Where we were discussing where do we get the info about the tech in this thead:

The video that you embedded only applies to Apple 4K TV and their bitrates are the best among streaming, approaching 30 Mbps, but that is still a far cry from that of a 4K disc. Vincent Teoh does point out a number of instances where compression artifacts are visible even with Apple 4K TV.

The bitrates for Netflix and Vudu still stand at 16 and 15 Mbps respectively; these are not minimums- this is as good as it gets with either of them. Remember, Netflix still only recommends a 25 Mbps internet connection for their 4K content and Vudu still recommends just 11 Mbps- these recommendations have not changed in years.

"The max I could ever get Netflix to pull down was 16000 kbps."

^The article is from Jan. 2018, but I have found nothing to suggest that anything has changed since then. Netflix's, and Vudu's, streaming recommendations were the same then as they are right now, which also suggests that nothing has changed.
