Netflix lower quality than other streams?

The day before yesterday I treated myself to Netflix Premium again. Unfortunately I had to find out that the quality is extremely poor. The quality is a lot better on other free streaming sites. So how can it be that Netflix has such a dirty quality? I have even switched to maximum data consumption and have also made sure that I really use Premium. In addition, it shows me that I can only stream with Full HD although I have a WQHD capable device.

Only the Edge Browser can FHD! I don't know whether it can also do 4K

Your internet speed may not be enough for a decent resolution. If the speed breaks, providers like Netflix automatically reduce the quality so that the film can still be watched.

If you have any downloads during the stream, you should simply turn off the PC because some downloads, e.g. From Win, are not always shown, making it safer.

That's not true. I can stream in 4K with my PC without any problems. In addition, I currently have no access

Vo

🤦♂️HD IN NETFLIX! YOUTUBE IN 4K CAN OF COURSE ALSO CHROME!

I stream on my mobile phone and currently have the best internet contract. I think that all the idiots hang around on Netflix during Corona and thus load the servers.

Do you mean Netflix Premium for 10 or 18 euro? The 10 version can only be FHD as far as I know

I pay 18 euro and have premium with alleged "Ultra HD"

Well, first of all, you'd be one of those idiots too. On the other hand, everything runs smoothly on my TV.

Check your internet speed on your cell phone. The best contract in the world will not help you if there's no transmission tower that can do that. In addition, the price is relatively irrelevant. Just because you're buying something expensive doesn't mean it's good. Compare the competition.

Or your phone is overloaded to show this high because the hardware is too weak. Then a lower quality setting can even make for a better look.

So

I think at least that's how it is for me, it depends on the internet speed. If you have faster internet then you can watch higher quality because Netflix lowers the quality on slow internet so that the movie is not interrupted

Well I have now solved the main problem. And I stream with a Samsung Galaxy S20+

Nu

Is the movie / series you are watching in 1080p? How far is the router from the cell phone? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz set on the router for the mobile phone?

Works again. Had a problem with my purchase.
