I'm not sure what's unfair about the comparison. No other 1080p source I've tried has this problem. OTA TV, HDHomeRun, Plex, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon, Apple TV+, Vudu, HBO Now -> Max, video game consoles, Blu-ray, and some others. I don't care too much about what the underlying bitrate is. I have a 350 Mbps connection and expect the stream to eventually settle on something high quality. Netflix's HD plan is more expensive than any of the others'. For that, I'd expect the stream to not suck. Some of those services do stream content in 4K and I agree that's not a fair comparison, but they do have HD content and they don't upcharge for the 4K stuff. Keep in mind, it's not like it's Netflix alerted me to a problem. I've used the LG built-in app, so they know what TV I have. I just had shows with crappy scenes for a long time.
