Of course, you'll also need a Premium subscription, a 4k monitor and internet faster than 25 Mbit/s. Then your display and graphics card need to support HDCP 2.2 - which is included in HDMI and display port 1.3 or higher. and then you need a GPU with at least 3 GB VRAM. Netflix can then be viewed in 4k resolution in the Edge browser or the Netflix app.
