Overview
- The update adds extended brightness metadata, genre-aware tone mapping, creator-guided motion smoothing, finer local tone-mapping, advanced color control, and a gaming mode that adapts to ambient light.
- Samsung says the format targets displays capable of 4,000–5,000 nits peak brightness and supports the full BT.2020 color gamut.
- Gaming features focus on streamed and cloud titles by requiring real-time tone‑mapping adjustments to room conditions for more consistent HDR performance.
- Samsung previewed only simulated comparisons so far, with a fuller technical demonstration planned for CES 2026.
- First TVs with HDR10+ Advanced are planned for the 2026 lineup around midyear, while broader impact depends on content mastering and streaming services adopting the new metadata.
