"Ahead of CES 2026, Samsung showcased HDR10+ Advanced, the next generation of the open-source HDR10+ standard, which optimizes digital content for both the latest super-bright TVs and those yet to come. The company invited me to its Suwon campus in South Korea to see the technical upgrades up close, and I left the demo feeling excited for next year's crop of TVs."
"Particularly, upcoming Mini-LED and Micro RGB models -- that typically output more than 1,000 nits, brighter than most mastered films -- should be able to truly embrace the new HDR standard. And while it's easy to compare HDR10+ Advanced to Dolby Vision 2, announced only months ago at IFA Berlin, there are several features that set the former apart. Here's the breakdown."
HDR10+ Advanced uses scene-by-scene dynamic metadata to guide display processing and reproduce a wider dynamic range and larger color volume on brighter TVs. The HDR10+ Bright mode targets super-bright Mini-LED and Micro RGB panels that often exceed 1,000 nits, improving brightness reproduction and color accuracy. The standard enhances local dimming behavior and introduces brightness boosting and adaptive motion smoothing to optimize legacy content for modern high-luminance displays. Additional optimizations improve gaming performance. Visual comparisons show a clear difference versus legacy HDR10+, positioning the standard as a competitive alternative to Dolby Vision 2.
