Are you looking to make the most out of at-home movie nights? With Netflix, you can improve your movie marathons by streaming content in 4K. But how can you find 4K movies or TV series? And what are the requirements so you can watch 4K content? Keep reading to find out.
How to Find 4K Content on Netflix
Unfortunately, Netflix didn’t put together a 4K or UltraHD category, so finding 4K content isn’t as streamlined as it should be. To find 4K movies or TV series on your computer, you need to go to the Netflix website and use "4K" or "UltraHD" as search terms.
If you want to check if a certain movie is available in 4K, hover your cursor over it and check if it has a 4K label within its description.
Does Netflix Have a Secret Code for 4K Content?
If you’ve been a Netflix subscriber for a while, you may know of Netflix secret codes which help you find new content. However, at the time of writing, Netflix doesn’t have a secret code to help you find 4K or Ultra HD movies.
Instead, you could use a third-party website to check the list of available 4K content. On Justwatch, you can add more filters, such as release year, production country, or age rating, to increase the chances of finding what you want.
What Do You Need to Watch 4K Content on Netflix?
If you don’t see the 4K label while searching for a movie, go through the list below to make sure you meet Netflix requirements to play 4K content:
- The right Netflix plan. Only the Premium plan, which currently costs $19.99/month, allows you to play 4K content. If you have a different plan, you can change your Netflix plan.
- A compatible device. The best way to check if your device is 4K compatible is to take a look at its specifications. Additionally, you can contact the manufacturer for more information.
- The best software. Even if your computer is 4K compatible, you should use the Netflix app for Windows 10 and 11, Microsoft Edge for Windows, or Safari on a Mac with macOS 11.0 or later to enjoy 4K content.
- Fast internet. You need an internet speed of at least 15MB. You can check your internet speed online to see if it’s fast enough.
- Proper streaming quality. By default, Netflix streaming quality is set to Auto, so it doesn’t take too much of your bandwidth. To watch Netflix in 4K, you should set it to High. To do so, click your profile icon, head to Account > Playback Settings, and select High.
Enjoy Netflix 4K Content
If you want to create the perfect home theater, 4K content is just one of the ingredients. Now you can enjoy the best streaming quality that Netflix has to offer. If you have to switch to the Premium plan, make sure your hardware can play 4K content so you don’t end up paying more for the same video quality.
