Netflix and 4K Upscale? - eviltoast

I’ve been meaning to ask this for a while…. I have a OLED (which I know just about anything looks good on) and the Netflix Standard plan. While watching Netflix, there’s just absolutely no way that this is the max 1080P resolution advertised. In settings on AppleTV, I manually selected the resolution and the TV itself confirms that the output is still showing Full 4K Dolby while on Netflix.

Are my eyes just deceiving me and upscale is happening, or does the fact that I force the full resolution in the settings make Netflix provide me with essentially their “premium” plan for free?

I’ve had this Netflix account since 07’ and despite the whole password sharing crackdown, I have yet to experience any pushback. Maybe as an almost 20 year long customer they’re going soft on me, idk?

    Would be really interesting to know given the big price increases.

    I changed my Netflix back to standard but felt that the quality had dropped but maybe it was just what I was watching, so I’ve put it back to premium but am I just convincing myself that it’s better….?
