The business of home entertainment is ever changing and 20th Century Fox looks to be doing its bit to make sure the future is glorious.
The Hollywood Reporter tells us that 20th Century Fox is making a commitment to Ultra High Definition and High Dynamic Range on future movie releases for home viewing.Â
UHD is now part of the vernacular, with UHD support on a number of streaming services - like Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video - but it's HDR that's the new and exciting part.Â
HDR - the same idea as the effect that's been on cameras and smartphones for a while - is seen as the next big boost to quality, potentially offering a great impact than a straight increase in resolution.
We've already heard Netflix and Amazon say they will be supporting HDR and a number of television manufacturers are starting to introduce HDR support on their screens too - like Samsung, LG and Sony.
The move from 20th Century Fox chimes nicely with the recent announcement from the Blu-ray Disc Association earlier in May, saying that Ultra HD Blu-ray will start appearing in the summer, also with support for HDR.
There's still some work to be done on establishing the standard format for HDR, but it looks like you could be enjoying all the glory of UHD HDR in your home by the end of the year.
