For tech nerds, Widevine is owned by Google and has three levels of certification, so the highest level is L1 and it gives you whatever the max resolution the device supports, L2 is 720p and 元 is 580p maximum (and is the default for every device) and this is the same technology uses on Laptops.

Technically speaking what is happening here is that the iPad Pro 2020 in both sizes suppors Widevine L1 which does decryption completely in a Trusted Execution Environment, so Netflix allows HD and HDR content.

iPad or iPhone with Netflix will show you Dolby Vision content (unlike the MacOS stuff), but will only go to HD since the displays are not full HD.

On your iPad or iPhone, it depends on the application you are using: This is my go to, but although they claim they have HDR support at least on the MacBook pro XDR dispaly I don’t see it. This does support HDR and costs $5 so pretty nominal. Is an option but they charge annually for the player IINA is a cool-kid version of video playback.

You have to recode your conent to MP4 (if they are in MKV), but it is supposed to work There there are players for downloaded content: And it won’t even show Dolby Vision (even the the display can show it. Note that Netflix requires a full 4K display at 60 Hertz, so you cannot see this content even on your shiny new MacBook Pro 2021. However as an aside, if you want to stream to a television, you probably want to use the embedded Netflix player, they stream at higher resolution there (because they limit bandwidth on less copy protected PCs). With the Big Sur release, you can now use Dolby Vision and Atmos. Ok, so if you are lucky enough to have one of these devices that either have an integrated display (like a MacBook, iPhone or iPad) or that can use an external monitor, then you have to find websites and applications that can actually send HDR content (and ideally spatial audio content out). Which applications or players will show HDR content? iPhone 8 and later but you will just see regular SDR as they don’t have the fancy displays.These support HDR playback but you won’t see much difference as they don’t have HDR displays: iPad Pro 12.9 2nd generation and later, but only the 2020 or 5th generation has the so called LIquid Retina with mini LED.iPhone 11, 12, and 13 have Super Retina XDR so you definitely want a good player for these.Super Retina or Super Retina XDR so these are the models where you really want to get HDR out: Then there is a longer list of iPads and iPhone that support HDR, although really it is the mini-LED iPad Pro 2020 that is the gold standard here but only a few of these use OLED in what they call. The MacBook Pro 2021 has its own HDR internal display OK, there is a very list of Macs that work with HDR which give you incredible colors but they are basically limited on external displays: What devices support displays that can show off HDR 10-bit? There are very few websites or applications that do this today. It turns out that this is also complicated to get right. So the next step is the applications layer which takes videos that are streamed or on your disk and puts it on the screen. We’ve already talked about the first level which is getting the base MacOS to push out 120fps UHD HDR with full 4:4:4 chroma and Atmos multichannel audio (whew that’s a mouthful, but it basically means getting all the resolution and color out that is today possible, which at least for me today is 60 fps at 4:2:2). Well, all this technology is so new, it’s not surprising how hard it is to make it all work, but with HDR and multichannel audio to work properly is actually pretty hard.
