4K streaming Netflix has come to Windows 10, and exclusively by Microsoft. The problem is that it is a truly exclusive, super exclusive release, since the requirements that the user must meet in order to enjoy the content in Ultra HD are a few, and many go through to go directly to the electronics store to buy a new equipment.

While other platforms were already compatible with 4K content, such as video game consoles like Xbox One or PS4 in their latest versions, the Netflix player on the web did not yet have those capabilities. The streaming service has taken its first step forward to make this a reality, but to enjoy as a user must be part of a fairly small niche, at least for now.
