Woohoo, 09 Jul 2022How about Netflix first get their act around proper HDR sup... moreHDR would be great, but I would settle for Netflix getting rid of their compression artifacts.

I have 400Mbps real world performance to their local data center according to fast.com. So why am I seeing compression artifacts on a Galaxy S9+? Google TV doesn't have compression artifacts.

    Woohoo, 09 Jul 2022How about Netflix first get their act around proper HDR sup... moreThey are intentionally not giving support because there server will have to decode in HDR insted of regular 1080p SDR & only small no of people want HDR on there phone. I have Motorola Edge 20 pro it have one of best display OLED , 100% DCI-P3 with 10bit colour .Due to which I have worse experience of Netflix. When I see dark movie or series colour bending is clearly visible around 40% of dark area is in box shape.

        How about Netflix first get their act around proper HDR support on phones!? So many phones have WV L1 as well as HDR supporting screens (OLEDs and even some LCDs), yet Netflix doesn't want to give HDR in its app!

            Why would I need Spatial Audio if I am getting Dolby Atmos? Anyone care to explain?

              I hate that software echo-like systems, It work maybe for 1% of the time. All it do is just distort audio.

                It is important to use headphones rather than earphones as the reflections inside the tiny enclosures of earphones degrade the spatial quality.

In my honest opinion, I've used it on several platforms (including Apple) and it's just marketing rubbish from Sennheiser and whomever. You either get proper multichannel headphones/speakers to experience spatial audio, or you listen to regular audio on regular headphones or two speakers as that seems to be the best choice overall.

                      What kind of gimmick is this?

                      Just put on a pair of headphones and you get the cleanest surround sound possible.

                        Feature available on xperia since early 2021.
                        Mark 3 can use from speakers, unlike mark 2 that needs headphones.

                                  Cool. I look forward to never watching Netflix.

This feature is only for those with stereo speakers listening to the stereo track.

                                      it would be so cool if it works with usb headphones that are 7.1 enabled.
