Following the model of other platforms, Prime Video launched a while ago a cheap version of its subscription in which users had to watch ads to compensate for the low cost. Now two other restrictions have been announced that are added to this model with the elimination of two functions.

Amazon removed access to Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos options for all those who are subscribed to the lowest level of the platformwhich costs around 3 dollars. Initially, it was thought to be a technical error, but the application’s technical support confirmed that these functions had been removed.

Additionally, a spokesperson told The Verge that these two options are “only available in the ad-free option, on relevant titles.” This means that those who want to take advantage of the benefits of these technologies will need to pay for a different type of subscription, and not the cheapest one.

The app will not affect the quality of the images, but it will affect the features to improve it. (Amazon)

Streaming content requires not only a good internet connection and a television with good image quality. The experience is enhanced by other types of technologies that improve details and colors, such as Dolby Vision.

This feature allows you to view images with better contrast and brightness, giving a more natural and realistic quality.

While Dolby Atmos allows for a 360-degree surround sound experience thanks to three-dimensional spatial audio, giving more precision in the location and distance of the sound source.

While removing these two Prime Video features will not make movies and series look bad or be a problem for the user. Those who want a more complete and intimate experience will need to be able to configure all of these features.

This decision by Amazon is similar to the models that other platforms are taking, for example Netflix has an ad-supported plan that costs around $7 a month and only allows viewing content in 1080p (Full HD), even though productions are recorded in 4K.

These Netflix codes They work by inserting a unique number after the browser’s standard URL (https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/xxxx)where “xxxx” is where the user must place the particular code they wish to scan.

However, Codes are only available for the desktop versionalthough once the desired content has been identified, it can be added to favorites for later viewing on any device.

Featured categories and their respective codes include: Action & Adventure (1365), Animes (7424), Movies for the Whole Family (783)among many other more specific ones that cover a wide spectrum of interests and preferences.
