Netflix has announced the expansion of its streaming content to include support for HDR10+, adding to its existing support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision, thereby offering viewers more options while enhancing detail in scenes dominated by darker tones.
Additionally, Netflix has adopted Google’s AV1 codec to deliver HDR10+ content, significantly reducing data transmission requirements for high-resolution video streaming.
Currently, HDR10+ support is prioritized for select popular titles, but the format will gradually be extended to all Netflix content that originally supports HDR playback. However, access to this enhanced viewing experience requires a subscription to the Netflix Premium plan and a compatible device—such as a smartphone, tablet, or television—that supports HDR10+.
Netflix first introduced HDR playback in its streaming service in 2016 and later added support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision. The latest inclusion of HDR10+ underscores the company’s commitment to aligning with evolving industry standards and expanding its library of supported video formats. This enables users with the latest devices to enjoy content with greater nuance in grayscale gradation and more lifelike color and light rendering across various HDR technologies.
