There are currently no live TV networks broadcasting in 4K (aside from Foxtel) in Australia. Stan and Netflix offer 4K viewing, but only on their premium plans. Prime Video includes 4K streaming in its base plan, as does Disney Plus and Apple TV+. Without a 4K option, streams are limited to the maximum resolution of 1080p HD.
Binge is the latest streamer to offer 4K options on its streaming service.
