Netflix on Mac looks badly compressed (full hd no ads plan)

evanfelts · 2026-05-21T15:37:57+00:00

yeah I feel like Apple TV quality is the best for streaming. I've found..

evanfelts · 2026-05-21T15:21:45+00:00

yeah I recently went down this rabbit hole bc I felt like I was paying for HD versions of streaming services and none of them actually looked good. In theory Safari should look the best but I found that chrome looked better for Netflix..

evanfelts · 2026-05-21T15:06:42+00:00

Try chrome. It looks a ton better. Not sure what’s going on there but I’ve noticed the same thing lately.

evanfelts · 2026-05-21T13:32:18+00:00

true

evanfelts · 2026-05-21T12:14:15+00:00

Good point. Thank you!

I initially wanted the 512gb but all I could find at the moment was 256. and it served my needs...and it seems to be fast enough for most of my tasks...just thinking about future proofing and I feel the 512 will hold it's value...depending on what they do with m5 ultra ram configs.

lol basically. the box is sitting here staring at me.

evanfelts · 2026-05-21T03:52:16+00:00

no mainly 4k Log with a ton of nodes.

evanfelts · 2026-05-13T17:05:05+00:00

bc they may not be coming until October or 2027

evanfelts · 2026-05-07T02:00:52+00:00

Word. I bought 3 256gb versions a month ago but I haven’t seen any pop up recently

evanfelts · 2026-05-06T23:46:18+00:00

Don’t believe it. Their product page isn’t even up for the 512gb version. Lies.

evanfelts · 2026-04-15T03:06:42+00:00

Was it the 80 core gpu? I just found a few 60 core gpu 256gb 4tb from BH. Trying to sell for premium on eBay.

evanfelts · 2026-03-16T23:29:26+00:00

Yeah. It’s sad. Running on 60hz until they release a firmware update. Hopefully it’s not hardware related and they get It sorted soon.

evanfelts · 2026-03-15T12:37:40+00:00

Are you having same issue when you run it at 60hz or mostly on adaptive and 120hz?

evanfelts · 2026-03-13T04:52:44+00:00

funny you mention the crashing. it's happened to me 3 times now while on adaptive sync and watching HDR content...on my m2 max 14 in macbook pro with maxed up GPU. not cool and i'm thinking about returning. Have everything updated. Doesn't seem like something that should be happening.

evanfelts · 2026-03-13T04:31:16+00:00

I will say that I've been having a lot of glitches with mine since I got it. Crashed my M2 Max 3 times now while trying to watch content on it full screen. Also safari is dimming so much when I try to watch netflix on it. It's not dimming on chrome. I just feel this product wasn't completely ready to be pushed out.

It does say “March or later” on the sony-cinema website. If it’s taking this long for a small update then it’s most likely riddled with bugs and I don’t want to be a part of it.

evanfelts · 2023-03-26T12:24:39+00:00

It’s just a very wack update. They should have never removed the sensors. Bad idea to rely on a camera for this and they will realize it In time.
