Netflix has announced the first titles it plans to make available in High Dynamic Range – or HDR.
The Netflix original series Marco Polo is already available in HDR and Dolby Vision, adding over 100 hours of HDR programming by August, with more than 150 hours slated by the year end.
New HDR titles include A Series of Unfortunate Events, Bloodline, Chef’s Table, Hibana, Knights of Sidonia, Marvel’s Daredevil, Marvel’s Iron Fist, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Marvel’s Luke Cage, Marvel’s The Defenders, The Do-Over, and The Ridiculous Six.
“While 4k offers more pixels, HDR offers better pixels that have greater depth, and on HDR screens you get brighter highlights, more detail in dark scenes, and a wider color range that more closely matches the real world,” wrote Neil Hunt, Chief Product Officer at Netflix, in his blog.
