When Netflix announced last week that it has started streaming HDR10+ videos on its app, we said that the feature will likely arrive on Samsung TVs soon. Today, Samsung has formally announced tha arrival of Netflix's HDR10+ video streaming to its TVs and smart monitors.
Samsung's compatible smart TVs and smart monitors now support streaming movies, TV shows, and other video content from Netflix in the HDR10+ format. HDR10+ is an upgrade over HDR10 that was previously available on Netflix on Samsung's devices. It offers deeper colors, more dynamic range, richer contrast, and more visual depth compared to the SDR and HDR10 format.

There is some bad news, though. Samsung says HDR10+ streaming from Netflix is currently only available on its Neo QLED, QLED Lifestyle, and OLED TVs launched in 2025 and smart monitors launched in 2024 and 2025. This means older TVs like the legendary S90C and the S95D do not support HDR10+ video streaming on Netflix right now. Hopefully, HDR10+ streaming support will be added to older TVs and smart monitors in the future.
Samsung says it is working with more industry partners to expand support for HDR10+. Apple TV+ already supports HDR10+ on select titles, while Disney+ recently announced that the platform will offer HDR10+ streaming on supported devices.
Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Samsung's TV division (Samsung Visual Display), said, “HDR10+ enhances the way we watch content, delivering deeper contrast and more vibrant colors for a truly cinematic experience. We are excited to bring this technology to Netflix’s 300 million plus members and will continue collaborating with various partners to expand HDR10+ support across our product lineup and the broader streaming ecosystem.“
HDR10+ is a dynamic metadata format for high dynamic range videos. Unlike HDR10, which only supports static metadata, HDR10+ offers frame-by-frame or scene-by-scene (dynamic) metadata. Moreover, HDR10 only supports up to 1,000 nits peak brightness, while HDR10+ increases that to 10,000 nits.
In a way, HDR10+ is extremely similar to Dolby Vision, thanks to its support for dynamic metadata and peak brightness of 10,000 nits. However, HDR10+ is royalty free, while Dolby Vision is a proprietary format that brands need to license to use. HDR10+ was co-developed by Samsung and Amazon Video (Prime Video) in 2017. It was then adopted by 20th Century Fox and Panasonic and then by Universal Pictures and Warner Brothers.
HDR10+ is now supported by a majority of Hollywood movie studios and video streaming platforms. HDR10+ is available on all recently launched Samsung TVs, many Android smartphones and tablets, and several video streaming devices.
