Hi, I'm trying to get Netflix to play in 4k on my HTPC.
I have a Gigabyte H110M-S2H with an I5 7500.
The res is set to 4k on the PC and displayed on the TV, however Netflix wont show any 4k titles, I've looked into it quite a lot with no luck. It seems it needs to be able to support 60hz, HDCP 2.2 and HDR, which mine doesn't.
I'm on Windows 10 and have installed the HEVC video extension.
So I'm thinking something like a 10 series intel, maybe a ryzen with built in GPU or a low profile graphics card (not sure which one).
4k works okay with Kodi.
Any other ideas or what's the cheapest option for this?

No, although I do have sky and a smart TV. But wanted to be able to do it on the PC as it's meant to be my media PC lol. I suppose the sensible option is just to use sky or the TV.
I just figured if it wasn't too much then it would be worth it.
Oh and thanks btw :)
