Disney+ Updated To Offer HDR10+ On Samsung TVs
Disney+ subscribers who use select Samsung TVs will be the first to support HDR10+ content across Disney+ and Hulu titles with an update that is available now.
This update provides an even more immersive viewing experience, with dynamic contrast, richer colours and enhanced picture quality that bring your favourite content to life.
HDR10+ is a next-generation high dynamic range (HDR) technology. It uses dynamic metadata to optimise visuals scene-by-scene, while reacting in real-time to the ambient lighting in your space. By dynamically adjusting brightness and contrast, HDR10+ ensures every frame is displayed with exceptional clarity that stays true to the creator’s intent.
Disney+ also offers access to over 1,000 Hulu titles in HDR10+ within the Disney+ app, with additional Disney+ and Hulu content coming in the future.
Inbeom Kim, Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, said in a statement regarding the update:
“HDR10+ revolutionizes the way we enjoy content, offering enhanced contrast and more vivid colors for an unparalleled viewing experience. We are delighted to introduce this technology onto Disney+ and remain committed to collaborating with various partners to broaden HDR10+ support across our product range and the wider streaming landscape.”
HDR10+ content on Disney+ will be accessible via Samsung Crystal UHD TVs and above, from 2018 onward, as well as select Samsung Smart Monitors. That includes the latest 2025 Samsung screens across Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, OLED, The Frame Pro, The Frame, QLED and most recently, Samsung Micro RGB – the first TV to cover 100% of the UHD spectrum with 100% accuracy.
In order to get HDR10+, you’ll need to make sure your Disney+ app is updated to the latest version on compatible Samsung TVs.
Roger’s Take: For Samsung TV users, this is excellent news and highlights the continued efforts to offer Disney+ subscribers the best experience available.
