HDR10+
What HDR10+ means on a TV
HDR10+ is a high-dynamic-range video format. Unlike standard HDR10, which uses one set of metadata for the whole programme or film, HDR10+ uses dynamic metadata to provide scene-level instructions for handling brightness and tone mapping.
A TV with an HDR10+ specification can recognise compatible HDR10+ content. On TVFit, the label appears in AV/TV listings from brands including Samsung, Hisense and Philips.
Why the label matters
HDR10+ may help a compatible TV respond more appropriately to changes between bright and dark scenes. That can be relevant if you watch films, programmes or other video made with HDR10+ metadata.
The format only has an effect when the content and playback chain support it. If a source is standard dynamic range or uses a different HDR format, the HDR10+ label does not make that source HDR10+.
What HDR10+ does not tell you
HDR10+ is a capability flag, not a picture-quality rating. It does not, by itself, tell you:
- How bright the TV gets
- How well it controls highlights and dark areas
- How accurate its colours are
- Whether its panel, backlight or processing suits your room
- How much HDR10+ content is available from the sources you use
- Whether every input or app supports the format
A TV can list HDR10+ and still differ substantially from another HDR10+ TV in overall HDR performance. The product page may also omit which inputs, apps or external devices support the format, so those details remain unknown unless they are stated separately.
What to check on a TVFit product page
When comparing listings, treat HDR10+ as one part of the television's format support. Check whether the page also identifies other HDR formats, such as HDR10 or Dolby Vision, and whether it provides separate information about brightness, panel technology, local dimming or gaming features.
Look for the exact wording used in the listing. A general HDR10+ mention does not confirm support in every viewing mode, app or input. It also does not confirm that an external player, cable or service will provide HDR10+ playback.
Nearby display terms include HDR10, Dolby Vision, and Quantum HDR. These names describe related or overlapping parts of HDR support, but they are not interchangeable quality scores.
