Netflix 4k on Mac Os11 not working

[Juanj]

Hi,

Can somebody help me?

I'm kinda getting ignored after asking several times on the Netflix 4k needs T2 thread

I'm not getting 4k Netflix to work

- i have a MacBook Air 2020
- i have Netflix UHD subscription
- i have Mac OS 11 beta 9
- i have Safari 14

How to recognize, if a title is 4K/UHD?
Breaking Bad should be 4k, but I'm seeing it when I play the title

Can anybody tell me, what I'm doing wrong?

Greetings

Are you using any external monitors? They need to support HDCP 2.2.

No just my laptop screen , which can display 4k

the MacBook Air Retina screen is 2560 x 1600, 4k is 3840 x 2160, while it may support 4k I think it needs to be 4k native screen, the information about it is pretty vague, only the iMacs seem to have inbuilt screens with a native 4k resolution and higher, which would mean the other supported Macs would need to use an external 4k monitor to get this to work.

Hi, thank you for you're reply.

But very strange that other 4k content (disney+/YouTube) do work with 4k

It might just be that Netflix disables 4K unless you have a 4K screen.
