The PS4 will be backing HDR-10 and will not be supporting Dolby Vision HDR, this seems to be an industry wide thing at the moment.

Dolby Vision is obviously superior with a higher baseline in many aspects, for example 12bit colour rather than 10bit with HDR10.. Which means better colour gradients, less colour banding, Dolby is also more dynamic in that colour and brightness levels can be adjusted for every scene, where as HDR10 takes a more compromised approach.

As for how much you are loosing? Well. You don't really loose anything.
If you are happy with your picture now with non-HDR content, then you will also be happy with either HDR10 or Dolby Vision as both offer a marked improvement.
If your TV only supports HDR10(Which from a quick glance it does) then I wouldn't rush out and buy a new set with Dolby Vision support anyway, especially considering that Dolby Vision may be the next HD DVD.

In a few years, expect to see the successor to HDR10, aka. "HDR12" which should bring HDR10 in-line with Dolby Vision.

Thanks... so from a laid man approach I would say the investment of 400 on PS4Pro on the set I have will have real benefits right? (and I want to buy PSVR anyway, so it will be a better experience with Pro than normal)... I was wanting to buy a desktop to watch 4k movies, but both notebooks and desktops capable of at least processing 4k videos (not even play 4k games) are still very expensive in Brazil (we don't have outlets selling 4k discs here).

Yep. You will see some real benefits. :)

As for 4k movies, I wouldn't advise going to the PC route unless you are an enthusiast, 4k Blu-rays is a really messy situation at the moment untill all the various companies pull their fingers out.

You would be better served getting an Xbox One S once it goes on sale, it's simple and more elegent.

Yep, im exited. Good enough for me. 

Although that means Im about to spend like $1200 for gaming. Does that make me an enthusiast? :p

I don't think being an Enthusiast is defined by how much cash you throw at something, but how active/interested you are in a particular topic. :)
