I wouldn't call limiting resolution to 720p in the browser "attractive". Are you aware of this limit?

In Chrome and Firefox, you can't watch Netflix above 720p. It's why I must use IE with Silverlight to watch Netflix at full HD on Windows 7.

Well, if youtube clips uploaded at 1080p couldn't be watched at 1080p, people would complain. When services advertise "hd video" and it doesn't actually work in HD... I'm sure you can figure it out. But then maybe you can't, given your remark.

I thought the limit/split was 1080p in browser, 4k only through certain channels?

No, there's a page on Netflix listing the resolution limits per browser, I checked before I posted.
