>watching netflix in your fucking browser

...

Lol, what?

If you gonna watch shit on your computer, just pirate it.

Netflix is eclusively for watching stuff AWAY from computer.

where the fuck else would you watch it

try forcing it with that hidden menu

your television

I haven't owned a TV since 2006

well it's not my fault you're a faggot

oh my god i am so mad

Fantastic, you want a medal?

Normal people watch Netflix on TV

...

Outside of US nobody owns TV nowadays m8.

it's 1080p if you use a netflix app instead of watching in browser

that's pretty fucking retarded though

>edge
anything microsoft is shit
I hate them as much as I hate comcast

>normal people
Where do you think you are, mister norman

you fags ever heard of tv licence?

>app
REEEEEEEEEEE
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DOWNLOAD A SEPARATE THING TO USE A FUCKING WEB SERVICE

I've got a driver's license and own a car. You can't get a tv license and own a television?

I agree user.

here is something that goes a little more in depth to why

>I don't know, Netflix does not provide the information but from what I read it appears to be based on the unfinished state of HTML video implemented by the browsers. But, there is no confirmation of that.

>"HTML5 hasn't had its DRM standardised yet and until it is the browsers looking to abide by standards won't get 1080p. It's only IE 11 on Win8 [and now Win10 and also Edge - ed.] which takes MS standard approach of going their own way and not following standards which has a DRM that's been fully accepted by the Movie/TV industry "
>PS: goddamn DRM ruining it for everyone

This sounds like a limitation of the browser rather than something imposed by Netflix.

you dont have to

on my phone I do
it doesn't work in the browser

>2017
>having a literal, physical TV box

For what purpose?

To watch things, for instance Netflix.

it's not, see it has to do with digital rights management
other streaming services like Youtube/etc can easily play 1080p in Chrome/Firefox, this is a Netflix specific issue

im american i want everything big. my tv is bigger then the screen at the movie theater. im better and richer then you.

>netflix is so afraid that people will want to steal their 'content' that they can't even implement proper playback in a browser
I'm glad I never got baited into giving them money

That sounds like more of a hassle, but maybe I just don't get it.

How is it a hassle? Turn it on and look at it.

That's not my name, Andrew

Also
>check all boxes with stop sign
>literally no boxes with stop sign

fucking ree. I fuckign hate this captcha. goddamn jew moot.

>have to bother with slow as fuck smart tv meme or have to go find my phone and use the chromecast
>have to wait a extra 5 seconds for no reason for it to load, even though on every other computer I have things load instantly
televisions are useless

>televisions are useless
No they aren't, they have a use: To watch things, such as Netflix.

I literally just pointed out why televisions are useless

And I just pointed out that they have a use.

Having redundant devices suited only for a singular task just seems inconvenient to me.

theres a skip button fag.

It's very convenient, if one stops working you can use another in the interim.

why would you bother with the extra cost and hassle of getting a TV when you can just use my existing computers for that

Have you tried not being poor?

>you can just use my existing computers
It would be a bigger hassle to find you an acquire your computer, I can be at a store that sells televisions in less than 10 minutes. You could be anywhere on Earth.

enjoy your tiny screen

so youre poor.

i hope you have the latest intel CPU with hardware DRM for 4k netflix and not available on all browsers

I could afford a big ass TV if I wanted one, I'd use it so little I might have well just bought a 60" paperweight
not a issue when you're less than 2 feet from most monitors

so you finally con a girl to come down to your moms basement and what huddle around your crt monitor to watch a movie in 720 cause you wont download the netflix app and hate ms edge?

LOL. He's poor

Subpar banter la, behave

>girl
why
>moms basement
nice meme
>watch a movie in 720 cause you wont download the netflix app and hate ms edge?
microsoft is a terrible company, I can't condone using any of their products
>implying

same. i ditched my tv when it broke down in 2011. only watch kinos on my laptop

haha hows the matrix
would you get robot legs if you could

>implying
No, he's stating it directly.

you talk like a fag
we're done here

sore spot huh champ?

blame publishers

MS implements DRM and the Publishers won't allow higher res streaming without the DRM.

>people still use netflix
>people still use a microsoft web browser
lmao

I've to admit I did not know this BUT I have to admit EDGE is my netflix browser. I don't use Edge for anything else. I am a FF fan boy and I also tend to use Chrome for certain things (I have two YouTube accounts for example and I am too lazy to log and out so I use Chrome and FF). But yeh funny to see that I am doing it right.

>Normal people watch Netflix on TV

Yeh but HOW, you faggot?
I have my TV hooked up to my PC so of course I watch Netflix on my TV but with the help of my PC so of course I want my program to be 1080p.

>Yeh but HOW, you faggot?
Roku, Wii, Firestick, Smart TVs

then use the app. everyone else just uses a smart tv.

