Netflix 是网络上最大、最受欢迎的流媒体服务(most popular streaming services)之一。它的内容可以以各种质量级别播放，但观看 4K 内容并不像拥有一台可以以 4K 显示它的电视那么简单。您还需要家庭网络和Internet连接的带宽。
您可以在Netflix上更改多项设置以提高播放质量。这可以帮助您更好地流式传输高质量的节目，但它也可以帮助您充分利用低于标准的带宽来获得尽可能高的质量。
5 Netflix 质量设置以改善内容播放(5 Netflix Quality Settings to Improve Content Playback)
您可以采取多个步骤来提高Netflix质量。
流内容一分钟(Stream Content for One Minute)
您应该采取的第一步是简单地给Netflix时间。在切换到更高质量的视频流之前，该服务可能会以较低的分辨率流式传输(stream at a lower resolution)长达一分钟。给Netflix足够的时间来缓冲和加载内容，但如果 60 秒后质量没有提高，请继续执行下一步。
Check Your Wi-Fi Speed/Connect Via Ethernet
您的ISP可能会达到一定的速度，但这并不一定意味着您获得了该速度。一些路由器对它们通过给定连接传输的带宽有限制。您的设备离路由器越远，Wi-Fi就越弱。
如果您在播放Netflix(Netflix)时遇到问题，请尝试通过以太网连接您的设备(connecting your device through Ethernet)。与某些路由器相比，以太网(Ethernet)连接更稳定并允许更多带宽。
如果您想观看 720p 的内容，则需要至少 3 MB 的网速。高清分辨率至少需要 5 MB，而 4K 内容则需要大幅提升至至少 25 MB。
您可以在大多数浏览器和移动设备上的应用程序中执行Netflix速度测试。
- 打开网飞。(Netflix.)
- 选择您的个人资料。
- 如果在移动设备上，请点击右上角的个人资料图片（方形图标），然后选择应用程序设置。(App Settings.)
- 在About(About)下选择最底部的Internet Speed Test。
在移动设备上，这会将您带到一个单独的网站。
切换到其他浏览器(Switch to a Different Browser)
问题可能出在您的浏览器中。并非所有浏览器都允许相同的速度，并且有些浏览器会限制可用的视频质量。将您的浏览器与允许的最高视频质量进行比较：
- 谷歌浏览器：720p
- 火狐：720p
- 歌剧(Opera)：720p
- 野生动物园：4K
- 边缘：4K
请注意，从Safari(Safari)和Edge显示 4K 内容存在硬件限制。您将需要 macOS 11 和 2018 Mac或 4K 显示器和第 7 代Intel Core CPU，以及最新版本的Windows。
更改播放设置(Change Your Playback Settings)
Netflix根据可用带宽和其他因素设置播放设置。例如，Netflix的移动应用程序往往会限制数据使用，以防止用户超出上限。您可以更改这些设置，为自己提供更多带宽并获得更高质量的流。
在 iOS 上，您可以在Netflix应用程序中进行调整。
- 打开Netflix App 并选择您的个人资料。
- 点击右上角的图标。
- 点击应用设置。(App Settings.)
- 点击视频播放(Video Playback)下最顶部的蜂窝数据使用情况(Cellular Data Usage)。
- 点击滑块以关闭自动(Automatic)，然后选择最大数据。(Maximum Data.)
这样做可以保证Netflix将使用尽可能多的数据在您的移动设备上流式传输内容，但只有在您拥有无限数据（或无限金钱来支付所有这些超额费用）时才选择此选项。它将消耗移动数据快节奏。
请注意，您还需要良好的手机信号来传输更高质量的内容。如果您所在的区域接收效果不佳，则您的直播质量会较低。
在 Web 平台上，您可以以类似的方式调整这些设置。
- 打开网飞。(Netflix.)
- 选择右上角的个人资料图标，然后选择帐户。(Account.)
- 向下滚动并选择播放设置(Playback settings)。
- 选择高(High)而不是自动(Auto )，然后选择保存。(Save.)
Netflix为高质量视频使用了更多带宽，但您不会遇到那么多播放问题。请注意，您每小时可能会消耗多达 7 GB 的数据。
改变你的计划(Change Your Plan)
您可能无法访问更高质量的流，因为您没有为正确的计划付费。Netflix有三个计划：基本(Basic)、标准( Standard)和高级。(Premium.)
