Netflix HDR confirmed and available

At the moment Netflix is one of the few companies that will receive HDR support, although it should be noted that it will not be able to be used by all the people they want, since it will only be compatible with televisions assembled in 2016, such as offered by the well-known brands Samsung, Sony, LG or Sharp, who have dedicated themselves to doing everything possible to increase the sales of these televisions, since the public has managed little purchases of the product.

Just as a new 2016 television is needed to enjoy this range of HDR videos, which means “ High Definition Rang e”, users must also have a subscription to an ultra HD plan, which costs $ 12 a month, demanding also an internet speed of at least 25 Mbps per second, which implies an activation of additional internet service, which is five times faster than the default to be used with 1080p reproductions.

What will be the HDR format supported and what impact will it have on society?

Referring to the formats supported by this type of HDR image, Netflix will use and support HDR-10, and Dolby Vision. The latter operates under Vizio's fixed HDR. In this sense, it should be noted that HDR-10 becomes the mother root of all reproductions based on this format.

Despite the fact that Netflix does not have much variety of content in this format, said update comes as a great achievement for such a service, positioning itself at the level of Amazon Video, which has just over a year offering support in this format. It will also be an economical option to enjoy high quality content at a low cost.
