* [[4G]] wireless broadband [[WiMAX]] versus [[LTE Advanced]].
* [[Power-line communication]] as an alternative to [[Wi-Fi]] or [[wired Ethernet]] for [[broadband]] [[home networking]] (LAN) purposes: [[IEEE 1901]], branded as [[HomePlug]] AV/AV2 and commercially marketed by networking hardware brands such as [[Devolo]], [[D-Link]], [[TP-Link]] and [[Zyxel]], vs. the more recent, but similar [[ITU]] standard [[G.hn]] promoted by some major [[ISP]]s and hardware manufacturers part of the [[HomeGrid Forum]] trade association.
* Premium Large Format (PLF) cinema: [[IMAX]] versus [[Dolby Cinema]] versus [[Barco Escape]] versus [[China Film Giant Screen]] versus [[Regal Entertainment Group|RPX]] versus [[Landmark Cinemas#Premium screens|Extra Experience]] versus [[Cineplex Entertainment#Premium formats|UltraAVX]].

* The [[ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020]] had defined 10 bit for each color channel for the future [[8K resolution|8K]] [[UHDTV]] in 2012. Dolby developed an extension for [[Dolby Cinema]] in 2014 where the new [[Dolby Vision]] format has a 12-bit [[color depth]] per channel. Dolby Vision is not [[royalty free]] so that Samsung developed an alternative [[HDR10+]] format for [[HDR video]] in 2017. Its rival LG does support Dolby Vision. With widespread availability of HDR television during 2018 it can be seen that products supporting Dolby Vision do also allow HDR10+ as input.
