Get the highest quality every time

Netflix’s video quality is set to Auto by default and will adjust based on your connection.

It’s also designed to prevent you from gobbling up all your data on a smartphone too.

If this isn’t a concern for you and you want the absolute best quality every time, just go to settings menu, followed by Account.

Choose your profile and click Playback settings.

Tick High.

Find Netflix’s secret menu

Netflix has a secret menu tucked away that most people are unaware of.

It’s mainly meant for techy people but you can tweak buffering settings.

You can unlock it from a smart TV or console by firstly resetting your Netflix app.

Then, simply relaunch the app and using your controller or remote key in the following:

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up.
