How to Request HDR10+ Support?

Pat100 — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 14:08:13 GMT

Is there an official place to request this?

I saw:

https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/the-lounge-room/future-bravia-features-requests-suggestions/m-p/2574089/highlight/false#M704

but it doesn’t seem at all active?

Does Sony TV have a “Features Request” page?

Hi Pat100,

I'll see if I can track down an answer. Maybe someone else in the community has an idea in the meantime.

Thanks,

Pascale

Hi Pat100,

I've checked the Sony website and I can see that your TV supports HDR: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/televisions-projectors/articles/00167110.

Also, it should support HLG: https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/televisions-projectors/articles/00161421

I am not sure if HDR10+ will be supported in the future or not.

Cheers,

Why do you want that? It is even more useless compared to Dolby Vision. HDR10+ hardly has any supporters in the content industry anymore. From a visiual point of view, HDR10 is enough as TVs typically analyze content frame by frame anyway. You will only make up differences when watching stuff side-by-side and even then it is a matter of taste which version looks "better".

I thought that the opinions there about the advantages of the enhancements of HDR were interesting.

I really don’t know how to post here!

How do I add to the thread without replying to a post?

I’ve just made two wonderfully erudite posts that have failed to appear.

Have I breached some rules? They seemed pretty bland to me?

(Trying my post without the link and the emoji to see if it appears now!)

I’m not trying to compare HDR10+ with Dolby Vision. I watch a lot of HDR10 + content on Prime.

Google: hd report titles amazon

I’d like my TV set to support the streaming content that I watch so that I can see it as it is intended rather than have it default to HDR10.

I have seen it suggested that enhanced HDR may give a brighter picture than HDR10.

And I have seen a lot of comments about dark HDR pictures.

And I’d say to Sony: “Why NOT implement HDR10+?”

If I knew how to contact them

IN oredr to create a new thread you have to simply press "new message" below the welcome frame...

Regardless of the opinion on HDR10+ (I agree with @Kuschelmonschter ) I'd suggest you enjoy amazon prime in HDR10 without thinking to much of what you may loose on the HDR10+ version (it is the same streaming, you just skip the additional dynamic metadata if any is present): even if someone in Sony will decide to agree with you and add HDR10+ to their platform 99% will be not available for your current tv...

No, I mean how to add to a current thread without appearing to reply to the previous poster. i.e. reply to a thread not to a person.

I don’t get the 99%. Are you referring to Prime’s output or to the Universe?
If the former, did you try Googling my suggestion to help with compiling statistics? (Every time I try to post the direct link to make it easier for you, my posts disappear - I think that I may have offended a moderator)

99% were the probability you will not get hdr10+ on your tv even if sony decide to implement it in newer model

Ah! Got it!

I am hopeful as the FX90 was introduced in Feb 2018 and they produced a final update for it to Dolby Vision 16 months later in July 2019. So, maybe they will update the GX9s to HDR10+ on a similar time frame. Especially if a lot of customers request it. Hint! Hint!

(Though the question of HOW we all request it is still open?)

Won’t it be nice to have a TV that supports ALL the HDR formats. It’ll be fascinating to see which way all the manufacturers jump next year after being led by the nose by Netflix this year. Will Amazon be able to do the same?

Dolby vision was announced for those model hdr10+ not. In any case question from customer in this community can be looked for by sony personnel and forwarded to Japan. I do not miss it but in any case having both could be better.
