Disney+ brings 4K streaming back to European customers, but HDR is still on the to-do list

Disney+ has resumed offering 4K streaming to European subscribers after being forced to remove the feature in several countries due to a court ruling. However, HDR support remains unavailable in the affected areas. The streaming giant is actively working on restoring HDR as soon as possible, though no timeline has been provided.

Affected customers have the option to request a partial refund for their current billing period by contacting Disney+. The removal of 4K and HDR features was not a decision made by Disney+, but rather a result of a court case involving video and streaming patents, which have been a recurring issue in the industry. Despite the inconvenience, customers in unaffected regions can continue to enjoy both features on the Premium plan.
