Where To Stream 4K Movies And TV Shows

Prices on 4K TVs have come down dramatically over the past few months and there's more ultra high-definition (UHD) content to stream than ever. In light of new consoles that support 4K streaming, we've rounded up all the popular 4K streaming services and organized them alphabetically in the following gallery.

What you'll Need

In addition to needing a 4K TV and a 4K streaming device like the Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, or Nvidia Shield, you'll want a good internet connection. We recommend one that's rated at least 25 megabits per second.

Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime costs $99 a year or $11 a month and comes with Amazon Prime Video, which provides access to several 4K movies and original TV shows such as Man in the High Castle, The Tick, and The Grand Tour.

If you're not interested in paying for the faster delivery service and simply want the streaming capabilities, you can pay $9 per month just for Amazon Prime Video.

FandangoNOW

FandangoNOW allows users to rent or purchase from a selection of over 200 UHD movies. Rental prices start at $6 and popular movies include Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, The Fate of the Furious, and more. You can check out the complete list of 4K films here.

Hulu

Hulu costs $12 a month for its premium no-commercial subscription. The streaming service offers the entire James Bond collection in 4K along with many of its own shows, which include The Handmaid's Tale, Shut Eye, Chance, and more.

iTunes

Apple's iTunes allows you to stream a plethora of 4K movies including Wonder Woman, Baby Driver, Alien: Covenant, and more. It also doesn't charge extra for UHD content. While iTunes allows you to download standard HD videos, one caveat here is that you can only stream 4K movies, and can't download them. Apple also recommends a minimum internet speed of 25 megabits per second.

Netflix

Netflix supports 4K streaming, but you need the premium tier, which costs $14 per month. The company shoots many of its own shows natively in 4K, including popular shows like Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things, and Daredevil.

Netflix recommends an internet speed capable of 25 megabits per second or higher, or else the feed will dip below 4K.

UltraFlix

UltraFlix is an app that focuses on delivering UHD content. The service has over 600 hours of 4K videos, 100 of which is free. Rentals range between $2 and $10, and are generally based on how recent the movie is. UltraFlix requires an internet connection that's capable of at least six megabits per seconds, but recommends 25 megabits.

Vudu

Vudu is an on-demand service that lets you rent and buy movies that support 4K HDR, such as Wonder Woman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more. You can check out the complete list here. Movie rentals start at $4 and the company recommends a minimum 11 Mbps internet connection.

YouTube

YouTube offers a plethora of 4K content. In addition to the UHD videos that users personally upload, the streaming service allows you to rent or buy popular 4K movies. To see if the movie you're interested in streaming is UHD-compatible, look to see if it features a 4K tag under its description.