基本(Basic)计划每月 8.99 美元，但在任何设备上都将流媒体质量限制为 480p 。标准(Standard)计划的全品质 1080p 视频每月 13.99 美元。高级计划是您想要的超高清视频和HDR选项，每月 17.99 美元。
您还应该注意，并非Netflix上的所有内容都以更高分辨率提供。某些内容仅限于标准或高清，没有可用的 4K 选项。
不要觉得你被低质量的内容所困，或者你不得不忍受口吃和不断的缓冲。如果您的Netflix 播放(Netflix playback)质量不符合要求，请使用这些Netflix质量设置来解决问题。
5 Netflix Quality Settings to Improve Content Playback
Netflix is one of the biggеst and most popular streaming services on the web. Its content can be played at a variety of quality levels, but watching 4K content isn’t as simple as having a TV that can display it at 4K. You also need the bandwidth on your home network and from your Internet connection.
There are multiple settings you can change on Netflix to improve the quality of your playback. This can help you better stream high-quality shows, but it can also help you make the most of subpar bandwidth to get the highest quality possible.
5 Netflix Quality Settings to Improve Content Playback
There are multiple steps you can take to improve Netflix quality.
Stream Content for One Minute
The first step you should take is to simply give Netflix time. The service might stream at a lower resolution for up to one minute before switching to the higher quality video stream. Give Netflix sufficient time to buffer and load the content, but if the quality hasn’t improved after 60 seconds, move on to the next steps.
Check Your Wi-Fi Speed/Connect Via Ethernet
You might have up to a certain speed available from your ISP, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting that speed. Some routers have limits on how much bandwidth they transmit through a given connection. The further your device is from the router, the weaker the Wi-Fi will be.
If you are experiencing problems with Netflix playback, try connecting your device through Ethernet. Ethernet connections are steadier and allow more bandwidth than some routers.
If you want to watch content at 720p, you will need a minimum internet speed of 3 MB. HD resolution requires a minimum of 5 MB, while 4K content jumps dramatically to a minimum of 25 MB required.
You can perform a Netflix speed test from within the app on most browsers and mobile devices.
- Open Netflix.
- Select your profile.
- If on a mobile device, tap on your profile pic at the top right (square icon) and select App Settings.
- Select Internet Speed Test at the very bottom under About.
On a mobile device, this takes you to a separate website.
Switch to a Different Browser
The problem might lie in your browser. Not all browsers allow the same speed, and some cap the available video quality. Compare your browser to the maximum video quality allowed:
- Google Chrome: 720p
- Firefox: 720p
- Opera: 720p
- Safari: 4K
- Edge: 4K
Note that there are hardware restrictions on displaying 4K content from both Safari and Edge. You will need macOS 11 and a 2018 Mac or a 4K display and a 7th-generation Intel Core CPU, plus the latest version of Windows respectively.
Change Your Playback Settings
Netflix sets playback settings based on available bandwidth and other factors. For example, the mobile app for Netflix tends to restrict data usage to prevent users from going over their cap. You can change these settings to give yourself more bandwidth and achieve a higher quality stream.
On iOS, you can adjust this from within the Netflix app.
- Open the Netflix app and select your profile.
- Tap the icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap App Settings.
- Tap Cellular Data Usage at the very top under Video Playback.
- Tap the slider to turn Automatic to off, and then select Maximum Data.
Doing this guarantees that Netflix will use as much data as it needs to stream content on your mobile device, but only choose this option if you have unlimited data (or unlimited money to pay all those overage charges.) It will burn through mobile data at a fast pace.
Be aware that you also need a decent cell signal to stream higher-quality content. If you’re in an area with poor reception, your stream will be of lower quality.
On a web platform, you can adjust these settings in a similar way.
- Open Netflix.
- Select your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Account.
- Scroll down and select Playback settings.
- Select High instead of Auto and then select Save.
Netflix uses dramatically more bandwidth for high-quality video, but you won’t run into as many playback issues. Just be aware that you might burn through as much as 7 GB per hour.
Change Your Plan
You might not have access to higher-quality streams because you don’t pay for the right plan. Netflix has three plans: Basic, Standard, and Premium.
The Basic plan is $8.99 per month, but caps streaming quality at 480p on any device. The Standard plan is $13.99 per month for full-quality 1080p video. The Premium Plan is the option you want for ultra-high-definition video and HDR, at $17.99 per month.
You should also note that not everything on Netflix is available at higher resolutions. Some content is restricted to standard or high definition, with no 4K option available.
Don’t feel like you’re stuck with poor-quality content, or that you have to just put up with stuttering and constant buffering. If your Netflix playback quality isn’t what it should be, use these Netflix quality settings to correct the problem.
