Free HGO Go I got from T-Mobile got switched to HBO Max. I'm watching Godzilla vs. Kong on it and I'm not sure if I even want to, because it just doesn't look good. It says it's 4k but I feel like even a 4k YT video looks better.

@matrix resolution doesn’t mean much. Look at the bitrate. Many streaming services overcompress video to fit higher resolution into lower bandwidth. If your “4k” is under 12megabits/s, it’s probably not worth watching.

@newt I know. Everywhere a higher resolution means higher bitrate.
So it seems that HBO Max uses h264 and 4k is between 7-10Mbps.
It's also possible it just refuses to serve me the 4k stream because I have a 1080p display.
