Only Nividia has announced support for the standard yet.
Samsung announced its first display that will support the
HDR10+ Gaming standard, an extended games-focused version of HDR10 which will
calibrate automatically. In October, HDR10+ Gaming was primarily announced, but
now Samsung discloses that its new 2022 lineup of QLED TVs (Q70 and above) and
gaming monitors are going to be the first to support the standard.
Samsung joined with Saber Interactive to bring support for
HDR10+ to Redout 2 and Pinball FX, which will both be shown at CES 2022 (as
long as the game developer does not drop out). Game Mechanic Studios is going
to have its HDR10+ gaming title Happy Trails and the Kidnapped Princess on the
floor.
Games advertised by Samsung are in contrast to major games offered
on the competing standard: Dolby Vision gaming: that includes Halo Infinite,
Gears 5, and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The Xbox Series X and S support
at least ten games on Dolby Vision.
HDR10+ Gaming offers more visual metadata than HDR10 (four
times its peak brightness), supports variable refresh rate (VRR), and auto low
latency mode (ALLM) for improved looking and performing game visuals. Samsung says
that the standard will work “over 120Hz” but details are not given.
Dolby Vision gaming, is doing all of this already (save for
the 120Hz plus claim). Samsung’s rival LG in June announced its C1 and G1 OLED
displays with the Dolby Vision gaming standard.
Like Dolby Vision, the whole experience of HDR10+, is only viable
if the whole setup is vertically united to support the format. It means that to
experience HDR10+ Gaming, your PC needs a Nvidia graphics card (with support for
GeForce RTX 30 Series, RTX 20 Series, and GTX 16 Series GPUs), a game which is
programmed with the extra visual metadata, and one of Samsung’s new displays
that can output it.
