HDR compatibility is now available on Hulu Originals, which is compatible with Apple TV 4K.

 

Hulu, owned by Disney, is now supporting HDR in some of its original content. Apple TV 4K owners will notice an improvement in image quality as a result of this adjustment.

Hulu has extended compatibility to most, but not all, of its original programming that was previously in 4K, according to a user on the AVS Forum (via CNET). Some movies and television shows now support HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision.

High-dynamic-range support is available on the following material for Apple TV 4K owners (first and second generation):

• Nine Perfect Strangers
• The Handmaid’s Tale
• Little Fires Everywhere
• Dollface
• Hellstrom
• The Great
• The First
• High Fidelity
• CastleRock
• Wu-Tang
• Future Man
• Woke
• The Looming Towe
• The Act
• Catch-22
• Reprisal
• Four Weddings and a Funeral
• The Runaways
• RUN (2020)
• Happiest Season
• WeWork
• Bad Hair (HDR but no 4K Badge)
• The United States vs. Billie Holiday (HDR but no 4K Badge).

For the time being, it looks that FX material on Hulu does not support HDR, even in 4K quality.

For Apple TV 4K owners, Roku, Fire TV, Vizion, and Chromecast Ultra users, HDR is also accessible on Hulu.

Netflix pushed out a fascinating feature that Apple customers have probably already heard about: Spatial Audio compatibility, last week. This app uses directional audio filters to create an immersive experience for iPhone and iPad running iOS 14. Netflix may upgrade its app sooner rather than later, with Spatial Audio compatibility coming to tvOS 15 as well.
