- Samsung TVs will be the first to support HDR10+ on Disney+, Disney confirms
- Samsung TVs support HDR10+ instead of Dolby Vision
- Disney joins other streaming services like Prime Video in supporting HDR10+
While no actual HDR10+ rollout date has been confirmed, we do know that all Samsung TVs starting in 2018, from its “Crystal UHD” LED sets to its flagship OLEDs, will support HDR10+ on Disney+.
Disney+ joins some of the top streaming services like Prime Video, Apple TV+, Paramount+, and YouTube in supporting the premium HDR format. Disney+ will also continue to offer Dolby Vision HDR streaming.
HDR10+ is a premium HDR format that provides a more dynamic, brighter and contrast-rich image than SDR and HDR10. It is not only supported on streaming, but also on 4K Blu-ray.
Why is this good news for Samsung TV owners? Until now, Disney+ only offered Dolby Vision HDR quality, and since Samsung TVs don’t support Dolby Vision, choosing instead to support HDR10+, viewers couldn’t get the most out of their hardware. With HDR10+ support available on Disney+, Samsung TVs, some of the best TVs on the market, will now benefit from an improved picture when watching the best Disney+ shows.
Samsung TVs aren’t the only ones to support HDR10+. Hisense, TCL, Panasonic as well as Philips in the UK all offer models that support HDR10+ as well as Dolby Vision. LG and Sony don’t support HDR10+, however, not even on more premium sets like the LG C5 OLED or Sony Bravia 9, opting instead for Dolby Vision HDR support only.
Good news for Samsung
It always seemed like an odd move for Samsung to continually forgo Dolby Vision support in its TVs; a decision that hasn’t changed with any of its 2025 TVs.
Many streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ initially chose to only support the Dolby Vision HDR format, meaning Samsung owners would not experience the best possible picture quality on their TV. A TV like the Samsung S95F for example, one of the best OLED TVs of 2025, deserves the best quality on a streaming service.
But this move by Disney means that fans of Samsung TVs – and especially potential customers – can now buy with a little more confidence, knowing that another streaming service has joined the seemingly growing group of streaming sites to offer HDR10+ streaming.
Whether other streaming services will offer HDR10+ support remains to be seen (looking at you, Netflix and Max), but until then, Samsung lovers now have an additional service they can watch on the best Samsung TVs in top quality.
