Personally, I was pretty pissed off when Netflix hiked the price last year, in the tail end of 2017, when it kicked prices up from $10 to $11 bucks for the medium tier plan, and the premium plan went from $12 to $14. Then again, I'm pissed anytime I have to pay more for the same thing.
As reported first by Italian tech blog TuttoAndroid.net, it looks like now Netflix will be handing out more options with an Ultra model that offers "Ultra HD stream or content in HDRformat."
Personally, I do not care about this.
I think that people have too many options on things already. Have you ever gone to the grocery store? Maybe you haven't, maybe you've sitting at home, trying to see which grocery delivery service you'd like to take advantage of. There's about 40 of those as well, but what I'm talking about is more like the peanut butter section. Smooth, extra smooth, chunky, extra chunky, MEGA CHUNKY, with honey, with jam, original, organic, regular... I mean, just put some on some bread and friggin hand it to me, for god's sake.
But, we do love our choices, so now you've got an option for the Ultra plan, which is going to cost $16.99, but wait, there's more! Two versions of being tested; one with four Ultra HD streams, with the other, preexisting $13.99 Premium plan dropping from four to two UHD streams, and the second features both Premium and Ultra customers getting access to four Ultra HD streams but only Ultra customers would have access to high dynamic range (HDR) content.
As far as I can tell, all that jargon basically means that the colors look better and there is higher contrast. Weeeeeee.
What do you think? Is this a good thing? Is this just another way to get boned out of more money for something we don't need? Does anyone even have the TV to handle this? Lemme know what you think the comments.
