C-zom 10/21/23 8:16:34 PM #1:	I have a 4k HDR setup. I specifically subscribed to Premium for the UHD. I legitimately mean it when I say this shit looks worse than youtube at 1080p, man. Everthing buffers or is pixelated like crazy. HDR never turns on for my TV unless it detects a movie or game is using it. Netflix, even the app, does not utilize HDR. It never turns on. I can't find a single option for stream quality or bitrate. I'm on a gigabit connection. https://i.imgur.com/jjnPB2V.jpg --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg <cite>C-zom posted [p:976788590] in Am I missi...

It buffers so badly that blobs of pixels just float in darkness/shadows. https://i.imgur.com/U0lJF9t.jpeg --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg <cite>C-zom posted [p:976788607] in Am I missi...

Not a humblebrag topic since I'm going to cancel this sub immediately, but yikes, dude. I even threw on some of their recommended 4k/HDR material (nature docs, etc) and it looks like 1080p struggling to stretch. What a ripoff. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg <cite>C-zom posted [p:976788691] in Am I missi...

StealThisSheen 10/21/23 8:26:14 PM #5:	I don't pay for Netflix Premium since I just don't care for it, but I know somebody who does, and it does look very good. Not worth it, to me, but since they have the disposable income... They can do them. I've never seen anything like these pixelated issues, so it sounds more like a problem with your internet. Premium is only worth it if you have the internet to support it. If you don't, don't even bother. Save your money. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Yeah, it sounds like you might not be getting the rates they say you're getting. I'd check some speed tests and see what you're consistently getting. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
