HDR10+ is coming to the Apple TV app, a big win for Samsung TVs

[{"selector":"#anim-6f8cae6b-987b-4a43-adf5-33c2416502c1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7038b60d-b478-41e3-acdc-dcc7329542e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Apple tvOS 16 upgrade gave Apple TV 4K users some much-needed upgrades. Now, they're getting another one.

[{"selector":"#anim-4d4c7fbb-841d-4081-86f1-2e31c0c5e446","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f94be022-6812-429f-a2a7-59cd89a54e17 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Apple quietly rolled out tvOS 16 HDR 10+ support. HDR10+ is an HDR standard for video content just like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision

[{"selector":"#anim-0b85f9c2-d5eb-4272-bee1-b328fb2cb134","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5660cb40-7fb8-4034-822b-e8d4e13f2194 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Apple tvOS already supported the standards but had not yet adopted HDR10+. .

[{"selector":"#anim-b7afa2bd-c79f-430d-b4e5-3ef9821ee760","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ac083ec-bc4c-4060-a199-139ea76d8e73 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(11.76470581705412%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] 800

HDR10+ designed largely by Samsung,because Dolby Vision is not free to use

[{"selector":"#anim-2ea512bf-08e7-473b-9b4f-c6aea125f232","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-24925490-099e-446d-a9f2-62223cd62200 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

To use DolbyVision, companies must license it, unlike HDR10, which is an open standard.

[{"selector":"#anim-3be1bc64-fb1b-4088-8a7d-07f8f60ee024","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3e480430-ee45-4484-ad1d-a4875fc01b2b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Google is also working on its own to make HDR10+ variant named Project Caviar

[{"selector":"#anim-24afc648-ac86-4e48-a7f7-06337f035843","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-09d83678-5c48-4b8c-b3da-e7eeef71036b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(22.643889781203463%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The streaming box now supports HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+, so you can watch with whatever HDR-capable you have

[{"selector":"#anim-dba4a662-ce30-4ea7-8298-6a1253881089","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eddf444b-610f-4407-a546-2de4d3c5ab7e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

You don't need to do anything to enable HDR10+ on your Apple TV 4K or Samsung Smart TV Apple, it will be enabled automatically

[{"selector":"#anim-1ce67ccf-28ec-4504-86ed-1c97bc91abef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-50810afd-8a7f-4b4d-90c5-39a03f0d7427 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
