Samsung has announced that its premium 2018 QLED and UHD TVs have received HDR10+ certification. This certification is a significant milestone for Samsung, as it ensures that their televisions deliver superior picture quality with enhanced contrast and brightness, providing viewers with a more immersive and dynamic viewing experience.
Samsung also revealed that Warner Bros will start to create HDR10+ compatible content which will be available later this year. This collaboration is expected to bring a wide range of movies and TV shows in HDR10+ format, allowing consumers to enjoy their favorite content with the highest possible picture quality.
What is HDR10+?
HDR10+ is an advanced high dynamic range (HDR) technology that optimizes picture quality on a scene-by-scene or frame-by-frame basis. Unlike the standard HDR10, which uses static metadata, HDR10+ employs dynamic metadata to adjust brightness levels and contrast ratios dynamically. This results in more accurate and lifelike images, with better details in both dark and bright scenes.
The introduction of HDR10+ is a significant step forward in the evolution of television technology. It enhances the viewing experience by providing a more realistic and immersive picture quality, making it ideal for watching movies, sports, and other high-definition content.
“The introduction of the HDR10+ certification logo represents the groundwork that we are setting for the ultra-high picture quality TV market,” said Doochan Eum, Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “By making use of our leading technology and expertise, we will continue to extend our valuable partnerships while maintaining our commitment to providing consumers with best HDR content possible.”
Partnerships and Future Developments
Among Samsung’s notable HDR10+ partnerships, TP Vision, which oversees Philips TV development, manufacturing, and marketing, will introduce HDR10+ to its entire lineup of 4K TVs next year. This partnership is expected to expand the availability of HDR10+ technology to a broader range of consumers, making it more accessible to those looking for high-quality viewing experiences.
Additionally, V-Silicon (formerly Sigma Designs) will show a demo of HDR10+ in its private booth at IFA 2018. This demonstration will showcase the capabilities of HDR10+ technology and its potential to revolutionize the television industry. By collaborating with industry leaders and innovators, Samsung aims to drive the adoption of HDR10+ and set new standards for picture quality.
The adoption of HDR10+ by major content creators and TV manufacturers is a testament to its potential to become the new standard for HDR technology. As more companies embrace HDR10+, consumers can expect to see a growing library of HDR10+ content and a wider range of compatible devices.
