- Netflix is adding an interesting upgrade for all paying users
- Dynamically optimized HDR will improve image quality and reduce latency
The streaming platform Netflix has made available to users of all tariffs a special function that makes the viewing experience more pleasant and improves the viewing of shows. This is the so-called dynamically optimized HDR (DO HDR), which Internet TV officially announced at the end of November via its blog.
Don’t miss: Surprising move: Netflix will increase the prices of ad-free plans. Will the price increase also affect the Czech Republic?
Netflix is improving
Dynamically optimized encoding actually helps achieve optimized trade-offs between data flow and quality depending on the complexity of the content. Netflix admitted that during the Covid pandemic it could have developed a special HDR-VMAF codec that was able to combine fluidity with picture quality.
The next step in this field is dynamically optimized HDR. In practice, this means for you that the image of all programs on the platform with HDR support should be significantly better, but also noticeably smoother. It is also interesting that Czech video expert Lukáš Krasula, who works at the Netflix headquarters, worked on the development of the technology.

What can DO HDR?
Other benefits include higher video quality for both bandwidth-constrained and non-bandwidth sessions, lower initial bit rate, higher quality, lower playback delay, less variation in delivered video quality, and lower internet data consumption, especially on mobile phones and tablets.
The feature was made available to all users at the end of December. This applies both to users of the lower Basic tariff and to Standard or Premium subscribers. This is also connected to the fact that the improvement will be applied regardless of the resolution – lower tariffs only support Full HD, Premium even 4K.
