You can test the video resolution you're getting from Netflix with this video: http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70136810

The resolution and bitrate is burned in for each quality level they stream. I'm topping out at 3000kbps/720p in Chrome. I don't have a Windows machine to test on, though.



This is neat. How did you find out about this video?


It's been around for a while. They actually have a whole slew of them, but most don't have burned-in bitrate info: https://www.reddit.com/r/NetflixBestOf/comments/23m338/examp...


Cool. Thanks for the link!
