Netflix stream-quality controversy: Difference between revisions

4. Contradictory requirements / misleading documentation: Maybe they updated the page, because now it says 11.0 for UHD and 10.15 for Full HD, which makes perfect sense. Maybe it was a misunderstanding, because I don't see anywhere on the links the text "10.11", only "11.0". I don't have a Mac or Netflix, I just checked the links (link 11 and link 13).

* '''Unintelligible statements''': Some parts of Netflix’s Help Center articles are worded in a very strange, unintelligible manner, which seem more like a stream of consciousness, rather than an official documentation. e.g., ''Ultra HD is available only on Mac computers macOS 11.0 or later installed that meet these Ultra HD requirements. Mac computers with macOS 10.15 installed will play in up to Full HD (1080p).'' Moreover, these 2 sentences contradict each other. The former implies that 4K playback is supported on devices running macOS 10.11 and up (that certainly contains macOS 10.15), the latter that macOS 10.15 does NOT support 4K playback, only Full HD.<ref name=":2" />
