Part 1: Watch 4K Netflix on iMac/Macbook Pro/Air in macOS Big Sur
Many Mac users, especially the owner of iMac devices with HD screens have complained that Netflix has no access for watching 4K movies on Mac. However, with the expected macOS Big Sur update, you may soon be able to enjoy 4K UHD on Netflix.
According to a new report from Apple, macOS Big Sur will come with an update to Safari broswer, which delivers support for 4K Netflix streams with Dolby vision HDR. This allows 4K Netflix playback on Mac for the first time. Previously, to stream Netflix at 4K resolution required a Microsoft Edge browser on Windows, or Netflix's Windows app and of course a 4K screen. There is no direct choice to watch 4K Netflix on Mac, you need a software like MacX Video Converter Pro to grab Netflix 4K sources and convert them to 4K for watching.
Nevertheless, currently, to get a full 4K HDR experience on Mac, you only need an update of macOS Big Sur on your Mac computers that supports HDR, subscribe to the Premium plan on Netflix at a cost of $16 per month to get 4K resolution. All done!
