Back in 2020 I couldn't stream from Amazon at a higher res than 720p from linux (tried every browser), as soon as I dual booted to Windows the quality improved a lot.

Could it be that you are using Plex, Kodi or similar that might allows you to stream at a good quality?

I'm guessing that (like myself) he probably just isn't that picky about it. The only IQ issues that I see that frequently bothers me is washed out dithering in dark scenes or low quality due to connection hiccups. I don't think UHD would improve either of those.

Correct, see my reply to myself upthread.
