All Disney+ supported devices support IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio; however, at the moment, IMAX Enhanced sound with DTS:X is only supported for Disney+ on select Android TV devices from Sony, Hisense, Sharp, and Xiaomi.

IMAX Enhanced content on Disney+ features an expanded aspect ratio of 1.90:1. This differs from most films where the picture appears wide but does not take up the full height of your screen.

IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio allows you to see up to 26% more of the original image and experience the full scale and scope of the picture from the comfort of your home or on the go. Some movies only have select sequences filmed in IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio.

Use the IMAX Enhanced filter on the movies page to see all movies available in IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio.

Select movies will also have a Versions tab available, where you can access both the IMAX Enhanced and Widescreen versions.

Note: Some movies only have select sequences filmed in IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio. Read the description in the Versions tab to see if the expanded aspect ratio is available throughout the entire movie.

All Disney+ subscribers can experience select Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio, on any supported device.

These movies will automatically play in IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio during the full movie (if available) or during select sequences that were filmed or formatted for IMAX, but the standard Widescreen versions will still be accessible from the Versions tab.

IMAX Enhanced sound with DTS:X is an advanced audio format that preserves the full dynamic range of the original theatrical sound mix, providing an immersive listening experience to Disney+ subscribers at home.
