> Many services block surround sound and the highest resolutions on any full PC experience I have 4k streaming from Netflix, Disney, Prime. I don't know about sound, but as far as resolution is concerned, I'm fine here. > I'm forced to agree with the article's premise - everyone's gotten worse. I also agree. Windows has native apps for most of the streaming services - have you tried that? You get full 4k, audio and all the usual bits (as far as I'm aware, but I haven't tested). > Plex will randomly flash static on the screen when streaming plain old h264 from the local network I have not experienced this.

> I have 4k streaming from Netflix, Disney, Prime. No you don't. Disney and Prime both only stream in HD in the browser/Windows App and Netflix requires Edge or Safari to stream in 4K and is limited to 720p in Chrome.

  I have a really hard time telling the difference. Edit: in the "App Setting" on the Edge browser, it says up to 4k UHD. On the Windows Store App, in the same place, it says "Up to HD". I use the browser most of the time, and if I'm only getting HD then it's just really good.

>I have not experienced this. AV setups are a pain to debug and I have no patience for it. Something in the Plex -> XBox -> HDMI Cable -> Receiver -> TV pipeline has issues, and it's only Plex on the XBox. Plex on any other device (including Android devices hooked up to the receiver/TV) are fine. Other apps on the XBox are fine. I also have massive issues getting content to direct play on my XBox that worked fine on my Shield similar to this user: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/xmg7xk/xbox_plex_why_is_it_transcoding_on_xbox_series_x/ https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/xmg7xk/xbox_plex_why_... I haven't tried the Windows apps lately, but with whatever they're calling the framework-formally-known-as-UWP I doubt they're much better than the XBox versions. Heck, I bet the XBox versions get more testing.
