Samsung TV owners are in for a treat as Netflix is rolling out a free software upgrade that promises an enhanced viewing experience. This upgrade introduces HDR10+ support for selected Samsung smart TVs and monitors, delivering richer contrast, brighter colors, and true-to-life details.
The improved HDR10+ feature is currently available for 2024 and 2025 Samsung Neo QLED, OLED, and Lifestyle TVs, as well as monitors from the same years. If you own an older model, don’t fret just yet—Samsung hints at potential future updates for broader compatibility.
Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, expressed excitement about bringing this technology to over 300 million Netflix members. Collaborations with partners aim to expand HDR10+ support across Samsung’s product range and the wider streaming ecosystem.
However, not all Samsung TVs are supported due to Netflix’s use of the AV1 codec for HDR10+ content, which may be absent in older models. To check HDR10+ compatibility, visit a website that lists current titles supporting this feature, such as Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and Bird Box.
As Samsung and Netflix continue to enhance viewing experiences, Samsung TV owners can look forward to potential updates and collaborations that enrich their entertainment journeys. Stay tuned for more developments in the ever-evolving world of streaming technology.
