But how much am I losing only havind DP-10 (on 65X850C) instead of Dolby protocol? Since Sony is adherent on DP-10 PS4Pro will probably use it right?

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).

From a relaxed perspective perhaps?
And if you already got laid, you don't need to overcompensate on the tv size/quality to impress the girl ;)

Why asking me? I am wondering myself if it is a typo or figure of speech.

He meant Layman's.... but we get the point. Typo or not his message was conveyed properly. English isnt everyone's first language you know?

Someone that is a layman but also can lay back with a woman... and also laid back (someone that won't do the hassle of research so he asks)

Thats something I would also like to know. Since I dont have a 4k tv yet, I really could not apreciate the play station meating. But digital foundry was impresed as hell. They said that checkerboard was really close to 4k and for such an underpower machine. 

The difference should be substantual and certainly superior to upscaling 1080P content, that can't really be disputed, twice the pixels of 1080P is being rendered here afterall.

Even though the pixel count is roughly in-line with that of 2560x1440/2560x1600, the result is slightly better than even that as there is no funky upscaling algorithm being used.
It's certainly not going to be 4k in quality, but it's still superior to 1080P and a little better than 1440P/1600P.

The real question though is it "Good enough"? For most gamers that would be a yes, now we just need the games to see what the hardware truly is capable of.

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
