Netflix has announced its plan to add support for HDR10+ streaming<\/a> in addition to its existing HDR10 and Dolby Vision<\/a> formats. This addition is expected to enhance visual fidelity, particularly in Netflix’s often dark original content, by offering improved per-frame quality.<\/p>\n The company is implementing HDR10+ using the AV1 codec, a specification that was originally released in 2018<\/a> and has become the standard for streaming 4K video efficiently. Initially, Netflix adopted AV1 to help customers save data<\/a> while streaming on mobile devices, but it also facilitates the streaming of large HDR files. Netflix is starting by enabling HDR10+ on select popular titles and aims to eventually offer all HDR content in this new format. Users with a Netflix Premium subscription and devices that support both HDR10+ and AV1 (including most modern smartphones and tablets) will be able to enjoy compatible content in HDR10+.<\/p>\n Following the introduction of 4K resolution, high dynamic range (HDR) has become a defining feature of modern TV and movies, especially in the context of streaming services. HDR content highlights the stark contrasts between light and dark areas of an image, a feature that is often lost without HDR support. The expectation that audiences will be viewing content on HDR-capable devices has led to a prevalence of dark, muted visuals in modern streaming TV, which can appear under-exposed and muddy on non-HDR devices. With HDR, viewers can appreciate the nuanced shades of gray that have become characteristic of prestige TV.<\/p>\n Netflix first introduced support for HDR in 2016<\/a> with the release of Marco Polo<\/em>, and since then, it has made supporting Dolby Vision and HDR10, the most common HDR format, a standard on its platform. While viewers already using Dolby Vision may not notice a significant difference, those with TVs that only offer HDR10+ will likely experience an improvement in their viewing experience once HDR10+ support is added.<\/p>\n\n Introduction to HDR10+ Streaming on Netflix Netflix has announced its plan to add support for HDR10+ streaming in addition to its existing HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats.
