Is HDR10+ GAMING a Samsung proprietary format?

No. This is one of the most persistent misconceptions about the standard. HDR10+ GAMING is an open, royalty-free industry standard managed by HDR10+ Technologies LLC, a multi-company organization. Samsung is a founding member, alongside Panasonic and 20th Century FOX, but the standard is open for any manufacturer, game studio, or GPU maker to adopt.

As of 2026:

• Over 180 companies have formally joined HDR10+ Technologies LLC
• More than 7,000 certified products are using the HDR10+ GAMING mark worldwide
• Certified displays include Samsung, Hisense, Amazon, Prism+, Haier TVs and Samsung monitors.
• GPU support from NVIDIA and Intel
