Netflix video quality

Yes, xbox one supports super HD Netflix streams.

However, the xbox one app lists them as merely HD for some reason, but i tested a video on Netflix that displayed the bitrate and resolution of the stream and it matched up with the standards that Netflix deem to be Super HD.

I'm curious,however. You say you want to upgrade to super hd, but i pay the standard monthly rate (in the u.k) for Netflix and get Super HD on xbox one.

Are you saying you have to pay extra for super hd? Or have i misunderstood?

Hi, if I'm not mistaken you can set the streaming quality by signing into your Netflix account online and setting the streaming quality for every device you use to stream Netflix on but you can't set the quality per device.

Sign into Netflix and go to your account profile and you'll see the option to set the Playback Settings there. You may though need to settle for a lower than HD quality as it appears that the highest setting covers both HD and 4K streaming.

These are the available options

Auto

Default video quality and data usage.

Low

Basic video quality, up to 0.3GB per hour

Medium

Standard video quality, up to 0.7GB per hour

High

Best video quality, up to 3GB per hour for HD, 7GB per hour for Ultra HD

That setting is per account, so any changes will affect only the account you make the changes on.

I was just coming here to post about the Amazon Video app. Just started using it recently and noticed that the video quality sucks. Is this how it always is with this app? No HD quality like the Netflix app?

I'm on like a 6mbps connection, and my streaming is A1. Maybe try a router power cycle refresh and a full XB1 power cycle refresh and see if it helps.

mine runs fine in HD just got a 4K tv and netfilx has some 4K content.
