What is HDR10+ Adaptive, and how does it relate to HDR10+ GAMING?

HDR10+ Adaptive is an additional feature for compatible displays that adjusts HDR brightness based on the ambient light in your room. It was released as part of the HDR10+ ADVANCED specification in 2025 for gaming.

• Displays with ambient light sensors can use HDR10+ Adaptive to brighten images in daylit rooms and deepen contrast in dark environments.
• HDR10+ GAMING works fully and correctly on displays without Adaptive sensors
• On displays that support both, the base tone mapping is done by the game engine (HDR10+ GAMING), and HDR10+ Adaptive applies a further adjustment based on room light level.
