I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while…. I have a OLED (which I know just about anything looks good on) and the Netflix Standard plan. While watching Netflix, there’s just absolutely no way that this is the max 1080P resolution advertised. In settings on AppleTV, I manually selected the resolution and the TV itself confirms that the output is still showing Full 4K Dolby while on Netflix.
Are my eyes just deceiving me and upscale is happening, or does the fact that I force the full resolution in the settings make Netflix provide me with essentially their “premium” plan for free?
I’ve had this Netflix account since 07’ and despite the whole password sharing crackdown, I have yet to experience any pushback. Maybe as an almost 20 year long customer they’re going soft on me, idk?
Would be really interesting to know given the big price increases.
I changed my Netflix back to standard but felt that the quality had dropped but maybe it was just what I was watching, so I’ve put it back to premium but am I just convincing myself that it’s better….?
There’s no way Netflix is giving you 4K on the standard plan.
The Apple TV is upscaling the 1080 video to 4K, and it sounds like you don’t have “Match Dynamic range” set to on, so it’s also forcing non-DV content to play as DV.
Try watching one of the free episodes on Apple TV+ to see what real 4K DV looks like.
Agreed. This is exactly what’s happening to the OP.
What’s the best practice on “match dynamic range”? Should it be on?
