Today, Netflix price information, content that varies depending on the plan, and the most expensive price, but I want to share what you need to check when it is played in lower resolution. On April 7th and 30th, 2021, the free trial service was stopped and the price increased as of November 18th, but let’s see which plan is better for those who are considering inserting ads in the recently halved stock price.

There are three categories: Basic, Standard, and Premium. For now, let’s ignore Basic, which only plays in the maximum HD resolution. Even smartphones that came out years ago have a much higher output resolution. If you can’t feel the 480p quality, go to Youtube right now, set the image quality to 480p, and play anything. Then you’ll understand why I’m telling you to ignore it.
You can choose between standard and premium depending on the number of concurrent users and whether you want to play video content on PC monitors and TVs in addition to mobile devices. Standard if you use it only on smartphones and tablets, and Premium if you plan to enjoy it in ultra-high definition on a large screen.
However, if the price of each Netflix plan is divided by the maximum number of concurrent users, the standard price is 6,750 won and the premium price is 4,250 won. Therefore, it is wise to choose the 17,000 won rate plan without questioning, of course, if several people pay the same amount rather than one person paying the entire amount. In this way, if you want to reduce the fixed costs incurred by using the OTT service every month, subscription sharing mediation platforms such as ‘Pickle Plus’, ‘Grey Tag’, and ‘4flix’ may be the answer.
Isn’t the picture quality so bad that it provides up to 4K HDR?
Previously, we looked at the differences in Netflix prices and differences according to the plan. Most of them, including myself, are using premium subscriptions, but sometimes I get a headache because of the picture quality. By default, Netflix quality is automatically adjusted according to the playback device and internet connection. This means that even Premium, which supports the maximum UHD resolution, can be played in the basic maximum resolution, HD depending on the situation.
However, due to errors, the image quality is often downgraded. Such problems can be minimized by fixing the image quality. Go to the Netlfix homepage. Select the profile icon on the right and go to [Account → Profile & Parental Controls → Playback Settings]. From there, change the setting from ‘Auto’ to ‘High Quality’.
However, this setting may lead to frequent disconnection if it does not correspond to a Wi-Fi & LAN connection environment or an unlimited plan without speed limit. If you want to enjoy your favorite dramas and movies in clear picture quality anytime, anywhere, regardless of internet access or speed, use the mobile app ‘Content Storage’ function. Anyone with a Netflix plan can use it, and in the app settings, go to the [Video quality for content storage] tab and change the setting to high-definition. And while connected to Wi-Fi, you can download the desired video and place it.
Netflix also provides mobile gaming services
So far, we’ve shared some tips on the differences between Netflix prices and picture quality. Although it is still an OTT service with the largest market share in Korea, the share price has recently fallen by more than 50% due to deterioration in profitability. I do not know when the Netflix plan will increase again, but if you use the subscription share service mentioned in this article, you will be able to enjoy a variety of videos that target your taste buds at an affordable price.
