Vizio TV Update Adds HDR10 Support for Samsung, Philips 4K Blu-ray Players

A Vizio firmware update announced Wednesday expands high-dynamic-range support for the company’s SmartCast P-Series and M-Series Ultra HD TVs, it said in a Wednesday news release. The update enables support for HDR10 on Samsung’s UHD-K8500 and Philips’ BDP7501/F7 Ultra HD Blu-ray players, said Vizio. The P- and M-Series TVs launched with Dolby Vision content support out of the box, Vizio noted. It was always Vizio’s intent to accommodate HDR10 in addition to Dolby Vision to give consumers options, said Vizio Chief Technology Officer Matt McRae. Vizio is planning updates for other Ultra HD Blu-ray players as they hit the market, it said.
