Wow, they should really make that clearer, especially since IIRC they charge for 4K streaming... This is probably how they get away with providing 4K without destroying their network: by making people think they are getting 4K when most are really are just watching 720p

If you don’t realise it’s not 4K, maybe it’s not worth the extra cost

  Yeah, that's why they should say something. I was not aware I was getting lower quality, I thought the movies look awful.

    Why are you paying for it?
    - TomMarius 7y ago
      Exactly, I am not anymore. I wouldn't be at all if I knew it. I'm not watching much and most of the time it's Star Trek TNG or similarly aged stuff, so I didn't realize this might be the case. The girlfriend watches (way) more.

Most people don't watch it on computer monitors, so most people actually are getting 4k. None of this applies to streaming boxes or smart TVs.

  You know what Smart TVs do, right? (I'm just saying, because apparently there were people unaware they are paying to get screwed from all sides at once)

"Wow" They have only been lying about this since the beginning and never stopped. So has Spotify. Were you also paying for gold-plated HDMI with built-in virus scanner? I thought people were voluntarily buying in to this bullshit, because they feel the obligation to financially support the content industry. I mean that's what everybody who thinks this is important is going on about all the time. None of them are seriously arguing you actually get a good deal out of it.
