Netflix "4k" sucks so badly

4K looks amazing on our Samsung NU8000, breh. Planet Earth II be selling guests on 4K at our place. Maybe check your speeds? Sometimes the titles look like poop initially but clean up in a few seconds.
We have **1000mpbs Fiber
**(but prob get 200mbps-400mbps on average)

Unless you're on a Mac or Linux no idea why you'd rely on a browser for PC Netflix watching, use the dedicated app, it even has 5.1 support if it's plugged into a receiver
Got an OLED recently, and nah, you're wrong. I haven't tried a UHD disc as I don't have a player yet (and don't really want to collect discs, just for space reasons; may get one eventually), and it looks mostly fanastic. HDR /Dolby Vision is super good.

Everyone saying "check your eyes," back at you. Those compression blocks are fucking enormous on netflix. The quality is just pure shit.
Yeah, I got up close to my 4k screen comparing 4k Netflix and bdrom and the 4k stream has globs of artifacts and poorer motion. I have 1 Gbps and it always tests around 960mbps.
The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs looks incredible on my setup.
But then again that's Dolby Vision. I'm not sure how many DV titles are on Netflix.

I think all hdr content is dolby vision on netflix. Only see hdr10 on amazon.
Just grabbed some old photos I took when I first bought my 4k tv. OP why you lying:
It looks like DVD? Really? What TV you have?

The issue is your ridiculous hyperbole - if the streams look like DVD then your connection is atrocious. The streams on my C7 OLED and 400Mb/s connection are perfectly fine - no where near a UHD Blu-ray but way, way better than DVD and better than 99% of HD Blu-rays.
I have a TCL 55s405 and use the built in Netflix app and it well above DVD quality. Watched Planet Earth II, BRIGHT and a few other things and it's not nearly as bad.
Sometimes exaggerations cheapen the point and people get caught up in trying to understand rather than help fix your issue.

Or maybe he's running the PC at a lower resolution than the TV screen?
Pretty much this. Netflix 4K might tick the resolution requirement but it's (sometimes) far removed from UHD.
Also, check if you have an info button on your remote; it pops up some bitrate info for me (Samsung TV). 4K always maxes out at 15.26 Mbps iirc.
Meh, I think Hulu's new interface is by far the best from any streaming service. I hated it before but now it's so much easier to navigate. Netflix is getting really hard to find anything to me at least.
I think it looks incredible. On my built in Netflix app the quality is all over the place but on my Roku Ultra it's always perfect.
The real problem I have with it is there's just not nearly enough good 4k content. Planet Earth 2 was the only thing I saw that I was interested in (and it looks soooo good).

Their movie selection has actually been fairly decent lately if you enjoy classics like Godfather, they also have a good selection of upper tier 90s and 80s stuff, Scorsese films etc.
No offense but not knowing in late 2018 that Netflix isn't the place to go for newish movie releases sans Disney stuff is kinda on you. It's mostly been about their own produced content for the past few years and that's the way it'll continue to go especially once Disney launches their own streaming platform. Good luck with your connection issues though, looks fine on my 4k set :)
"Altered Carbon" looked really, really good on my LG OLED. The Marvel TV shows have too much grain and don't look as good to me.
You know what is worse ? HDR netflix on samsung phones.
They incredibly dim and there is no choice to disable them ,so whenever I see HDR movie or tv show I grin.

Super inconsistent. Shows become unwatched for no reason, playback location isn't synchronized from other devices all the time, shows are in my stuff but not in a list of my stuff. Hulus interface is hot garbage.
I literally haven't experienced any of this issues with the new interface. Netflix is way too cluttered especially with all of their original programing getting pushed to you first so it seems. I spend more time looking for something to watch on Netflix than I usually spend actually watching anything. To each his own I guess.
Netflix has tons of issues too, like new episodes should be in a sub list so weeklies show up or you can keep all your shows in a list without it getting too long. But Netflix always remembers where I last watched.
Netflix's 1080p streaming looks pretty decent to me all things considered. It's definitely not DVD quality, from my regular viewing distance it looks about as good as the average blu-ray most of the time lol. And I doubt 4K looks worse than this.
You can press ctrl+shift+alt+d while using netflix to see the stream's resolution and bitrate, because there must be something wrong there.
Because some are just upscaled 1080p with higher bitrate and some others are proper 4K compressed.
I don't know if it is like this in all regions, but I was super sad when I noticed that only Netflix own content was available in 4K..
I have Netflix 4K and it's pretty great. Has as much or more UHD content as any platform (which still isn't a lot but hey).

yeah, this can be the case as well from time to time. I believe most of Netflix's own (recent) content should be in 4K tho, except the older stuff.
I will admit it's hard to find their UHD content, but by searching 'Dolby' enough times i got a section to pop up that says 4K.
If you think that's bad (and it is shit, btw), wait til you check out the Amazon Prime interface!
Netflix is a dream in comparison! lol
