During CES 2025, Disney made an important announcement about its video streaming service. It announced that Disney+ will soon support the HDR10+ standard, which is great news for people who have Samsung phones, tablets, and TVs.

Disney+ will soon get HDR10+ support

Disney+ will soon start streaming video content in HDR10+ on its apps. It already supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, but it will now also stream videos in HDR10+, bringing dynamic range metadata to Samsung smartphones, tablets, and TVs.

HDR10+ is similar to Dolby Vision, as it offers dynamic range metadata on a frame-by-frame basis. However, the standard is royalty-free and was co-developed by 20th Century Fox, Amazon, Panasonic, and Samsung. Despite being free, Dolby Vision is currently more popular, as it is adopted by more production houses, device manufacturers, and streaming services.

Amazon's Prime Video was the first video streaming service to adopt HDR10+. In 2023, Apple TV+ adopted the HDR10+ standard for content produced in-house. Now, Disney+ has adopted it. Netflix still doesn't support HDR10+. It only supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

If you don't know already, Samsung devices don't support Dolby Vision. So, if a video is unavailable in HDR10+, it would fall back to regular HDR10 (or even SDR) on Samsung devices.

Hulu, Paramount+, and YouTube also support HDR10+ but have very limited content in that format. EA released its game Dragon Age: The Vailguard in HDR10+. Intel also supports HDR10+ on its ARC GPUs. ATSC 3.0 (also known as NextGen TV), which is a terrestrial television broadcasting standard, also supports HDR10+.

Hopefully, more content will be distributed in HDR10+ in the future.
