Best Way to Stream 4K HDR Content on Samsung S95D OLED TV?

[simplegarv]

Hey Technofino Community!

I recently bought a 65" Samsung S95D 4K OLED TV, and I’m looking for the best (and cheapest) way to watch all the major OTT platforms in 4K, SDR, or HDR wherever possible. What are the best apps or methods to access popular services like Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, etc.?

I’m also considering getting an Apple TV in the future—do you think it’s worth it for streaming in top quality, or are there better alternatives? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Since you already have a high-end OLED TV, you might be aware of the following:

1. Content Quality Matters

• To fully utilize a 4K TV, the content itself must be encoded in 4K. If the content is in lower resolution, the TV cannot magically enhance it to true 4K quality.

2. Streaming Services & Subscription Plans

• Not all streaming services provide 4K quality by default. Some require higher-tier subscriptions.

Examples:

• Netflix requires a ₹600 plan for 4K content.
• Disney+ Hotstar offers 4K only with the ₹1,499 plan, while the ₹899 plan is limited to 1080p.

Exceptions:

• Some services, like JioCinema (Now JioHotstar), use "Auto" quality settings, meaning they stream at their discretion, regardless of your TV's capabilities or subscription plan.

3. Internet Speed Requirements

• A stable, high-speed broadband connection is necessary for seamless 4K streaming.

4. Dolby Vision & HDR Formats

• The same rules applies
  • The ability to watch in these formats depends on:
  • Whether the content is originally encoded in that format.
  • Your subscription plan.
  • Your TV’s compatibility.

---

- You can try OTTPlay for a month or two. It bundles multiple OTT subscriptions (including Netflix) into one package.
- If you’re looking for a single platform that ensures 4K content access, this might be worth exploring.
- Then purchase that service directly if it satisfies ur requirment.
