Disney+ gaining HDR10+ support will benefit your Samsung TV
Disney+ will soon add HDR10+ support to its mobile app, which will improve brightness and contrast when streaming compatible videos and TV shows.
MediaPlayNews reported that HDR10+ Technologies officially announced at CES today that the House of Mouse will be adding support for HDR10+ to the Disney+ app sometime in 2025. HDR10+ Technologies is an industry group founded by Samsung, Panasonic, and 20th Century Fox to promote the HDR10+ standard.
Bringing HDR10+ support to Disney+ will benefit Samsung, which supports HDR10+ on its TVs but not Dolby Vision. That’s hardly shocking considering the South Korean company co-created HDR10+ in partnership with Amazon.
Disney+ already supports both regular HDR10 and Dolby Vision. YouTube, Apple TV+, Hulu, Prime Video and Paramount+ also support the HDR10+ standard.
HDR10+ support is coming to Disney+
When this feature gets implemented sometime in 2025, the Disney+ app will play HDR+ videos in HDR+ instead of HDR10. The latest iPhones, iPads and the third-generation Apple TV 4K and newer support Dolby Vision, HLG and backward-compatible HDR10+ and HDR10.
The main difference between HDR10/HDR10+ and Dolby Vision is cost. Whereas HDR10+ does not charge a per-device royalty fee, Dolby Vision requires a licensing fee—the chief reason why many Samsung TVs support HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision.
Both technologies boost brightness and contrast compared with other HDR standards, with HDR10+ supporting a peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ achieve this by embedding dynamic metadata to optimize each frame for the capabilities of the target device.
A compatible TV uses the metadata to adjust picture quality on a frame-by-frame basis. This website provides a handy list of UHD Blu-Ray discs that support HDR10+.
