How to change video quality on Netflix

In this article, I will show you how to change video quality on Netflix easily on your Netflix mobile app on iPhone, iPad or Android. 

First of all, you need to make sure if your plan supports HD.

• If you have opted for 1 screen SD plan, then Netflix does not allow the option to change the video quality
• If you have opted for 2 screens and 4 screens at a time Netflix plans, then only Netflix provides an option to change video quality to HD or Ultra HD
  

Their two reasons for the poor video quality on Netflix which are 

1. Poor internet speed
2. Playback settings not defined 

By default, Netflix sets the playback quality to auto to get the best-uninterrupted video viewing experience based on the internet speed. Netflix has three other option beside auto playback quality 

1. Low: This Netflix quality setting provides basic video quality and consumes only 0.3 GB data per hour of usage
2. Medium: This Netflix quality setting provides standard video quality (SD) and consumes 0.7 GB data per hour of usage
3. High: This Netflix quality setting provides the best video quality (HD) and consumes 3 GB data per hour of usage and 7 GB data per hour for Ultra HD

So, depending on what video quality you want you to have to pick the right option in Netflix playback Settings. The higher the option you choose, the better video quality you will get.
