If you have a Samsung TV, you might get an even better photo of your Netflix subscription, thanks to a free software upgrade that is being rolled out.
From now on, Smart TVs and monitors of the brand -supporting TV series and films with HDR10+ Support. Simply put, this technology offers a higher contrast and brightness, with lifelike colors and details.
However, this upgrade is not available on all Samsung TVs and monitors -it is for 2025 Samsung Neo Qled, OLED and Lifestyle -TVs and monitors from 2025 and 2024. Therefore, if you have a TV older than this year, or a monitor older than last year, you will not get that new HDR10+ Netflix -function
But that does not mean that it will not get on the line …
Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, gave the following quote in the press release: “We are delighted to bring this technology to the 300 million members of Netflix and will continue to work with various partners to expand HDR10+ Streaming system in our production arrangement and the Broadfeing Support.”
According to TechRadar, the reason is that some TVs are not supported by Netflix using the AV1 codec for HDR10+ content, which was not built into some older models of Samsung.
This website currently states some of the HDR10+ supported titles on the platform, including Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Bird Box. The film must make a list whether it has that format or not when you click on the page on your Samsung -TV.
