Netflix 1080p: When Will it Come to CE Devices?
By Julie Jacobson
Netflix launched 1080p streaming last year, but when will LG, TiVo, Samsung, Netgear and other networked CE vendors finally support it? We have the timelines.

Netflix launched 1080p streaming in 2010, but we've barely seen it in smart TVs, networked Blu-ray players and other common CE devices from top brands such as Samsung, LG and Tivo.

Netflix 1080p was supported exclusively by the Playstation 3 when it launched last year, and since then has trickled out to media players from Roku and Western Digital. Netflix only this summer released a software developers kit for everyone else, and those everyone elses are finally incorporating the technology into their new and legacy devices (via firmware upgrade).




That's good news for Netflix Watch Instantly lovers, but might be confusing as well.

The toughest part for the consumer is distinguishing the differences between all of the Netflix enabled TVs, Blu-ray players and streaming boxes at retail stores. All of them have the same Netflix logo on them. So, you can't tell which Netflix boxes support 1080P, surround sound and subtitles.
