At first Netflix was offering HD streams at 3.6mbps but I believe most now are at 2.6 and SD streams report at 1.5mbps. All in all the HD content is pretty good. Certainly not BD quality but decent. Somewhere between DVD and BD.

The biggest thing is how Netflix encodes the movie/show. Some look great (I recommend the Star Trek series and The Thing) while others are just adequate.]]>Dec 21st 2008 11:10AM
