If I understand things correctly, here is what has happened.

• HDR10 was created.
• Dolby Vision came out (was already out?) and was technically superior to HDR10 in some regards.
• Samsung and Amazon teamed up and created HDR10+ to address some of the shortcomings of HDR10.
• HDR10+ is a royalty-free and open standard that anyone could use. For example, it is supported by x265 already.
• Samsung is now releasing their implementation as open source so that developers don't have to spend as much time and money writing their own implementation.

 

So really good news if you ask me. We need more free(as in freedom and free beer) standards for codecs. None of this proprietary bullshit Dolby and some other companies are pushing. We don't want to end up in a situation where we got several competing standards which just confuses consumers, nor do we want a monopoly where everyone who consumes content has to pay a royalty to someone.

Yeah, also Dolby being higher end standard which would be a problem for monitor manufacturers and cost etc. to become so mainstream. So HDR10 is a very good standard a go to as of now, and HDR10+ to be extension of it. I guess you could compare Dolby one as FLAC and HDR10 as MP3 heh. 

I'm just glad that we have somewhat of a standard for HDR monitors and that it's a thing on monitors. 

Proprietary standard would definitelly be bs for such. But there needs to be clear one and not diluted confusion. 

So I guess HDR10/+ being more than good enough now to say the least vs like Dolby for example. 1000nits vs 10000nits and 10bit vs 12bit standards. Moniors with HDR just are here now and are premium price so still time to pass untill we see them in like every other monitor.

Except kind of flipped since flac is a free open standard, and MP3 is the proprietary standard with insane licensing fees.

Yeah you understand correctly. HDR10+ is basically HDR10 extended with dynamic metadata and a couple other small things. Dynamic Metadata is the big one though.

 

The issue with pushing everyone to open standards is some of the insane patents Dolby and DTS have though. I don't see them disappearing anytime soon, even though certifications of open standards (e.g. how THX did it before their Razer buyout, and I think still does it) are a more modern approach.

Yeah in that way yes, meant it as in quality compare.

Also HDR10+ having dynamic tone mapping is a good improvement.

Neat.
