Streaming service Disney+ is set to gain support for HDR10+ in the near future, according to an announcement made at CES by HDR10+ Technologies (via MediaPlayNews). HDR10+ offers improved brightness and contrast compared to HDR10, and unlike Dolby Vision, there are no licensing fees.

Disney+ already supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, but HDR10+ titles will be coming to the service in 2025. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are similar, but some TV sets don't support Dolby Vision due to the licensing fees. Samsung TVs, for example, don't offer Dolby Vision content, so Samsung TV owners can look forward to better quality when streaming HDR10+ Disney+ content.

The latest Apple TV 4K supports HDR10+, as do Apple's newer iPhone and iPad models. Many streaming services also already offer HDR10+ content, including Apple TV+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube.

I wish on iPhones they allowed hdr content to use the extra brightness and not be so dark, it’s been an issue on iOS for years, hdr content is so dark and doesn’t use the iPhone extra bits for hdr

Why? HDR10+ is just a generic, inferior imitation of Dolby Vision.

Also, Samsung should just start offering Dolby Vision on their TVs. It's insane that they refuse to pay the licensing fee. It's only like $3 per unit, which any reasonable customer would be willing to pay. It's a shame because Samsung's TVs are otherwise quite good. But their lack of Dolby Vision support is a massive dealbreaker. I, and many other potential customers, refuse to buy Samsung TVs due to their lack of Dolby Vision.

You're supposed to have your phone set to max brightness when watching HDR content on an iPhone.

It shouldn't look "too dark" on iOS. If something is dark, then it's intended to be dark.

wrong, im always on max brightness, and HDR on disneyplus looks so dark on iPhones, if I put it into low power mode it fixes it, no way it should be that dark, I have a oled LG G3 and trust me it isnt meant to be dark, its an issue with the app and even the Apple TV app it doesnt allow HDR to use the extra brightness, I also tune and calibrate tvs for years

You probably have your LG G3 set to an uncalibrated "vivid" mode or something, thus twisting your perception.

iOS's HDR is quite accurate. A calibrated LG G3 should look quite similar to an iPhone when playing HDR content.

Well, this pushes me in a clear direction for my next tv glad Panasonic is coming back to the us. I believe it is the only or one of the few oleds to support hgr10+, hlg, and Dolby vision.

I can finally replace my old Panasonic plasma with a new Panasonic (LG) OLED. Still waiting for Costco to carry them though (want that 5 year warranty). They only have the 65-inch mini LED right now for $800.

HDR content plays very bright for me. In fact, sometimes it’s so bright I have to turn the brightness down, it’s almost blinding sometimes.

That’s nice. I’m still not reactivating my sub.
One price hike too many, Disney, and I’m not sticking around for Skeleton Crew.

I was in the same boat but couldn't pass up the S89C last year with a firmware tweak to match the S95C brightness. It's an incredible TV and I honestly don't miss Dolby Vision one bit (coming from an LG that has DV). It's VERY hard to tell the difference between 10+ and DV (and even regular HDR to a lesser extent), especially with streaming content which can be all over the map in terms of general quality, source tone-mapping, remastering, etc. I do agree, Samsung should just pay the piper and license DV because they would sell a lot more TVs, but I don't agree that it should actually be a deal breaker. 99.99% of the time, you simply can't tell the difference. Also, Samsung's RGB OLED color volume and panel uniformity are no joke and well worth the trade for DV if you don't have the cash to shell out for a Sony A95L, in my opinion.

I don’t care what anyone says HDR 10+ looks extremely better than Dolby vision and it’s oversaturatedness.

I agree 100%. I have been slammed for saying the same thing on the AVSforums, but I just really do NOT like Dolby Vision in comparison.

"Extremely better". Oh please. When I see a grossly unsupported exaggeration such as this, credibility goes down the drain and ignore file count goes up by one.
