SDR? Sure. But unless something has changed recently, 4K Netflix on PC requires a particular flavor of Windows DRM that is only supported by NVIDIA GPUs starting with Pascal and Intel integrated graphics starting with Kaby Lake‡. On a more technical related note, I'd imagine 4K SDR variants of all Netflix HDR productions are generated on the back-end as an output of the same post-production process used to produce SDR prints at lower resolutions for reasons of both creative control an delivery efficiency; HEVC is just a compression algorithm, after all, and mostly orthogonal to matters of colorspace conversion and tone mapping. See, e.g., https://partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000588548-Color-Pipeline https://partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360... and observe that the example Dolby Vision workflow yields three distinct masters, 1. Dolby Vision (HDR + SDR tone mapping metadata) 2. SDR (generated automatically from the Dolby Vision source) 3. DCI-P3 (for potential theatrical exhibition) I therefore assume the requirements for 4K SDR playback of SDR and HDR titles are identical. ‡ If and only if said Kaby Lake iGPU is connected to a video output. I mention this because I can only watch 4K Netflix on my Hades Canyon NUC with the help of a Pascal eGPU, because, while the Kaby Lake iGPU is present and fully functional, all video outputs connect to the NUC's discrete AMD Polaris GPU, which Netflix doesn't support. DRM sucks.
