Is Dolby Vision 2 actually a breakthrough, or just the next marketing gimmick to sell 2026 TVs?

When I was buying a TV recently, I saw a lot of people discussing Dolby Vision 2. Many are worried that hardware limitations will prevent it from supporting DV2 because DV2 requires a new chip (like the MediaTek Pentonic 800). I'm curious about the advantages of DV2. How significant is its improvement?

On current OLED or Mini-LED panels, is this improvement truly perceptible? Or is it just a gimmick by manufacturers to entice users to upgrade their TVs? I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading to the QM8L with the latest, more expensive, and higher-end chip (MediaTek Pentonic 800) just for DV2? What do you all think?
