Hi my ROG 3 Friends,
I have a little Question.
I want to buy my first Netflix Subscription for my ROG 3 and it would be my first time.
I know I can also watch on other devices like my Computer, but if I see all 3 Subscription,
there is a Basis (480p) , a Standard (1080p) and a Premium (4k+HDR)
Rog 3 has a resolution of 1080p, so my Question is:
is the Premium Subscription unneccessary if I just wanna watch stuff on my Phone??
I know not everything is in 4k on Netflix, but would I for example still have HDR with the Premium Subscription ??
Or is it just wasted money, because like I said, the Phone just supports 1080p and the Standard Subscription would be enough.
Appreciate any anwser/experience & thanking in Advance 🙂

Just go for the cheapest price they usually upgrade you for the first month for free but you won't notice any difference,I don't

Rog 3 has an HDR10+ 1080p display so premium would be nice,but you won't see any 4k

Thank you Greekleader, unfortunately Netflix got more greedy, I knew a few days or a month ago ( don't know anymore the exactly time ) I could register my 1st subscription and Netflix would upgrade me as a new user for free to one higher subscription for a month, so taking the standard subscription would be great: 1080p + the HDR Feature from Premium to see and test it on the phone, but now even as a new customer you won't get any higher subscription for the first time for free. And choosing premium only for HDR is a little bit too expensive and not worth for me. Still thanks for helping 🙂

That's strange,I have been upgraded the last 3 times. I will only keep Netflix for a month or two then let the subscription lapse and use something else like Hulu or HBO but when I renew it they have been upgrading me. What Netflix country do you use ? I use USA via a VPN or smart DNS but I don't think that has anything to do with it
