Problem with Xiaomi Mi Box 3 and Netflix 4K

by diegodc94

Hi all,

I bought one Xiaomi Mi Box 3 last Friday but I can't watch Netflix in 4K mode.

My MiBox has Android Oreo and I have settled screen resolution to 4k2k-30hz.

When I access Netflix, I can't see Ultra 4k HD icon, only HD icon. I really don't know why, cause I can see YouTube in 4K mode with this screen resolution config.

Of course, I have Netflix Ultra Premium plan and I can see Netflix in 4K resolution in other TVs but not with this Xiaomi Mi Box.

I tried to change resolution to similar but I still can't see Netflix in 4K.

Has anyone same problem as me?

Thanks so much!

Try using 4K@60Hz.

On the Nvidia Shield before Oreo update if you selected 4K @23.976Hz (or anything else other than 59.94Hz or 60Hz) it will only work in 1080p. It's a Netflix bug/issue/feature. I don't know if it's intentional or not.

Now on Oreo, when you open the Netflix app and your output is set to 23.976Hz it will automatically switch to 59.94Hz until you exit Netflix again.

What is your tv make, model and specs?

Maybe Netflix 4k is not supported in Mi Box. Download Chrome and and check if you can get 4k there.
