Has made its content available in 4K for some time now, but Mac users have been left out of that particular party. However, it's now possible to enjoy Ultra HD Netflix content on your Mac, even if you can't do so on macOS. I'll explain. Right now, the only way to watch Netflix in 4K on a desktop or laptop is through Windows. The good news is you can run Windows on your Mac through Bootcamp or virtual machine software like Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Bootcamp is available for free as a part of macOS and makes installing Windows on your Mac easy enough.
But before you start the journey towards loading Windows on your Mac for the express purpose of watching Netflix in 4K, you're going to need a few things. Netflix in 4K: What you'll need First, if you haven't already, you'll need to head over to and upgrade your account to be able to view 4K content. This costs $13.99 per month, up from the $10.99 of an HD account. With this upgrade, you'll also be able to watch Netflix on a total of four different screens at once. Second, you'll need a copy of Windows 10. Watching Netflix in 4K on a PC requires either Microsoft's Edge browser or the official Netflix app for Windows 10, so you won't be able to use an earlier version of Windows.
The third item is the biggest hurdle, probably because it's the most expensive if you don't already have it. You're going to need a Mac from 2017. This is because the 2017 Mac lineup all utilize Intel's Kaby Lake processors, and Netflix requires the 10-bit HEVC codec support specific to those chips in order to play in 4K on a PC. You'll also probably want some kind of 4K display if you're not using a Retina iMac (or even maybe if you are). There are a number of great options out there. Keep in mind that, depending on the display you choose, you might need an adapter such as Apple's USB-C to Digital AV Multiport adapter. How to set up your Mac for watching Netflix in 4K If you want a full, native Windows experience on your Mac, you're going to want to use Bootcamp.
This partitions your Mac's hard drive or solid state drive with a section on which you will install Windows 10. You can then elect to start up that partition when you turn on your Mac, rather than starting up the macOS partition. This lets your Mac function exactly like any other Windows computer. Of course, you can go the virtual machine route and install Parallels on your Mac, allowing you to run Windows 10 while you continue to run macOS.
This is a great option if you don't like the idea of having to boot up your Mac in a particular way just to switch between using macOS and Windows. Also, if you have a dual-monitor setup, you can run Windows in Parallels in full-screen mode on one monitor, then keep performing tasks in macOS on another. Once you've installed Windows 10 on your Mac one way or another, you'll be good to go if you just want to use Microsoft's Edge browser, which comes built-in with Windows 10. You'll just need to sign in to.
However, you'll need to head to the Microsoft Store if you're looking to pick up the for your 4K viewing. Questions If you have any more questions about watching Netflix in 4K on your Mac, let us know in the comments.
