![]() ![]() If you look about halfway down the matrix-like gibberish (to me at least), you'll see "Playing bit rate" and it will show the resolution of the current viewport: 3840x2160 if in 4k. How? By using Netflix's super-secret keyboard code Shift-Control-Option+D which shows statistics about the currently streaming movie. HOWEVER: when I watch a movie, I'm able to see if it is indeed streaming in 1080p or in 4k. Somehow, the website needs to detect that a) you have the T2 chip, b) your monitor is running 60hz and c) that you have a fast internet connection. Recently, I've been seeing the UHD logo sporadically which indicates that perhaps this is something they are working on. So, while browsing, it will often show the plain old HD logo instead of UHD. It appears that Netflix doesn't always do a good job of detecting whether or not your computer / browser are capable of Ultra HD (UHD). I did reach out to Netflix (first thing I did) and obviously am aware of the note about "may not be available at all times." I usually post on the forums as a last resort, so I've typically exhausted all the obvious avenues.Īt any rate, an update if anyone is looking for solutions:
