Samsung Brings HDR10+ Gaming Support to 2022 TVs

Samsung has announced that the TVs and monitors it will release in 2022 will support the recently unveiled HDR10+ gaming standard. This means they'll offer a range of features for gamers, such as variable refresh rates up to 120 Hz and automatic per-game HDR color correction.

Which Devices Will Samsung Bring HDR10+ Support To?

Samsung plans to bring the HDR10+ standard to the Q70 TV series and above. It's also said that this feature will be usable on the 2022 Neo QLED lineup and gaming monitors. While no specific device has been shared on this point yet, it's expected that the gaming monitors will have wide screens and that the Neo QLED TVs will have an extremely thin-bezel design. HDR10+ Gaming didn't draw much attention when it was first announced. However, it looks like a move against the Dolby Vision HDR gaming feature found on Xbox Series X/S consoles. Samsung says it delivers a consistent HDR gaming experience across a wide range of display technologies, primarily on consoles and PCs, without requiring any manual calibration. With HDR10+ Gaming, the game engine itself automatically optimizes color calibration in real time, so you won't need to make any manual adjustments. It configures the display into a true reference mode so that colors are displayed the way the developer intended. On top of that, it's said to be designed to preserve detail in dark shadows and bright highlights. It also offers refresh rates up to 120 Hz alongside tone mapping that doesn't add extra latency to the game signal.
