If you’re not a regular Hulu user, it may be a shock to learn that the streaming service did not offer any content in High Dynamic Range (HDR). That has finally changed because Hulu is now streaming a small subset of its movies and TV shows in HDR on Fire TVs, as well as other streaming devices. The HDR selection is currently limited to only about two dozen shows and movies, of which most are Hulu’s own originals, but at least it’s a start. HDR content is identified in the interface with an HDR badge. If you’re interested, read on for a list of TV shows and movies from Hulu that are known to already be streaming in HDR. Read more ›
