Re: Netflix Streaming Resolution
They may allow it Barn but I don't think any of the media they offer is in 1080p. All their HD is 720p.
Now it may be the device, I use a HD Roku. Amazon movies in HD do come across at 1080p but I have never seen a NF movie at that yet.
Do you know of titles that are 1080p?

Re: Netflix Streaming Resolution
my panasonic sucks at streaming netflix, and does the whole black out thing each time it changes resolution.
thats why i stick to my ps3 when streaming. i can also see the resolution (well if its in sd or hd or high sd etc), via the select button.
anyways, just my 2 cents.
my roku is gathering dust in the bedroom. i havent had time to fix it yet.

Re: Netflix Streaming Resolution
Again. Not all Netflix movies are in 1080p, in fact most are not. Here is a list of players and the resolution that Netflx will support on those devices.

But none of this matters much. The resolution is only one relatively small part of the picture quality puzzle. The encoders, decoders, quality of the encoding/deciding itself, the available bandwidth, all factor much more than simple resolution. Displaying a poor source at 1080p will still be a poor picture.
Not saying Netflix is a poor source, just that assuming that because it's 1080p that it must be better is a rookie mistake.

Re: Netflix Streaming Resolution
i was simply just stating that my ps3 can 'show' you the kind of resolution you are receiving, unlike my panny player, and not saying it was in 1080p. as you mentioned, a lot of variables can determine the end result - bandwidth, player, heck even provider.

Re: Netflix Streaming Resolution
And no Amazon Prime are not 1080p but some Amazon pay per view HD movies are (Suckerpunch is one that comes to mind) per my post earlier in this thread.
If you check the chart the Roku 2 XD supports 1080p and that is the one I have.Barney said:
