    What really annoys me is paying for the biggest Netflix package to get 4K content, then you watch a somewhat recent (non-Netflix) movie like The Equalizer (2014) and it’s 1080p or less with a terrible bit rate.

    That movie is available in 4K HDR. I know because I downloaded it to my Plex server and switched to watching that after 15 minutes of watching macroblocking and pixelation artefacts via the legal method.

      What annoys me ever more is that despite paying for the 4K tier of the streaming platform, and the ‘best tier’ on my Internet plan. If I were to watch a not insignificant amount of 4k movies - I would hit my ‘data cap’ and be unable to use the Internet at all for the rest of the month.