>Roku,
literally who
>Wii,
>limiting yourself to 1080i maximum
>Firestick,
amazon botnet
>Smart TVs
giant useless android tablet

at least 10 years ago if I bought a TV I would know it's not going to spy on me

>these things don't exist
>they do
>but i don't like them!!
And?

who the fuck do you think is gonna spy on you?

>this fucking normie goygle slave

kek

wired.com/2017/02/smart-tv-spying-vizio-settlement/
all I want is a fucking 60" display with hdmi inputs
how fucking hard is that

>who is going to spy on you
>people have been spied on

as if the same thing isnt happening on your computer

>there are people on Sup Forums right now who own a TV
Fucking disgusting.

The closest thing I have is an old ex-medical grade CRT for 480i kinography. But it doesn't have a fucking aerial port on it, it's for LD and DVD.

The idea of needing a "big" screen is absurd. Just sit closer. A 20" monitor is bigger than a 60" screen at the right distances, and they both have the same resolution anyway.

I run linux my dude
no spies here

did you actually read that scare tactics article or just the title?

but you use netflix and other web based services.

You're allowed to use more than one bowser. Just use Edge exclusively for Netflix.

it has the capability built in
I don't care if you can disconnect it
aside from online banking I don't use any online services
if I want to use youtube I just use the RSS feature and pull the videos using youtube-dl
>voluntarily installing a shitty microsoft browser

You have no fucking idea what the fuck you are talking about, Andrew. Don't you ever reply to me or my wife's son one more time.

>>there are people on Sup Forums right now who own a TV
>Fucking disgusting.

>The closest thing I have is an old ex-medical grade CRT

that's the most hipster thing i've read this month

I just pirate every little thing 1080p and up and it sits on my server

I already unsubbed from Netflix.

I watched everything it had to offer.

Is there an UWP app? Does that let you 1080p? If there is it might help with your autistic fear of Edge.

Sue me, I like retro games. It's nice to own a piece of hardware that was tens of thousands of dollars new, and I picked it up for 50.

>he doesn't own a CRT
mine just sits on a shelf waiting for me to bother with emulators again
I haven't seen many displays that can do what CRT's can
>true black levels
>can run at resolutions besides native and not look like ass
>muh scanlines

I have a old dell laptop that has a setting in the BIOS to run resolutions lower than native at 1:1 instead of upscaling it

My tv is 6 years old and is a smart tv so i can use the netflix app there.

But my home theater is only like 2 years old so it also has apps.

Besides that I could watch on xb360, xbone or roku. Fucking plebs.

Kind of hard to watch movies with your gf on a monitor

I commend you and the others who are doing such backflips to avoid admitting why some people own tvs.

I played some ps3 in bed last night for an hour or so on my 65" samsung tv. Its a very nice experience each time i do this and if you sincerely cannot comprehend the uses for tv then thats okay, i accept that and i accept you.

I mean irl im sure id avoid you as you sound like an insufferable douche but online it is okay.

Now go ahead and carefully analyze my post and meticulously tear it apart to feel better about your pathetic self/life. I shall be somewhere else, doing something that matters because i am done pooing now.

The windows app for it. It does 1080p and 5.1 sound, neither of which the regular browser versions do

i watch on my windows 10 pc on my monitor loser

what is the resolution on ps3?

You mean my television that I hook up to my computer which uses a web browser, you dumb cuck?

>Netflix is eclusively for watching stuff AWAY from computer.
Actually it's for watching things instantly instead of hunting a good torrent and waiting it to download. Also you have to be connected to a VPN while it downloads which is an added hassle since Sup Forums will have your VPN banned and you can't game online.

>all these poorfags itt unironically defending shitflix

lmao

Because some of us watch TV with other people sometimes.

>Microsoft Edge™

Noice subtle shill thread for that browser no one wanted or uses.

also why the fuck would you pay for streams

>Owning a tv
>ever

Why?

No, seriously, why?

A bigger screen, better colors, you must be deep in the basement to genuinely ask why would anyone watch stuff on a tv

As soon as a girl notices you have a self-built computer hooked up your 28 inch 1080p Tesco tv her pussy dries up faster than a sponge. You geeks are hopeless desu

>invite girl over for netflix and chilling
>she gets here, we small talk and stuff
>I'm hooking my touch screen laptop up to my tv for netflix
>she suddenly had to go
>realize I have a smart tv and just had to click the netflix button

why are girls such cunts

Netflix lets you download most of their shows and movies. It's not worry over piracy.

>implying VPN protects you

>posts on the Sup Forums board
>doesn't own a TV

>Microsoft Edge

what's that

>tfw I bought a 55 in vizio 4k smart tv for $399 on black friday
