A way to finally watch Netflix in the highest quality possible. This extension forces 1080p FHD playback, as well as the option to force 5.1 AAC playback.Normally, Netflix only plays back a maximum of 720p and AAC2.0. However, with this extension, those restrictions can finally be removed. ***Out of the box, Netflix-1080p just forces 1080p AVCHi streams to be included in the streams for playback. However, there are a few options you may tweak in the extension's options menu (all left unchecked by default):- Use 5.1 audio when available: Netflix normally plays back AAC2.0 in 64kbps and 96kbps. However, by checking this option, you override those streams for 128kbps AAC5.1, which can take advantage of surround sound setups!- Automatically select best bitrate available: Checking this option allows you to always playback the highest quality streams, no matter how fast Netflix thinks your connection is.- Use VP9 instead of H.264: For older computers, decoding VP9 in software can be faster and more efficient than decoding H.264 in software. Check this option if you notice slowdown or dropped frames with 1080p AVC playback.***This extension is free and will remain free. It is licensed under the MIT license, and is completely open source.I welcome any and all contributions! GitHub is linked below.***GitHub + more in-depth explanation: -1080p

If you have a 4K monitor or, better yet, a 4K TV, then it only makes sense that you'll want to know how to watch Netflix in 4K. Unfortunately, there are a ton of issues that can get between you and a decent resolution during your next movie or show viewing session. Here are the most common (and even a few rare) problems we're seeing with Netflix resolution issues and how to fix them.

Here are the most common problems you'll encounter and fixes to try. For more details, keep reading as we examine each one in detail:* Make sure you have a plan that supports a higher resolution. Basic plans only support 720p.* Make sure your TV/monitor and any connecting cables support 4K (or better) resolution.* If you're using Chrome, your Netflix experience will be capped at 4K. Try the browsers and fixes we recommend below for better quality.* You'll need an internet download speed of 10Mbps, minimum.* Some ISPs throttle Netflix speeds, causing issues in possible playback quality.* During peak hours, picture quality is known to suffer. Try watching again later.

Low: Streaming at this level will use about 0.3GB per hour. Streaming in low quality will force the content to play at standard definition. This is the best option for those with poor connections or those who are streaming with data limits.

High: Streaming in high quality opens you up to HD and 4K UHD streams with the Premium plan, but that also means your data usage could vary quite a bit. Depending on your network, you could be using 3GB per hour for basic 720p streaming or up to 7GB per hour for 4K Ultra HD streaming.

Auto: As the name implies, this will let your streaming quality fluctuate with your current internet speeds and network connection to provide the most stable streaming experience, as well as playback at the highest quality that your plan allows. With that stability, however, comes a greater likelihood of drops in quality.

Step 4: Finally, note that not all Netflix content is in 4K or will automatically update to 4K. Instead, you can search Netflix with terms like "4K" and "UltraHD" to pinpoint options.

Hardware is also an important part of watching high-quality Netflix, especially if you are aiming for UHD quality. You will need at least a 60Hz TV or monitor that is designed to display 4K, and if you are streaming via an additional device, compatible HDMI cables are important, too. If you're using a laptop to stream, it will obviously need to be 4K capable and powerful enough, but even so, the browser you're using will need to support HD or 4K, too (more on that below).

If you want to see the best shows on Netflix, the best way to do so would be through a Netflix free trial. But do they have one, and if not are there other ways to get the streaming giant for free? We investigate.
Is there a Netflix free trial?

Unlike some other streaming services, Netflix does not have a free trial. That's a tough break for the "try before you buy" crowd, but the sad truth is that, like Disney+, Netflix has a pretty captive audience and doesn't really need to do much to entice people to sign up. The good news is that there are no contracts or commitments to worry about if you decide the service isn't for you, or just want to take a break for awhile. There are also ways to get Netflix for free through third party sign-ups.

If you can hear clearly, you'll likely want to turn Netflix subtitles off so you can see the full screen distraction free. The only problem is the instructions are different for every Netflix-supported device, but we have you covered. Here's how to turn off Netflix subtitles on the most commonly used devices.
How to turn off Netflix subtitles on Android devices

Step 1: While your show or movie plays, tap on your screen.
Step 2: A Dialogue icon should appear. When it does, select it.
Step 3: Your audio or subtitle options will pop up. Select the off option under Subtitles.

There's one type of video quality you can't just select using these steps: 4K. That's because Netflix charges extra for its 4K plan. In order to get 4K video, you'll need to upgrade to a plan which includes that option. From the Account screen, click Change Plan and select a 4K option.

Netflix doesn't give you an option to manually change video quality or to do it while you're watching a video. Netflix detects your available bandwidth and automatically adjust video quality to match it and to deliver video to you. That generally works pretty well and is the best you can do. Changing the video quality won't help when Netflix is buffering.

If your internet should be fast enough to deliver a high-quality stream, but you aren't seeing one, you may have a bandwidth issue. Online games, downloads, and people streaming in other rooms can all slow down your connection to Netflix. Turn off anything that might be using up bandwidth. Otherwise, try troubleshooting your internet connection.

As the coronavirus pandemic forces people around the world to stay inside, streaming platforms, including Netflix and YouTube, have been forced to throttle video quality in Europe amid unprecedented demand, and YouTube said that it will now begin doing the same globally.

\"We continue to work closely with governments and network operators around the globe to do our part to minimize stress on the system during this unprecedented situation,\" a Google spokesperson told ABC News in a statement. \"Last week, we announced that we were temporarily defaulting all videos on YouTube to standard definition in the European Union. Given the global nature of this crisis, we will expand that change globally starting today.\"

EU officials have been in talks with leaders of some of the major players in the video streaming industry starting last week, asking them to take steps to ensure they're using telecom networks as efficiently as possible as government-mandated stay-in-place orders take effect throughout the region.

\"If you are particularly tuned into video quality you may notice a very slight decrease in quality within each resolution,\" Florance added. \"But you will still get the video quality you paid for.\"

Florance noted that internet service providers around the world vary greatly, and that \"some partners in regions such as Latin America want us to reduce our bandwidth as soon as possible. But others want to continue with business as usual.\"

Amazon officials similarly said Monday that they had already taken action in Europe -- and while the reductions in video quality have not yet impacted the U.S., they are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to take action if called upon by government agencies.

\"We support the need for careful management of telecom services to ensure they can handle the increased internet demand with so many people now at home full-time due to COVID-19,\" a Prime Video spokesperson told ABC News in a statement.

Disney's streaming service, Disney+, will temporarily reduce its overall bandwidth utilization by at least 25% \"in all of the markets launching Disney+\" starting on Tuesday, Kevin Mayer, the chairman of direct-to-consumer and international at The Walt Disney Company said in a statement.

\"In the coming days, we will be monitoring Internet congestion and working closely with Internet service providers to further reduce bitrates as necessary to ensure they are not overwhelmed by consumer demand,\" Mayer added. \"We look forward to the launch of Disney+ and hope it will provide a much-needed respite for families in these challenging and trying times.\"
