Samsung is finally empty the mode for a major ascent to a better Netflix streaming experience on your overbold TVs and monitor . The prodigious Korean display God Almighty has confirm HDR10 + codec support for Netflix cyclosis is come to its large screens after thestreaming heavyweight added accompaniment last hebdomad .
In a newsroompost , Samsung confirmed HDR10 + content on Netflix will now be accessible on 2025 Samsung Neo QLED , OLED , and Lifestyle television role model . It added support for PC monitors from 2024 and 2025 as well , which should include theSmart Monitor M7 , M8 , and M9 seriesat the very least . While the announcement entail Samsung has updated the Netflix app for its Tizen o ply on the TVs , supported models should also be able to make consumption of the latterly added support with external streaming devices , such as an Apple telly or an Android idiot box cyclosis box , so long as they are also certified for HDR10 + .

The update is a majorconvincing factor for anyone who has been on the fenceabout buying Samsung ’s premium OLED and QLED TVs but void them for thelack of right HDR10 + supportin Netflix .
