Netflix upgrades millions of TVs giving them free picture quality boost – easy check shows if you’re eligible

Netflix upgrades millions of TVs giving them free picture quality boost – easy check shows if you’re eligible

NETFLIX has given a free picture quality boost to millions of Samsung TVs, phones and tablets.

A simple check will show you if you're eligible to receive it.

Samsung 4K TV deal
The streaming giant has pledged to make all HDR titles available in HDR10+ by the end of this year

Netflix's highest definition picture setting is Dolby Vision – which is available through the streamer's Premium packages.

But Samsung TVs don't support Dolby Vision, and instead sport HDR10+.

HDR10+ isn't as common as Dolby Vision, but it works in a similar way to provide deep colours and more realistic picture.

And support for the lesser-known picture settings appears to be improving.

Apple has supported HDR10+ for Apple TV+ and iTunes video content for several years now.

Earlier this year, Disney+ also announced support for HDR10+ videos on its platform.

Now Netflix has joined the fold, saying HDR10+ now accounts for half of all eligible viewing hours.

The streaming giant has pledged to make all HDR titles available in HDR10+ by the end of this year.

Check if you're eligible

HDR10+ content will only be available on devices with the AV1 codec and HDR10+ certification.

All Samsung smart TVs released in 2020 and later support AV1 and HDR10+.

Simply make sure the HDR toggle is enabled in your Netflix app settings.

  • Open the Netflix app, then choose a profile.
  • On the Netflix home screen, go left to open the menu.
  • At the bottom, select Get Help > Video.
  • Choose HDR On or HDR Off.
  • Resume watching Netflix.

Although be wary.

Even if your gadget is eligible, your package might not be up to scratch.

Viewers must have a Netflix Premium plan subscription to enjoy HDR10+ – just like customers with Dolby Vision-enabled TVs.
