Netflix 4k

Anyone got/use this?
Got the normal Netflix sub, thinking of going for the 4k or UHD option, its a bit of a jump at an extra £5 pm. I cant find any info on what the selection is like and what the compression is like to see if it is worth the money.

I do have a 4k telly.

Also when is 3d coming to Netflix, don't really want to have to mess about with proxies .

Any advice is appreciated

Chances are your TV won't support it, unless it's a 2014 model TV

There's not a lot of content yet. I've only tested it briefly so far on the nature footage as I've already watched BB and HoC. Will give it a better go over xmas when I have more time

Really it is only a couple of shows at the moment so only worth it if your going to watch them House of cards and breaking bad is about it.

I have a 4k Netflix capable TV but I will not be paying for the 4k service and will simply wait until I can get my movies in native 4k they should start appearing soon.

It is looking promising for the short term as the standards are just about sorted out now and the actual movie sizes are much smaller than expected, nearer 50G than the expected 100-150g and most will even fit on a std blu ray disc although they would not play from one.

3D is already on Netflix.

Had a play on my brothers tv as he upgraded his sub but couldn't really see any difference (he's gone back to a normal sub now as there was nothing to watch).

They should focus more on increasing the bitrate rather than resolution, that and higher quality audio.

Would much prefer Netflix to focus on a higher bitrate as this would benefit everyone rather than the <1% who have 4K

US. A reasonable range of films. I enjoy the surfing ones.
