Key Highlights
Netflix adds HDR10+ support alongside HDR10 and Dolby Vision, enhancing per-frame image quality with dynamic metadata.
HDR10+ requires compatible devices supporting HDR10+ and the AV1 codec for optimized streaming quality.
Major brands like Samsung and Hisense back HDR10+, enabling broader adoption across devices.
Netflix has expanded its HDR offerings by introducing support for HDR10+, alongside HDR10 and Dolby Vision. This addition allows for dynamic metadata adjustments on a per-frame basis, enhancing image flexibility and overall picture quality similar to Dolby Vision. However, to take advantage of HDR10+, users must have a compatible smart TV or streaming device that supports both HDR10+ and the efficient AV1 codec.
Major manufacturers such as Samsung, Hisense, Philips, and TCL are actively promoting HDR10+ compatibility, ensuring a broader range of devices can utilize the new format. The AV1 codec, standardized by the Alliance for Open Media in 2018, plays a crucial role in this upgrade by providing improved image quality, reduced loading times, and the ability to stream at higher resolutions more consistently.
