projectors and televisions.
More details on how to implement the 'hack' and which HD Fury product is compatible with your projector can be found here.
Early impressions from enthusiasts are promising, and we're keen to put it to the test ourselves so stay tuned.
HD Fury's range of scalers can be purchased from Australian distributor EZYHD here.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
