Are you sure you're getting the 4K stream? I think you need 20-30Mbps for 4k streaming...

Hmm, not supposed to. So begs the question, sure you are getting 4K and not up-scaled 1080p? Is there like an info button on the remote/TV you could press to check? Or just search and play the Netflix speed test video titled "Example Short 23.976". Give it a few minutes to average out and watch the top left corner for the streaming bit rate and resolution.

Looks very sharp so it could be but need something to test the actual resolution.

If I'm understanding you right, you've noticed the 4K icon from Netflix's library itself correct? Netflix then streams to the quality your bandwith can handle which it auto-detects. Vonframe is pretty much right, you'll need to test independently with Netflix's demo loop or if your TV can give you some info on the current source. I personally don't think you're getting 4K on a 10Mbps connection, time to upgrade!

where in the 630x tv did u find netflix... under playstore/media/apps?

is it located on upper, middle or lower end of the list?

i checked, did not see it, only saw "icflix" which is bollywood...

How to find the test video?

I clicked under update then the system updated with preinstalled Netflix.

Textbox.... Search for that title as you would any movie or show. Play as normal.

ok, i'll try that, thanks.

Ok guys. The news that netflix is going to clamp down on unblocker is not just lip service. I use unblock-us to access US netflix and i could not access some shows, error message popped out " it seems that you are using an unblocker".....just like what some Australian have reported. I fear we may have to live with netflix Malaysia content moving forward...sigh..

The video doesn't exist on the Netflix App .. Not sure why.

Is known already, still downloading will be the best method if you want "special" content

Just checked and the service I use is still functioning... No error messages.

Hmm, checked in mine (Samsung) and its not there too...

They have started blocking alright. Expect to see error such as 'Youre using proxies yada yada...' soon.

But relax people, there are already walkarounds too.

There’s even a way to test your Netflix performance in real time, thanks to a little-known 11-minute short on Netflix titled Example Short 23.976. Once launched, it will play back a series of unconnected clips—a gurgling fountain, a guy dressed in black moonwalking with a laptop, a time lapse of an evening sky, and a shot of the Netflix office in Los Gatos, among others.

yes!

for sharp ue630x 4k uhd tv series, take note:

update the firmware via settings/about, takes 25 mins, NETFLIX will pop up.

i tried a few things...

.. works smooth on unifi 30 mbps.
.. movies - all "hd", no "4k uhd".
.. tv series - a minority are in "4k ultra hd" - it is displayed.
.. i check daredevil and sense 8 - both, i watched in 1080p before - the netflix versions are superior, i.e. 4k uhd.
.. i did not check audio yet, will do some time later.

now, with that... i just might continue with the subscription.

I am trying netflix on my himedia Q16. I think it is 480p. Is there any way to check the reso when the movie is playing. For ps3, if press the select button, it will show the reso of the movie playing

Well well well.... Look who's smiling now... . List of UHD titles on Netflix as follows;


You r welcome....

Go back a page...Read!!

Note: HiMedia devices aren't Netflix certified and the max resolution is 480p... This has been mentioned so many times. Want full HD/UHD? Get a Netflix certified device... i.e. PS3.

i have tried netflix on both uhd tv and q16.

on the q16 (or any uncertified device), the selection is not even labeled as "hd". which means it is sd (<720p). if the avr or tv has upscaling, it comes out not too bad, almost 720p. this video quality is probably the one for "std package" on whatever device or tv used.

on a certified tv, every show is labeled "hd" or "ultra hd". the hd is 1080p, ultra is 4k. pretty sure about that.

above is, of course, for "uhd package", rm51.

safe to assume for "std package" (RM42), only hd will show up.



checked a bit more for 4k contents... there are a no. of tv shows and a good no. of documentaries in 4k, incl netflix originals.

unfortunately, local version has limited 4k stuff.

hope they improve fast enough, and w/o raising price!

i am quite impressed with the stability of it with unifi30, wifi.

even for 4k videos, there was not a single jerk on the several checked over a couple of hours.

hd videos come out very good too - 1080p, upscaled by tv, very good.



the netflix experience left me with one side thought: with such technology, how long can video shops like speedy last?
