This would be horrible for people who enjoy sideloading APKs.

    The main problem is most streaming services will only allow 1080p in browser, some even only allowing 1080p in Edge and will downgrade the resolution in other browsers. You basically have to use a smart TV app to get 4k… So you’re basically down to physical media or sailing the high seas if you want to be able to take full advantage of your TV.

      I supoose that is a drawback if you want to view content in 4k. 1080p still being the standard is good enough for me but i do see your point.

      Netflix is 720p if running completely without widewine AFAIK. Netflix 4k needs a special hardware certification
