HDR10 = 10 bit. 1 Billion colors. STATIC METADATA
DOLBY VISION = 12 bit. 67 Billion colors. DYNAMIC METADATA

Nothing SLIGHT about it!

Are there TVs (or projectors) with 12 bit panels?
I think I knew there aren't (yet).

Having a better technical standard doesn't mean you're guaranteed to fully utilise it, I'm not saying it's good or bad just that you shouldn't assume it's guaranteed. It reminds me of when Jon Thompson argued how much better the Kino Lorber version of Silence of the lambs was despite having completely off colours for the start of the film.

You forgot peak brightness, that's not supported by most tellies or even embedded in the transfer initially.
HDR10+ is also dynamic, but it's all really unnecessary and often make everything look in clown colors. It's just a BS filter on top to convince those, that are not upgrading just for the resolution.

Luminance on 4K Blu-rays ranges from 1000- 10,000 nits. Most are between 1000 and 4000 nits.
Midrange 4K TVs will be around 600-1000 nits, Upper midrange = 1000-2000, High End = 2000-4000.
OLEDs have the hardest time with luminance. They only recently were able to get some high end models up to 2000 nits, but earlier OLEDS (3 years ago and longer) could only muster 500-1500 nits. (That's why 4K OLED vs. 4K LED was largely a choice between blacks vs. Luminance)

Ha! True. The even better argument with Kino is that maxxing out a bitrate doesn't mean you aren't maxxing out a crappy picture!
