    Netflix should be already on your HDR-1100S on demand options. It's on my HDR-1000S essentially the same box.
    Netflix has always been available on G2 boxes. It's Amazon prime that is missing.
    Other than 4K content played from the app on my 4K 55" LG Oled. Full HD content looks much the same.
    Unless your TV is a 4K one which would obviously look sharper if you are streaming 4K content
    You did not post if you are using WiFi or direct cabling.

    Yes, I do have a 4K LG Oled 55", but I don't use 4K as not subscribed to Netflix 4K, just the standard one.
    I can get Prime on the TV and that does seem to be better quality.
    Not to worry, it's no biggy. was just curious, and probably just my eyes lol
    But thanks for your input all the same.

    Youtube has free 4K content. Some of it is 4K60. You should try this to show how good your TV is.

    Occasionally iplayer has 4K-HDR HLG (Hybrid Log gamma - HDR), When available it's pretty impressive.

    Really? I didn't know Netflix had free content.

    What makes the 60 in 4K so important, is it 60 frames a second?
    I couldn't find anything definite by Googling.
    It's such a minefield out there especially for an old git like me

    It's not netflix, you have YouTube.

    There's tons of free content on YouTube

    Open the YouTube app on your TV and search for 4K.

    Your humax box only has 1080p support. 4K is 2160p

    Yes UK TV is 25 fps. The highest framerate supported on 4K with a 18gbps cable or on your TV is 60 fps.

    It's not Netflix it's YouTube. Which you should already have on your 4K TV

    I am an old git. 76 in a few days time.

    The higher the framerate the faster the action can be without the dropping frames.

    Try a few out.

    Open the Youtube app on your TV. Search for 4K

    Your Humax box only supports 1080p (4k Is 2160p)

    Cheers graham.
    I'm 72, so perhaps I'll grow into your knowledge
