    HDR10 Plus support comes to Netflix.

    HDR10 Plus streams have been added for “new releases and existing popular HDR titles,” with Netflix aiming to add it to all HDR content by the end of the year. This should help to address a visual quality gap on Samsung TVs, which don’t support Netflix’s Dolby Vision streams.

    Netflix users will require a Premium subscription and a device that supports both AV1 and HDR10 Plus in order to benefit.

    Hyundai is spending $21 billion to avoid US tariffs.

    The South Korean conglomerate’s US investment includes a new $5.8 billion steel plant in Louisiana, which is set to create 1,400 jobs and supply Hyundai’s auto plants in Alabama and Georgia. The company also plans to invest $6 billion to expand partnerships with AI, autonomous driving, robotics, and air mobility companies in the US.

    These latest figures build on the $10 billion that Hyundai previously said it would invest into the US between 2022-2025.
