it SHOULD support HDR as it has HDMI 2.0a but Dolby Vision is hardware addition.
Windows dont support HDR at the mo but Dev Preview coming up adds support.

If you look at the specs for Kaby Lake, they mention that it supports both HDR and DV, but it's left to the manufacturers to implement them. What does "implement" mean? I know that DV requires a hardware chip for it to work, but when Intel says that Kaby Lake supports it, does it mean that the chip has hardware support for it?

According to Matt McRae, CTO of Vizio (i.e. a Dolby Vision-compliant TV manufacturer), there is no specific Dolby Vision hardware chip, and "Dolby Vision is a format + processing/mapping software".

If people could have only enjoyed the 3D "experience" that has come (way to late) when watching it on a Passive 4K Oled TV, then maybe it was a whole different ballgame. But sins the 3D possibility was put on every sh!t quality TV that was brought on the market, it never got the enjoyment that could have been. All 3D TV criticizers that did take up my invitation to come and take a look, made a U-turn on there opinion, no one excepted. Not all criticizers took up my invitation though, they just shut up after my guests had shared there experience

So can you use one HTPC for 2 builds and choose one on startup depending on whether you prefer watching 2D or 3D and are all your movies in one library or do they have to be in 2 separate libraries. How is the best way to organize your movies? Or do you need two separate HTPC's with Kodi, one for 2D and one for 3D if you have MVC files? I'm really in the dark here with regard to setup. Any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Also do you think a NUC with windows10 is the best setup for 3D MVC playback with Kodi. Or might something else do a better job? Thanks.

All the Doom and Gloom is about the death of 3D TV Set manufacturing, you would expect 3D Blurays releases to continue if it costs nothing extra to burn them to a Disc.

Why passive over active?
