    Hi, just a question of a total layman in this type of topics. The Z9S plays only files with HDR10. The new devices like Z9X or Z1000 Pro play also DV and HDR10+.

    Question: I have a file with DV and HDR10+ (for example WW84). Will the Z9S still play the file with HDR10 or is HDR completely missing?

    Secondly, what in practice will be a visible difference between HDR10 and HDR+/ DV? In other words, is it worth of changing the player to be able to play HDR10+/ DV files?

    Thank you.

    Yes, it's all completely backwards compatible, so HDR10+ and DV titles all include HDR10.

    How much better/different HDR10+ and DV playback is very much depends on your TV.

    If it was me, I'd upgrade since it opens up a whole new selection of options for playback of all formats using VS10 - you just have to be aware of the limitations with regards Dolby Vision profiles and layers and how and and what will work.
