Samsung and Amazon Prime Video Launch HDR10+ Content
The Prime Video HDR10+ catalogue includes hundreds of hours of content such as Prime Originals The Grand Tour, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Jean-Claude Van Johnson, The Tick and The Man in the High Castle plus hundreds of licensed titles.
Samsung Electronics and Amazon Prime Video today announced the entire Prime Video HDR library is now available in HDR10+, a new open standard that leverages dynamic metadata to produce enhanced contrast and colors on an expanded range of televisions. Prime Video is the first streaming service provider to deliver HDR10+ content to its users. HDR10+ is available on the entire Samsung 2017 UHD TV lineup – including the premium QLED TV models.
“We are thrilled to announce HDR10+ content for consumers,” said Sang Yoon Kim, Vice President of Smart TV Business Development at Samsung Electronics America. “The launch marks the first opportunity for consumers and the industry to experience HDR10+ technology through a streaming service.”
The HDR10+ technology on Prime Video incorporates dynamic metadata that allows high dynamic range (HDR) TVs to adjust brightness levels on a scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame basis. By applying individualized tone mapping to each scene, HDR10+ delivers an incredible viewing experience for next generation Samsung displays. The picture quality offers an enhanced visual experience with more detailed expressions, brighter shadow areas and more accurate color renderings that stay true to the creator’s original intent. Through the utilization of the precise “Bezier” based tone-mapping guides, Amazon is able to deliver the optimal viewing experience across a variety of TV models.
“We’re dedicated to offering Prime Video members the best possible viewing experience, and we are very excited for our members around the world to experience our content in HDR10+,” said Greg Hart, Vice President of Prime Video. “The viewing experience of HDR10+ combined with Prime Video’s award-winning content is ushering in a new era of entertainment for consumers on these devices.”
With the launch of HDR10+ on Prime Video along with the HDR10+ logo and certification partnership formed earlier this year by Samsung, 20th Century Fox and Panasonic demonstrates the adoption and growth of HDR10+ as well as a growing commitment to delivering a premium HDR experience.

There are still lots of ISP with data caps, especially in the states. Its worse for phones.
Xfinity here has 1TB cap, and its easy to burn through with 300mb service. I used to use my phone all the time with usb tether since its unlimited to make large downloads when xfinity was 300gb limit. Was easy to burn though that with a 10 year old on youtube and an ex on netflix.
Their 1GB fiber has no data cap but is 150+ a month.
Where I live now, $85 a month, 1GB fiber, and no data cap. Used 500GB in one day. No notice, no torrents though either.

Wow... Data caps on fixed line internet. That's sounds like something you'd see in an underdeveloped country.
Can't think of any 1st world country that has data caps on fixed lines and isn't the States.
These enhanced video features are great for people who haven't already had a monthly data cap imposed on them by the ISPs. For those who have the data cap and are "cord cutters", 4K video streams (around 25Mbps required) with HDR (add a tad more) will burn right through your monthly data allotment in no time. If you watch the 4K content, prepare to pay the overages.
