Getting the best from Netflix at home
Netflix offers most of its recent series in 4K with Dolby Vision, sometimes with surround sound Dolby Atmos. But everything has to line up:
- The plan : in Belgium, 4K, HDR and spatial audio are reserved for the Premium (€21.99 a month, four screens). Standard (€16.99) is capped at Full HD. All prices are in our guide to streaming platforms in Belgium.
- The app : use the app built into your TV or a recent streaming box. Our page Smart TVs and Belgian apps explains it all.
- Picture mode : when the Dolby Vision logo appears, choose 'Dolby Vision Dark' (or 'Cinema') in the evening and 'Dolby Vision Bright' during the day. More details on HDR and Dolby Vision.
- Airflow : Netflix recommends around 15 Mbps for 4K. If the picture becomes blurry, connect the TV with an Ethernet cable rather than Wi-Fi.
For Black Doves, many scenes take place at night, under London rain. Switch off the lights, turn off the TV's automatic brightness sensor and motion smoothing: you'll finally see what lurks in the shadows. And if the dialogue is hard to follow, turn on the 'clear voice' mode on your TV or soundbar, see our sound guide.
Frequently asked questions
Are the dates the same in Belgium as in the United States?
For series produced by Netflix (the 'Netflix Originals'), release is generally worldwide and simultaneous, so it is the same day in Belgium. Netflix publishes its official Belgian schedule at the end of the previous month: we will update this page if a date changes.
Which Netflix plan do you need for 4K?
In Belgium, only the Premium plan (€21.99 a month) gives access to 4K, HDR (including Dolby Vision) and spatial audio, on four screens at the same time. The Standard plan is capped at Full HD.
Do all the episodes come out at once?
On Netflix, that is the most common case for the series in this selection: the whole season goes online on release day. A few series come out in several parts: check the series page in the app.
