Amazon Prime Video subscribers who remain on the service’s ad-supported tier may find their streaming quality has been compromised.
I’ve got bad news if you’re an Amazon Prime Video subscriber who hasn’t opted for the company’s new ad-free tier. Not only are you starting to see ads before you get to binge the latest season of Reacher, but you also won’t be getting the show streamed in Dolby’s most advanced formats — Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
First reported by German website 4KFilme, then corroborated by Forbes in the U.K., it seems that Amazon has removed Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos from its free streaming tier, making the formats exclusive to those who opt-in to the $3 per month ad-free premium subscription.
