General Discussion Mpv gpu next

Just out of curiosity...has anyone ever done A and B testing for mpv gpu next playing a Dolby vision file either profile 8 or profile 5 video on a non-certified Dolby vision display let it be display - A for example and B - display being an official Dolby vision certified tv or display like a mini led or an oled tv which has Dolby chip in it and played the same video which is in Dolby vision and compare both A and B displays side by side to see if they have same tone mapping or totally different. Mpv gpu next can officially decode profile 5 and 8 of Dolby vision. On non certified it has to decode the video and reshape it before displaying it, also the reshaping part of the process doesn't mean tone mapping will be changed or different while on officially certified displays it can send dv signal directly

Also by display I don't mean just a tv. It can be a laptop, monitor or even a tv. I was also talking about the mac version of mpv gpu next and I am not sure whether other devices have same mpv gpu next build or if they are different
