For the past two months, users of Apple TV 4K, Samsung Smart TV, and several other platforms have had reasons to be frustrated. Disney+ – a service that should be a model of quality in streaming – had serious issues with playing content in 4K HDR. Frame rate and dynamic range matching features were working poorly, causing the picture to not always look as it should. And while one might wonder how it was possible for such a large company to allow such a long neglect, today we finally have good news. The update of the Disney+ app to version 4.11.0 resolves all these issues – at least on Apple TV 4K and Samsung TVs.
Apple TV 4K is back on the throne
For many viewers, Apple TV 4K has long been the best device for streaming in the highest quality. The problem is that recent weeks have undermined this status – it was enough to turn on any series in Dolby Vision to see a lack of refresh rate matching or incorrect HDR mode. However, everything is now working as it should. Tests on FlatpanelsHD show that Disney+ correctly switches between different formats:
Samsung Smart TV has also breathed a sigh of relief
Not only Apple set-top box owners can enjoy the improvement. Disney+ has also released an update for Samsung TVs, which are again streaming in 4K HDR10. Just download the new version of the app and the problem disappears.
What’s next? We’re waiting for HDR10+
The whole story shows that the problems were related to the preparations for the introduction of HDR10+ support. Disney has been testing this format for a long time, and it looks like its premiere is just around the corner. The question is whether, after what we’ve seen in recent weeks, viewers will trust the stability of the application?
If Disney learns from this, we can expect even more comprehensive support for modern image technologies. For now, the most important thing is that the platform finally works as it should – and that we can once again watch our favorite movies and series in the quality we pay for.
