Brighter, sharper, more realistic HDR TV images
More vibrant colour
Get rich, lifelike colors, even in the darkest and brightest areas, when you stream HDR content with an HDR-compatible TV.* HDR offers a wider range of colors, brighter whites and deeper blacks, to create more natural, beautiful and authentic images.
Bright, bold, realistic pictures
HDR technology enhances the contrast and colour representation of the existing pixels on your TV to create a more natural viewing environment. And, you don't need a huge screen to see the HDR difference. With HDR, colours are bright and bold. Shadows and highlights form exquisite detail. Detail pops off the screen.
Incredibly smooth video
With up to 60 frames of video per second, you get smooth, responsive, crystal-clear motion no matter how frantic the car chase or drawn-out the instant replay.
Things to know: 60fps requires compatible TV and content.
HDR content has arrived
Watch movies and TV shows from a new perspective. HDR content is off to a strong start, especially in streaming. Big-budget movies (and a growing number of TV shows) are now being filmed in HDR, and many major streaming brands such as Netflix and FandangoNOW, are already offering new releases (such as Jason Bourne, Marco Polo and The Do Over) in HDR.
What you need to know: You have to pay for a subscription, purchase or rental of content on Netflix, FandangoNOW and other channels.

Ready to navigate the world of HDR streaming? Here are the essentials to know what HDR is and live this next entertainment adventure.
An HDR TV
To experience video in HDR, you need a TV with HDR. You'll also need a high-speed HDMI® cable.
High-speed Internet connection
For best results, check with your channel provider for the bandwidth requirements for streaming HDR video. Contact your Internet service provider to ensure your service meets these requirements and also to find out about upgrade options.
The right HDMI® port on your TV
HDR content from channels like Netflix require a copy protection standard called "HDCP 2.2." In order to view this content in HDR, your Roku streaming player must be plugged into an "HDCP 2.2" compatible HDMI® port. Different TVs will have different configurations, and some will label the correct HDMI® port, but it’s a good idea to refer to your TV manufacturer’s owner's manual.
