Can you rent or buy movies in UHD on the Nvidia Shield?
Can you rent or buy movies in UHD on the Nvidia Shield?
My brother got an OLED LG 65 inch t.v. that has WebOS 2.0 instead of 3.0. So he can watch 4K and HDR on Amazon and Netflix but not on the Google Play Movies app. Whereas on my Sony Bravia I can rent UHD movies on Google Play Movies.
So I recommend he get the Nvidia Shield based on their website saying you could get 4K Google Play Movies:
So he bought the Shield
But when he tries the Google Play Movies app on the Shield it only shows HD
But if he looks on His phone it does have UHD as an option
So can you natively rent/buy UHD movies from Google Play Movies on the Shield?
Yes
The 5.2 Update from a month ago added support for Google Play Movies in 4K.
Play Movies can also be accessed through YouTube via your Purchases section.
He said it started working yesterday, I suspect he wasn't on the latest update
He needs to update his shield to the latest version. You can definitely rent and watch UHD
