What kind of HDR do you need?
Matt Bolton – Entertainment Editor in Chief
HDR is a great addition to the TV world, adding more depth and richness to the colors and contrast of movies and TV shows.but here are Four There are different kinds of HDR, some competing with each other, so it can be unnecessarily confusing when navigating. So let’s keep it simple. First, let’s talk about the two basic types of HDR that any HDR TV includes:
- HDR10: All HDR TVs have this. It’s the basic form of HDR used on Blu-ray or streaming services. simple!
- High-speed rail: This is a form of HDR designed specifically for live broadcasts, such as sporting events. Almost all HDR TVs support it — and very few don’t.
Okay, now for the more complicated ones: Dolby Vision and HDR10+. These are more advanced versions of HDR that allow the way the TV handles dark and bright tones to be adjusted on a scene-by-scene basis, and are designed to better render the original high-quality version of the movie suite straight from the clip. Basically, they look better than regular HDR.
It’s not complicated. To complicate matters, many TVs only support one of the two formats, so you have to choose.
- HDR10+: This format is mostly used on Samsung TVs. It’s rarely supported by streaming services, but content is available from Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV Plus, and some 4K Blu-ray discs.
- Dolby Vision: This is visually slightly more advanced than HDR10+ (though not enough for most people to notice), but more importantly it has better support for streaming services. It’s used on Apple TV Plus, Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus, and more. TVs from LG, Sony, TCL, Hisense, etc. support it.
As you can see above, Dolby Vision is indeed the winner here — but there are more reasons to choose a TV than just HDR. So what happens if your TV only supports HDR10+ and you watch a movie in Dolby Vision, or vice versa? HDR falls back to the basic HDR10 format. So you still get HDR, just not the more advanced kind – nice and easy. kind of.

Buying Tip: Do mini-LEDs matter?
Al Griffin – Senior Editor, Television and Audio
LED backlighting in TVs used to be a high-tech feature, but now even mainstream TVs use LED backlighting. Less common is mini-LED backlighting, which uses an array of tiny lights to illuminate the TV’s LCD display panel.
As with quantum dots, different TV brands use different terms to refer to the presence of mini-LED backlights in their sets. Samsung, for example, refers to its mini-LED models as “Neo QLED,” while LG, Sony, TCL, and Hisense all use the term mini-LED.
A key advantage of mini-LED over regular LED TVs is that the lamp modules used in the backlight are smaller, allowing better control over local dimming. During this process, individual modules are grouped into zones and dimmed according to the brightness level of the screen image. For example, LED areas in shadowed parts of the picture will be dimmed or turned off completely, while bright highlight areas get full light.
With the higher density of LED modules distributed on the backlight, mini-LED TVs can also provide higher overall brightness, some TVs such as Samsung QN95B Measured light output is twice or more that of regular LED-lit TVs.The Samsung model is the company’s top-of-the-line Neo QLED offering, but there are more affordable mini-LED TVs like the Hisense U8H series can provide almost as high peak brightness.
The extra light output can be important if you’re going to be watching in a well-lit room — for example, watching sporting events during the day. But it can also help render full highlight detail in HDR sources by reducing the need for tone mapping, the process by which a TV scales a program’s brightness range to fit its maximum light output capabilities.
All in all, mini-LED can make a difference when viewed in a well-lit room, and it also adds a satisfying visual punch when watching movies and TV shows with HDR. It’s a feature you’ll pay extra for, but for some, it’s well worth it.
