    It’s drm reasons. At least it’s 1080p most streaming services limit it to 720p.

    If I recall correctly the iPad isn’t 4k and 4k doesn’t seem to be supported on any devices that aren’t actually 4k. Really stupid but very common.

      You say DRM, I say artificial limits for no technical reason. Tomayto, tomahto. :)

      But actually, it’s not just DRM. Netflix limits Firefox to 720p, despite it being fully capable of playing Netflix’s 1080 streams. Same with all browsers on Linux. You can trick it into playing 1080p in these “unsupported” browsers with plugins or user-agent spoofing.

      Or at least you could last year; it’s a cat-and-mouse game and it became easier to just pirate stuff than try to un-break Netflix, so I haven’t tried recently.
