There’s good news if you have a recently released Samsung<\/a> TV in your living room and love tuning into movies via Netflix<\/a>. The Korean technology company has just confirmed that some of its screens can now show content in picture-perfect HDR10+. This means those streaming compatible movies via Netflix<\/a> will get an experience that offers richer contrast, deeper colours and more visual depth.<\/p>\n

For those not aware, HDR10+ is a next-generation high dynamic range (HDR) technology that was pioneered by Samsung.<\/p>\n

It’s designed to optimise picture quality scene by scene by dynamically adjusting brightness and contrast levels. That means TVs with HDR10+ enable, ensure that each frame is displayed with perfect clarity and detail – it also helps content stay true to the creator\u2019s intent.<\/p>\n

\u201cHDR10+ enhances the way we watch content, delivering deeper contrast and more vibrant colours for a truly cinematic experience,\u201d said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. \u201cWe are excited to bring this technology to Netflix<\/a>\u2019s 300 million plus members and will continue collaborating with various partners to expand HDR10+ support across our product lineup and the broader streaming ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s been confirmed that HDR10+ content on Netflix<\/a> will be accessible on upcoming 2025 Samsung Neo QLED, OLED and Lifestyle TVs \u2014 as well as 2025 and 2024 monitor models.<\/p>\n

Samsung says that support for additional models will arrive in the future, although there’s no word on exactly when that will happen or which screens will be set for the upgrade.<\/p>\n

We’re also still awaiting an official release date for the latest 2025 Samsung models<\/a>. These all-new screens were first revealed all the way back in January at the CES technology show in Las Vegas and they should go on sale within the next few months.<\/p>\n

One final thing to remember is that HDR10+ is only available to those with a Netflix<\/a> Premium subscription, and the title being watched must be available in HDR10+ format.<\/p>\n

“We are excited to announce that we are now streaming HDR10+ content on our service for AV1-enabled devices, enhancing the viewing experience for certified HDR10+ devices, which previously only received HDR10 content,” Netflix<\/a> confirmed in a recent update.<\/p>\n

“The dynamic metadata included in our HDR10+ content improves the quality and accuracy of the picture when viewed on these devices.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There’s good news if you have a recently released Samsung TV in your living room and love tuning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5824,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7],"tags":[3080,451,542,3079,53,16,15],"class_list":["post-5823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-hdr10","tag-netflix","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-tv","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114308359370600186","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
