Many Apple products introduced since 2018 support HDR, and you can find a full list of supported Macs on Apple’s website. You won’t just need Big Sur to get the full 4K HDR experience with Netflix on Safari, though - you may also need a more recent Mac with HDR support. OMG! Netflix on macOS Big Sur’s Safari browser just gave me 4K Stream with Dolby Vision on MacBook Pro! Earlier it was just 1080p with Dolby Vision. That means, in theory, you could watch Netflix in 4K on a Mac via Windows in a Boot Camp partition - but just loading up Safari, which is installed with macOS Big Sur, could be a far easier option once Big Sur is released (it’s scheduled to come out this fall). Previously, streaming 4K Netflix on a computer at all required you to be on Windows and using Microsoft’s Edge browser or the Netflix Windows 10 app. This may mark the first time that macOS users will be able to stream Netflix in 4K. Watching 4K Netflix video on a Mac seems like it’s about to get much easier, as the forthcoming macOS Big Sur includes a Safari update that reportedly lets you watch Netflix in 4K, along with Dolby Vision HDR, according to a tweet from Ishan Agarwal (via 9to5Mac).
