NF 4K

As Chrome (for Windows 10/11) supports 4K streaming in NF, when will SF support 4K downloads?

Thought about testing web-extension - it didn’t work for me due to some errors.
But at least I found 4K IS being played in Chrome even at my 3K laptop.
So guys I really hope we all finally get 4K from NF soon.

As you can see in your previous post, it doesn’t offered in CEF
-> therefore, it is not available for download in SF.

btw: changing user-agent change nothing - to remember:

To watch Netflix in 4K, you must subscribe to the Premium plan, as the Standard and Standard with Ads tiers are capped at 1080p resolution.

Requirements for 4K Streaming

Hardware: You need a 4K Ultra HD TV (or compatible external streaming device) with an HEVC decoder, HDMI 2.0 (or higher), and HDCP 2.2 compliance.
Internet: A stable broadband connection of at least 15 Mbps is required, though 25 Mbps is strongly recommended to prevent buffering.
Settings: On your device, navigate to Account > Playback Settings and set streaming quality to High to allow 4K playback.
Content and Performance

Availability: Not all titles are in 4K; look for the “Ultra HD 4K”, “Dolby Vision”, or “Dolby Atmos” labels on the title’s details page.
Offline Viewing: While online streaming supports 4K, offline downloads are limited to a maximum of 1080p resolution.
PC Limitations: On computers, 4K playback is generally restricted to the Microsoft Edge browser or the Netflix Windows app; other browsers like Chrome or Firefox typically max out at 1080p.
Feature Standard / Standard with Ads Premium (4K)
Max Resolution 1080p 4K (2160p)
Simultaneous Screens 2 4
Offline Downloads 2 Devices (1080p) 6 Devices (1080p max)
Price (US) $7.99 / $15.49 $24.99
Note: While 4K offers sharper detail on large screens, the visual difference is often most noticeable when paired with HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dolby Vision content, which Premium subscribers exclusively access.

You wonder if with all these requirements that might be why it has not been done in SF.
And the SF cef browser would need to also be changed to support the 4K.
Imagine if they did and users report it don’t do 4K and it’s something then with users computer not having all the requirements.
From what I can tell if I had the 4K plan and hooked my computers display only to my 4k tv via hdmi it should work.
I don’t see me getting the 4k plan unfortunately, but do know i can disconnect my 1080 monitor and hook my graphics card to my 4k tv via hdmi.

Is there any plan to support 4K (SDR, HDR10, DV) downloads in NF? (Considering Chrome supports 4K streaming with other requirements like GPU, 4K display/monitor etc)
Detailed answer will help existing and prospective users

NF will never offer SDR in 4k ..
.. and while (almost) everyone wants 4K,
even H264 High is currently unavailable.

As long as it can’t work, since it’s not offered
to anyone in CEF, there’s no point in planning.

Germania My request is to the developers.
There are movies/series in NF which is available in 4K SDR.

We confirmed that Netflix removed the H265 SDR stream video files.
And the option also will be removed from StreamFab.

Since you probably mean AV1 SDR, I crossed out that from my previous post.

I have already crossed out my statement ..

itzperwezchaudhury Hint - If you pick HDR Dolby Vision even though video track selection is empty, it’ll download H265 SDR. It was previously stated H265 SDR is discontinued by Netflix, but it’s not true. Just today I downloaded Money Heist and Interview With Vampire S01 in H265 SDR using this trick.
