HBO Max update prepares you for Wonder Woman 1984 in glorious 4K HDR

The update is rolling out now!

What you need to know

HBO Max is rolling out a new update that will enable 4K HDR streams from the app.
4K HDR will only be available on select devices for now.
Wonder Woman 1984 will be the first movie to be streamed on the app in 4K HDR.

Hold on to your khakis, Kevin, because Wonder Woman 1984 is nearly here and HBO Max has finally updated its app to support 4K HDR streams. The inability to stream in 4K, let alone HDR, was a strange omission for a new streaming service in 2020. With the update, HBO Max brings support for even Dolby Atmos, which should help take things to the next level and put the service more at parity with other competing streaming services.

We're bringing holiday cheer with this update. HBO Max will now support 4K UHD, HDR, and Dolby Atmos on select devices and titles. We'll be releasing even more 4K UHD titles throughout 2021—so stay tuned—we know you've been asking for this!

The update is currently rolling out, but only for users on select devices. The list includes the following:

Supported Android TV devices
Chromecast Ultra
Chromecast with Google TV
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
Amazon Fire TV Cube
4K Fire TV Edition smart TVs
AT&T TV
Apple TV 4K

Fortunately, the update supports many of the best streaming devices. It doesn't seem like there's 4K support for consoles yet, which is unfortunate for users on PS4 or PS5 since the app was recently made available for the latter. There is also no mention of Roku devices either, which also recently obtained HBO Max.

Wonder Woman 1986 will be available in theaters and on HBO Max on December 25th.

Chromecast with Google TV

$50 at Best Buy

Chromecast with Google TV is perhaps the best streaming device you can buy. It offers tons of apps, 4K HDR support, and a cool remote that has buttons for quick access to Google Assistant, Netflix, and Youtube.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
