Love that they intentionally blur the 1080p image too. I love 4k but the difference isn't that huge, that's an SD image next to 4k.

All around shitty. Charge for quality or device count. Not both.

I've got a 1080p TV. I have had it for 10+ years and I will continue to have it until it craps out.

I've seen 4k. Yes it's better. Is it better enough? Not for me, and my eyes aren't getting any younger.

I also save money, since gaming at 1080 with great framerates is much easier too. And storing 1080 media etc (hell, even 720 with upscaling isn't too bad).

I guess my point is: come at me Netflix; keep annoying me with your ads. They literally have 0% chance of success.

They also increased the saturation/contrast too.

Your can't achieve infinite growth by just making a good product.

-Password crackdown

-Removal of Basic Plan

-Aggressive advertising to up-package

-Focus on 1-3 years of low-budget 'reality' TV

Yikes. Netflix is hellbent on extracting maximum revenue possible, regardless of how shitty their product gets in the meantime.

Crazy to charge extra for what would be considered the default TV resolution in 2023, imo. Not even going to touch on how fake of a comparison that is.

[–] ZiemekZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

IMHO default TV resolution is still 1080p.
