Do you have a source for that? This page[1] says Firefox and Chrome on Windows, Linux, and Mac only go up to 720p. Chrome on ChromeOs goes up to 1080p, is that still L3?

It seems that many streaming platforms disable 1080p by default, and I assume that this is only for performance reasons (some hardware struggles to run an obfuscated software video decoder...) - it's not a DRM limitation, and in netflix's case it can be re-enabled via trivial changes to the frontend JS.
- Aissen 6y agoOf course you can watch the test streams, but try watching a recent movie from a third party studio and see if it reports the same resolution.
- Retr0spectrum 6y agoThis is true, but if you care about quality you'd go directly to the third party source. All of the content I actually use Netflix for is available in 1080p on L3 (Which matters to me, since L3 is the highest supported level on desktop x86 Linux).
