LG rolls out Dolby Vision 120Hz update for 2021 OLED TVs
And with that said, the 2020 models will follow as well. The update will come later to 2020 OLED and possibly more models.
As promised, LG is bringing enhanced Dolby Vision gaming support to its OLED TVs in preparation for the launch of Dolby Vision games on Xbox. LG Korea stated that starting tomorrow, June 23, it will start a gradual rollout of firmware version 3.15.27 for the C1 and G1 2021 OLED models. The update will enable the TVs to receive and process Dolby Vision signals at up to 4K 120Hz. The firmware will also include new color options (purple, orange, green) for the Game Optimizer menu, a new Game Dashboard menu at the bottom of the screen, webOS 6.0 performance optimizations, and new Gallery features. In addition, C1 and G1 owners will no longer have to manually switch between having AMD FreeSync and Dolby Vision enabled. Following the update, you can have both enabled at the same time. The company added that it will soon, hopefully within a month, make similar firmware available in beta for some of the other 2021 models. A full list of models was not provided. Customers can contact their local LG office if they want the beta firmware before the public release.
LG Korea confirmed that support for Dolby Vision at 4K 120Hz is also coming to the CX and GX OLED models as well as some other 2020 models. This firmware is currently in testing. The company said that it expects to have beta firmware available for 2020 models before Dolby Vision games are made available on Xbox. Microsoft has not announced a launch date for Dolby Vision gaming. Lastly, LG said that it is "looking into" the possibility of supporting Dolby Vision at 4K 120Hz on 2019 models such as C9.

Have you tried Dolby Vision ? another feature for people who don't care about image quality, rather than the opposite as you would think.
What DV does is force colors brightness and contrats they "think" is better for the content, if you try to tweak your tv settings DV forces the opposite completely destroying the picture, in a way you normally can't even do.
Yet another marketing crap invented to sell new TVs and monitors.
Even tough I've got 60 4K HDR DV blurays I've never watched one with DV active it just looks worse than manual settings
I know on my LG 2018/19 it makes the Mandolorian look odd, and there are large black vertical bars on the screen during the dark/black sections of the show. it's very noticeable. Maybe it's user error, but i don't get the bars without Dolby Vision.

And yet, they still haven't update the web browser in all the 2017 OLED models.

just googled, plenty of articles on this, apparently several disney releases are SDR in an HDR wrapper, so they get the HDR-10 and DV tags but aren't really
I'm not a fan of HDR in the 1st place (some skys go from blue to blinding white between the HD and 4k HDR versions) but I had no idea there were fake HDRs out there

You're gonna love it. Have had our CX for a little over 6 months.
Sweet, I ordered a 48" C1 OLED last week. Wish it would hurry up and get here :p
