One of the biggest surprises of the Disney Plus launch is that it features the first 4K or UHD variants of the original Star Wars trilogy, supported by HDR. Since it's not available in the traditional format, to broadcast It's already a great way to see Star Wars in 4K.
Of course, it's not the only thing you get in 4K quality within a streaming platform. From Star Wars to Pstrong and even more powerful Marvel, there's plenty of UHD and HDR content for Disney +. But what do I need to be able to see it?
How much does it cost and when will Disney + be available in Spain?

How to get Ultra HD and HDR content on Disney +
Fortunately, this section is very straightforward. Just scroll to the Disney + homepage and you should see a section called & # 39; Ultra HD & HDR & # 39 ;, which includes content used by the service in high quality.
If you click on a particular show or movie, you will also see that it supports 4K, HDR, or surround sound, below the play but ton, and measurement and viewing time (for compatible devices only).
One thing you can't do right now (as soon as writing this article) is to search specifically for 4K, UHD, or HDR – the search bar only sees titles, gears, characters and types, not formats or quality levels.
What do I need to see in 4K
Even if you get 4K content, you won't be able to watch it, as there are certain technical hurdles to overcome. First, you must have at least 25 Mbps Internet connection, otherwise your bandwidth will not be able to maintain the required transmission rate.
You can always test the speed provided by your operator with tools such as speed.net to find out your current connection speed if you are unsure. This may vary depending on network coverage.
Although it may seem pretty obvious, you'll also need a screen that supports 4K or HDR to take advantage of any of them, so you probably won't see the option of watching 4K on your Smart TV, laptop or mobile unless you prefer the 4K model.
There are additional restrictions. If you're looking at content from the video game console, you'll need a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X to get 4K – previous generations of any console don't support UHD.
If you see an app for to broadcast with a media decoder or streaming service, you should also make sure you have a compatible 4K model, most often HD quality because they are cheap.
Finally, make sure that your HDMI cables (when streaming from a TV-connected device, or display via HDMI) support high bandwidth content, otherwise they may compromise quality without being aware.
All of the above assumptions are optimized and you can see the UHD or HDR option on the content page, Disney + will automatically transfer the highest quality available, so there is no need to search for a 4K reference.
