Amazon Prime Videos ends Dolby Vision, Atmos support on basic plans in US

Amazon Prime Video has removed Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support from the ad-tier subscription, according to a report by The Verge. Users in select regions will have to pay additional $2.99 per month over the standard subscription to remove ads from the platform and watch content in Dolby Vision HDR and use Dolby Atmos surround sound.

Amazon spokesperson Katie Barker has confirmed to The Verge that the company has done this deliberately. “Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos capabilities are only available on the ad free option, on relevant titles,” said Barker in a statement to The Verge.
