On my Linux desktops, laptops, and HTPC, Netflix refuses to give me anything better than 720p by design (DRM not good enough to be trusted with better quality). Netflix is 'good enough' for some light viewing, but any quality film I'll (hypothetically) download from a source that doesn't bother with DRM. With a fibreglass connection at home this takes a couple of minutes.

Use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/force-1080p-n... and everything is back to normal :) But still you won't get 4k, for that you need torrents.
