Nuked The forthcoming MacOS Big Sur includes a Safari update that reportedly lets you watch Netflix in 4K, along with Dolby vision HDR. Ishan Agarwal tweeted: Ishan Agarwal (via 9to5Mac).
This may mark the first time MacOS users will be able to stream Netflix in 4K. Previously, streaming 4K Netflix on a computer at all required you to be on Windows and using Microsoft’s edge browser or the Netflix Windows 10 app. But just loading up Safari, which is installed with MacOS Big Sur, could be a far easier option once Big Sur is released.
Netflix on MacOS Big Sur’s Safari browser just gave me 4K stream with Dolby vision on MacBook Pro!.
Many Apple products introduced since 2018 support HDR. You may also need to be subscribed to Netflix’s $ 15.99 per month premium plan.
Netflix streams on MacOS may be capped at 1080p. If you’re using Safari, Netflix may stream as low at 720p.
