- chrisseaton 5y ago> The website doesn't deliver 1080p video in any browser but Edge I'm pretty sure I watch HD Netflix in Safari. Surely I can't be watching 720p and be deceiving myself?
- y4mi 5y agoHD starts at 720p. The difference between Netflix 1080 and 720p is often pretty small, so you might've really just not noticed. They're generally streaming with pretty poor bit-rates The first time I watched a pirated episode after years of streaming from Netflix was pretty eye opening for me wrt video quality.
- chrisseaton 5y agoYou’re definitely mistaken - you get up to 4K in the browser with Safari - it’s highlighted in the UI even I think.
- y4mi 5y agoIt's great if it does, not sure how that makes me mistaken though. I never said anything about what was actually supported. My point was that the pixel density is pretty hard to determine with low Bitrate streams as you get them from Netflix.
- endless1234 5y agoSafari is up to 4k on macOS 11+, as per https://help.netflix.com/en/node/55764 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/55764
- banana_giraffe 5y agoSafari on Mac OS can do 4k. Chrome will top out at 720p. You can check for yourself, hit Ctrl-Alt-Shift-D during playback to show a bunch of stats on the stream, including the current resolution being shown.
- moffkalast 5y agoChrome works in 1080p, but has a 1 in something chance of crashing your graphics driver for some reason. After I had to force restart my pc from a black screen for the 3rd time I eventually moved the the desktop app which doesn't have those problems.
