How much is there 4k content currently? Arri Alexa which is quite common production camera shoots something like 2880x1620. Red has more pixels via heavier compression but even that stuff seems to be mastered 2k which is the common cinema format. Or maybe it is regional, but I don't think we have 4k cinemas anywhere here. I would hope they would spend the bandwith to get netflix stream closer to cinema datarates rather than try to compress more pixels through thin pipe.
