Netflix resolution? 4k hdr vs hd?

I think 4k hdr looks worse than hd on my 4k tv. And in some series, for example, ratched what was previously marked with hd is now marked with 4k hdr. Maybe I just imagine that it looks worse. Why is Netflix doing this?

Yes, if you are imagining it. 4k is much better. But your internet connection is also important. That always forms correctly according to your Internet, if the best what your line gives is Full HD then you will only stream in Full HD. Your broadband connection may not be sufficient and you mean the 4K looks worse even though the film / series is not broadcast in 4k at all.

4k hdr was re-encoded or not

Pe

Yes, but if your internet doesn't offer 4K, for example, you won't have 4K even if it is in the description.

I get around 48mbits that should be enough for 4k. Min. Is at 25 mbits for 4k

Pe

What kind of TV do you have? Because the 4k looks worse, it can't be.

Nu

Well, it is absolutely impossible that it looks worse. There are enough films that were subsequently upscaled to 4K with HDR and then got more image artifacts or smears because cheap editing techniques were used.

If the source material has not even been produced in HD, resampling in 4K does not improve the quality
