Sorry, wasn't meant as a stab at you Brett.
Manufacturers just need to stop using terms like HD and 4K where they're not relevant or in some cases even true.
If we need to get really technical, chances are that none of these 4K displays are actually 4K at all.

Doesn't look like it to me. Might be ISP dependent, like their UltraHD format. Wouldn't know where they're getting their content from either, as studios haven't started releasing anything yet, to my knowledge.
The Netflix first party shows are a different kettle of fish.
I'm guessing he is talking about this

So the answer is no, then.
Also no mention of other content than House of Cards season 2.

Netflix are already streaming 4K content aren't they? And are doing House of Cards this year in 4K? Also youTube are streaming stuff in 4K already and Sony have signed a deal to stream films in 4K.

I wish I could abandon physical media. I've only just converted to BluRay, loving the quality on the discs, would be nice to stream but with an internet connection that maxes out at 300kb/s I don't think BluRay quality streams are on the horizon for me in the next few years

If you are enjoying BluRays then I would not be jumping to streaming even with a good connection. I think Netflix average out a 3.2Mbit ~ 4GB per movie, no where near the 20+ you will be getting off a BluRay.
Whether you can notice the different is a different argumement.
I wonder what bitrate the Netflix 4K demo was done at
EDIT: 15.6 Mbps so similar to the 1080p stuff given resolution change.
