Netflix recently enabled HDR10+ streaming for all Premium subscribers whose devices support the format and use AV1. The streaming service plans to offer HDR10+ viewing options for all HDR content by the end of this year.

HDR10+ is royalty-free High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology that has been co-created by Samsung, with Amazon Video. This HDR format improves picture quality scene by scene, dynamically changing brightness and contrast levels. 

Besides Netflix, HDR10+ is supported on Amazon Prime Video, as well as YouTube and Google Play Movies and TV.

HDR10+ is different from other HDR formats like HDR10 and Dolby Vision because it uses dynamic metadata, which allows it to change brightness, contrast, and colour scene by scene or even frame by frame.

This is a significant improvement over HDR10, which relies on static metadata, meaning the same HDR settings are used throughout an entire film or show.
