(Disney+ is the first major streaming service to provide IMAX Enhanced. Previously, Sony had applied IMAX Enhanced in Bravia Core for a choose variety of its 4K Bravia TVs.) IMAX Enhanced isn’t always officially advertised/ available on Disney+ Hotstar, though a few customers have mentioned being able to access it with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
