Netflix video quality not too good: Is that just how they look?

Netflix streaming video quality has more to do with your internet connection than your router. If your internet connection is too slow for Netflix to stream at it's highest quality than the image may look poor. Either way I would not recommend streaming video through wireless. If it is your only option than you may want to install higher gain antennas on either end to help connectivity.

Yes, like others said if it's 1080p or filmed in 4K. There are a few nature docs on Netflix in 4K and they do look noticeably better.

Watching netflix, the playback is choppy. It is as if the hardware can't keep up. It isn't our internet, we watch netflix on a variety of WiFi devices in this house and it works great on all of them. Everything is updated, I have not been able to resolve it. I'm very disappointed.

Good as in resolution quality? Yes its good for the quality it has. Now streaming anything is based on your internet speed.

I have found lower quality resolution with Netflix streaming wirelessly than I get with Amazon using the same speed and config. I have a BluRay player attached that has wireless that I plan to try to see if it is better but I don't think it is the connection since I can stream HD from Amazon and get a totally crisp picture. I have a 10mb connection. UPDATE:As mentioned above I did try streaming Netflix through my Sony BluRay to see if the connection was better. It may have been very marginally better, but did not solve the recurring pixelation problem. In my case at 10mb it may be partially a speed problem. I plan to upgrade to 60 or 90 in the next few weeks and will post another update after that as well.

I don't use Netflix, but according to my research Netflix is still trying to bring 4K streaming to life. The reason is because 4K streaming takes double the bandwidth. Most consumers use only about half the bandwidth required for 4K streaming. I use 4K discs, such as Men In Black (4K version) to watch in 4K. Also, I have a Sony receiver that upscales to 4K (actually near 4K). I stream through it. I use Amazon Instant Video. According to some of the techno geeks, you have to check with your ISP to see if they have you connected up to a 15Mbps (minimum) service. Higher is better. Low streaming speeds will interfere with your 4K streaming; thus, you'll never achieve 4K delivery. Many ISP companies are trying to catch up to the demand. Therefore, check with your ISP to verify your connection speed. If it's too slow, you'll have to upgrade your service. Any 4K signal that goes into the HDMI port of your Sony TV will display as 4K. You have to make sure it's a 4K signal.

I was at Sam's Club the other day and did a side by side comparison of a 32-in 1080p and 720p playing the exact same programming. I felt I could tell a difference in the HD programming. The 720p had less details in the skin tones than the 1080p.

My SD DVDs did not look good either. The upconversion to 1080p cause the picture to "jitter" slightly, but noticeably. I went to "video output settings, selected hdmi (which are the cables I am using), manually set the output to 1080i....and the problem completely went away. My SD DVDs now look as well as they did on my old players.

I have watched 2 Netflix movies, and the quality was super via my home wifi. Is it true High Def? My best answer is "I think so!"

Netflix and Plex are generally okay, but I get stuttering on Amazon probably 50% of the time which is unbearable. I would guess that this unit has a weak CPU that struggles to handle some Amazon encodes @ 1080p. I don't have this issue at all with a Roku 3 and that unit feels much snappier overall.

The 4k has a beautiful picture. I have been very happy with it. Recently Netflix announced some 4k streaming. i viewed some of the offerings and the differences from HD run from minor to significantly clearer almost 3D like. The 4k is pricey vs what is available on 1080 and the return on investment is not yet confirmed but given what i saw on Netflix it is promising.

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

The picture quality depends on your file. If you have a video file or a photo of low quality/resolution, do not expect too see it as HD. If you have high quality files, then it will play them great.

Jose answered the first question correctly. As far as the second goes I didn't notice any degradation in the video quality. I'm sure there might be an extremely slight bit but it wasn't enough for my untrained unprofessional eye to notice.

Have been really impressed! Had to use my laptop over the holidays with Netflix and it was more than I expected! Hope this helps with your decision....
