Any dip in video quality, then can be attributed to something between the Netflix servers and the device we're viewing the video on. So how can we put this information to good use? Netflix has no reason to limit our connection to their services (unless we expressly, in our account settings, instruct them to do so by setting our video quality to medium or low). As such, unless you're specifically watching a SuperHD video on a SuperHD enabled device, the highest you'll see is 3000Kbps/1280x720 (the Example Short will max out at these settings). Note: the top three video quality options in the chart above, the three with 1920 x 1080 resolution, are part of Netflix's new SuperHD quality tier and are only displayed on certain apps and devices and only on movies and television shows flagged as SuperHD. ![]()
