I set the resolution to 2160p 60hz as it says in the display settings since it comes out of the box at 720p for some reason. While browsing Netflix it seems to be in a lower resolution than 4k. Is there a fix?

people like ryaniskira are quick to blame the Mi Box but honestly it could be anything that is causing the low resolution.
netflix has a test video for resolution. I would suggest you use it to make sure your eyes are not deceiving you and you're really are getting 4k. Search for "test patterns".
What looks lower than 4K - the Netflix user interface ?
Or the Netflix streamed 4K content ?
I doubt the Netflix user interface is coded for 4K - so it is being upscaled from 1080p > 4K by Mi Box picture upscaling hardware and giving a blurry look.
The Shield has the same picture upscaling issues and a lot of users complain.

Set the Android display output to 1080p and then the Netflix 1080p user interface will be upscaled by superior picture upscaling hardware in your 4K TV.
I bet if you used the Netflix App on your actual 4K TV the Netflix user interface is already nice and sharp.
The Apple TV 4K has better picture upscaling hardware as well vs ALL the external Android TV media players.
From all the devices I tested only the AppleTV 4K netflix's interface is looking 4k.
Roku, Android TV it looks blurry
Return it and buy a Chromecast Ultra, or if you can get an Nvidia Shield I think they're $139 right now. I know this sub has a hard-on for the MiBox (the MiBox S is just the MiBox with an updated remote) but it's honestly a garbage device.
The Netflix UI looks blurry on most TV platforms, once you get to actually watching movies (they play at the proper resolution) you won't see the UI anymore and you won't be bothered by the fact that the Netflix UI is low resolution.
