    Probably the same as on a Linux desktop now, the browser sites work fine but you won’t get 4k or HDR.

      Worth it in my books. Might be my eyes going bad, but I can’t notice much difference beyond 720p

        Either your eyes are bad or the files you’ve watched. There’s an absolutely enormous difference between 720p and proper 4k with a decent bitrate. Also a decent display with good HDR can add a lot as well.

        With respect, if you cannot notice a difference between 720p and 4k on a 4k compatible screen, then you do indeed have something wrong with your eyes.

        It’s not just resolution and colorspace. The providers also drop the nitrate *bitrate significantly. Which, in my opinion, is way more noticeable and jarring.

          I was really confused for a moment over why monitors would use nitrate and how it could affect the experience. Then I realized you meant bitrate lol

            Man, I’ve really got to get better at proofing my comments before hitting submit, on mobile especially.
