Wow they didn't have this before? We've had HDR tvs for...8 or more years now? Linux added HDR before Netflix did. Windows has had it since 2020 or so. Pretty laughable that the first and "foremost" streaming provider is just now getting to it

Netflix had Dolby Vision and HDR, this is just adding HDR10+. HDR10+ is similar to Dolby Vision in that it give your TV dynamic metadata for the HDR. Constantly adjusting min/max brightness of the scene.
For dynamic metadata Dolby Vision support is much more common in TVs, some brands like LG don't have any support for HDR10+ even in their high end TVs.
I am pretty sure from a content perspective Dolby Vision is also much more prevalent. It does look like most streamers support HDR10+, but I don't think much of their content is available in HDR10+.
Anyways still a good change. HDR10+ is royalty free unlike Dolby Vision, and it is backwards compatible with regular HDR TVs.
Isn't it something that's more common in the computer image flow than in TVs? Or is it in both and the support is irrelevant?
I'm not really familiar with the whole TV specs beyond basic resolution. I watch most of my media on other screens.
Ah you're right, I stand corrected. They're still behind, but not as far behind as I thought.
Now, add some good content.
The Residence is very good so far
