>>79421510
I agree anon.

here is something that goes a little more in depth to why
http://www.ghacks.net/2016/01/12/want-1080p-playback-on-netflix-dont-use-firefox-or-chrome/

>I don't know, Netflix does not provide the information but from what I read it appears to be based on the unfinished state of HTML video implemented by the browsers. But, there is no confirmation of that.

>"HTML5 hasn't had its DRM standardised yet and until it is the browsers looking to abide by standards won't get 1080p. It's only IE 11 on Win8 [and now Win10 and also Edge - ed.] which takes MS standard approach of going their own way and not following standards which has a DRM that's been fully accepted by the Movie/TV industry "
>PS: goddamn DRM ruining it for everyone

This sounds like a limitation of the browser rather than something imposed by Netflix.

For what purpose?

>>79421593
To watch things, for instance Netflix.

>>79421555
it's not, see >>79421552

it has to do with digital rights management
other streaming services like Youtube/etc can easily play 1080p in Chrome/Firefox, this is a Netflix specific issue

>>79421593

televisions are useless

>>79421781

No they aren't, they have a use: To watch things, such as Netflix.

>>79421796
I literally just pointed out why televisions are useless

>>79421817
And I just pointed out that they have a use.

>>79421736
Having redundant devices suited only for a singular task just seems inconvenient to me.

>>79421739
theres a skip button fag.

>>79421836
It's very convenient, if one stops working you can use another in the interim.

>>79421826
why would you bother with the extra cost and hassle of getting a TV when you can just use my existing computers for that

>>79421858
Have you tried not being poor?

>>79421858
>you can just use my existing computers
It would be a bigger hassle to find you an acquire your computer, I can be at a store that sells televisions in less than 10 minutes. You could be anywhere on Earth.

>>79421858

>>79421836

i hope you have the latest intel CPU with hardware DRM for 4k netflix and not available on all browsers

lmao

I've to admit I did not know this BUT I have to admit EDGE is my netflix browser. I don't use Edge for anything else. I am a FF fan boy and I also tend to use Chrome for certain things (I have two YouTube accounts for example and I am too lazy to log and out so I use Chrome and FF). But yeh funny to see that I am doing it right.

>Normal people watch Netflix on TV

Yeh but HOW, you faggot?
I have my TV hooked up to my PC so of course I watch Netflix on my TV but with the help of my PC so of course I want my program to be 1080p.

>>79422241

Fucking disgusting.

The closest thing I have is an old ex-medical grade CRT for 480i kinography. But it doesn't have a fucking aerial port on it, it's for LD and DVD.

The idea of needing a "big" screen is absurd. Just sit closer. A 20" monitor is bigger than a 60" screen at the right distances, and they both have the same resolution anyway.

>>79422485
I run linux my dude

>>79422385
did you actually read that scare tactics article or just the title?

>>79422558
but you use netflix and other web based services.

You're allowed to use more than one bowser. Just use Edge exclusively for Netflix.

>>79422570

I already unsubbed from Netflix.

I watched everything it had to offer.

Is there an UWP app? Does that let you 1080p? If there is it might help with your autistic fear of Edge.

I haven't seen many displays that can do what CRT's can

>muh scanlines

I have a old dell laptop that has a setting in the BIOS to run resolutions lower than native at 1:1 instead of upscaling it

My tv is 6 years old and is a smart tv so i can use the netflix app there.

But my home theater is only like 2 years old so it also has apps.

Besides that I could watch on xb360, xbone or roku. Fucking plebs.

>>79421436
Kind of hard to watch movies with your gf on a monitor

>>79422742
I commend you and the others who are doing such backflips to avoid admitting why some people own tvs.

I played some ps3 in bed last night for an hour or so on my 65" samsung tv. Its a very nice experience each time i do this and if you sincerely cannot comprehend the uses for tv then thats okay, i accept that and i accept you.

I mean irl im sure id avoid you as you sound like an insufferable douche but online it is okay.

Now go ahead and carefully analyze my post and meticulously tear it apart to feel better about your pathetic self/life. I shall be somewhere else, doing something that matters because i am done pooing now.

>>79421411

The windows app for it. It does 1080p and 5.1 sound, neither of which the regular browser versions do

i watch on my windows 10 pc on my monitor loser

>>79421403
>Netflix is eclusively for watching stuff AWAY from computer.
Actually it's for watching things instantly instead of hunting a good torrent and waiting it to download. Also you have to be connected to a VPN while it downloads which is an added hassle since 4chan will have your VPN banned and you can't game online.

A bigger screen, better colors, you must be deep in the basement to genuinely ask why would anyone watch stuff on a tv
