"Upconvert DVDs
From legendary epics to of-the-moment sci-fi masterpieces--Ultra HD Blu-ray Playback (4K/HDR) renders films in vibrant, expressive color, supporting multiple HDR formats such as HDR10, which is the standard HDR format for films, and UHD Blu-ray discs. The newly supported HDR playback of HDR10+/ Dolby VisionTM dynamic metadata technology to faithfully reproduce stunning HDR images."
Re-reading this, does not mention anything about upconvert.. other than section title.
I'm still waiting for the Dolby Vision upgrade to my LD UHD player from years ago!!
This is the 420/450.

You gain DV but you lose the HCX and Optimizer processing.
If all you will play is DV content, this makes sense.
With anything else you lose out.
Having compared the two it depends but even with a Oled I thought overall Panasonic was slightly better.
Same holds true with tone mapping HDR10 content, the optimizer does a great job.
This is why the 420 is pretty much a must have for projectors.
Keep in mind Panasonic uses the HCX chip in their Oled display which are highly regarded displays.
Their new Oleds have a new HCX chip, will be interesting to see if they come out with a new player with it.🤔

DV versus HDR on streaming is identically bad.
On physical media at fully uncompressed everything, with a mid to high end tv, the difference is dolby vision is about 10 percent "better". It's a matter of the details in the bright areas. It's not a jump out a window if you don't have it, but it's better....ish.
