If you connect a PS3 to a 1080p60 display, Netflix will honor that. Working with Android APP developers, I can attest to the extent at which those poor souls have to test against to tweak for about 50% of the devices out there, even that is exhaustive. ![]() Every android device type is identifiable to the store. Netflix will be embarrassed and outraged! So, Google Play is also upholding that deal: Certified devices get 1080p60+, the rest, don't. Nobody wants the disappointment of having a bottom-end-smartphone with a HD1080 display grind Netflix away at 7fps. Half of the TV-boxes and bottom-range smartphones, even if the are "1080" can barely generate for 30% of the video's duration. ![]() It all revolves around the quality of their service-offering. Certified devices (Nvidia Shield, PS3, PS4, etc), get vetted through Netflix's Certification process and receive certifications to do 1080p and higher. 1080P relies on the DEVICE being of proper capability to provide video playback to a certain standard that they've set. So, no worries from Netflix, in terms of quality, framerate and playback. Most low-end phones and really crappy TV-boxes actually don't even output above 720p. This is down to the fact that they want the best experience possible on their apps.
