Prime Video Removes Additional Features Unless You Pay Extra
Amazon’s Prime Video has rolled out an additional change to its service that removes Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos surround sound unless you pay extra. This follows the introduction of ads to Prime Video in January.
Now, the only way for Prime Video subscribers to remove the ads and bring back Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos is to pay $3 extra per month. The website 4KFilme first discovered that the features were locked behind a paywall.
A spokesperson for Prime Video confirmed to The Verge: “Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos capabilities are only available on the ad-free option, on relevant titles.”
