Amazon Prime Video to stream HDR10+ on Samsung 4K TVs

From tomorrow (Wednesday 13th), owners of Samsung QLED and 4K TVs (US models only) will be able to stream HDR10+ through their set's Amazon Prime Video app, as reported by Yonhap News.

For the unititiated, HDR10+ is Samsung’s own high dynamic range format that, like rival Dolby Vision HDR, is all about adding dynamic metadata to a HDR signal. This differs to standard HDR10, the static metadata of which means the boundaries of brightness are set at the start of a film or show.

While Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats have been widely adopted across the likes of Netflx and Amazon Prime Video, this collaboration between Samsung and Amazon marks the first time HDR10+ will be available through a streaming service.
