Unfortunately they don't support Dolby Vision for 4K UHD Blu-Rays.

Although there are clear distinctions between how HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision function, the visible difference between the three formats heavily depends on your display's content and capabilities. It's easy to say that Dolby Vision is the clear winner here since it offers colorists more tools that can lead to a better image when watching content at home, but not all HDR content is created equally. Oftentimes, the colors and highlights in HDR content aren't pushed very far, so there's barely any visible difference between the three formats with the same content viewed on the same TV since HDR is so dependent on the content itself.
HDR10+ and Dolby Vision offer very similar advantages when streaming your favorite shows and movies since the dynamic metadata of those formats is the main component that sets them apart from regular HDR10. The impact of the dynamic metadata found in HDR10+ and Dolby Vision is greater on low-end displays since budget models don't come close to matching the capabilities of a mastering monitor, and your TV needs to try to fit the parameters of the content you're watching within its capabilities. With higher-end TVs that have similar capabilities as a mastering monitor, the dynamic metadata doesn't make nearly as big of a difference. However, with content that pushes HDR to its fullest potential, you can start to see some of these visual differences on any television since no TV perfectly displays all HDR content."

If not, it will be best to go with the 420.
Dolby vision allows for higher HDR range.
Easiest way to put it:
HDR = Introduction of HDR.
HDR10/10+ = Better and more standard across a wide range of devices.
Dolby Vision = Highest standard of HDR performance in terms of brightness and colors.
Most companies have adopted this method by Disney, HBO, WB, Sony, Netflix, etc…..
Current TVs cannot even push the boundaries of Dolby Vision. It's a tech that will only improve with time. OLEDs and LED walls are the closest thing.

Well you kinda have it a little backwards.
HDR isn't dependent on the content itself, it's dynamic HDR that is dependent(built in) on it.
You're correct "not all HDR(static or dynamic) content is created equally".
The display has nothing to do with the quality.
It all comes down how each is created(transferred) & how well static HDR is tone mapped on how much difference there is between them.
A better quality display is a good thing for all of them.
Keep in mind current commercial displays can't even take full advantage of static HDR, let alone dynamic HDR.
I always check the open box items before leaving the store. Received an open box Rog Ally all messed up supposedly in "good condition". The manager exchanged it for a brand new one.

If you're on a budget, the 420 is the overall better buy imo.
DV is basically the only thing you'll miss over the 820.
The Optimizer is so good at tone mapping HDR, often the difference between it and DV/HDR10+ isn't very significant.
It easily rivals(if not surpass) streaming 4k DV content imo!
As a matter of fact the upscaling of BR often comes close to streaming 4k in my experience.
