Picture quality depends on the full playback chain
Common 4K UHD resolution is 3840 by 2160 pixels. To display a programme at that resolution, the source, player and television must all support it. A TV can upscale an HD image, but upscaling does not turn it into a native 4K source.
Compression, player performance and network conditions also affect the result. The speed available at the television may differ from the headline speed for your household connection, especially when other devices are online.
HDR, Dolby Vision and advanced audio formats require support from the programme and playback equipment. Content and territorial availability can change, so check the offer details before subscribing. Current prices, screen limits and return terms are listed on the relevant pages of this site.
