This article explains how to locate and watch 4K video content on Disney Plus. What You Need to Watch Disney Plus in 4K
You can't just get 4K or HDR quality video streaming with any old streaming box or TV. To watch Disney Plus in 4K and other high-quality formats, you need modern devices that offer specific features and compatibility. To get 4K content from Disney Plus, you need: 4K TV: TVs designed for 4K are very specific; they usually advertise 4K Ultra HD resolution or has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels or higher. 4K Streaming Device: Not all streaming devices support 4K resolutions. For instance, the 4th Generation Apple TV doesn't, but its successor—the Apple TV 4K—does (not surprising, given the name). Fast Internet Connection: 4K video needs a lot of bandwidth. While Disney Plus doesn't provide specific guidelines for 4K streaming, expect to need at least a 25 Mbps internet connection for the best experience. You may even want to test your internet speed before you try to watch 4K content on Disney Plus or any other service. How to Find and Watch Disney Plus 4K Content
With those requirements met, here's how to find and watch 4K content on Disney Plus. Watch 4K Content From Disney Plus Homescreen
Disney Plus makes it very easy to find a selection of its 4K Ultra HD content: there's a section right there on the homescreen. Just scroll down the homescreen, past other collections of featured content, until you reach the Ultra HD and HDR section. Any content you find there will offer 4K quality and like other high-end options as well. Find Disney Plus 4K by Filtering in the Movies Section
The homescreen section only features a small percentage of Disney Plus' 4K video, though. To find all of it, you can browse and filter the Disney Plus library. Here's how: Click or tap the Search menu (it's just a magnifying glass icon on some devices). Click or tap Movies. Click or tap the filter options (on some devices, this is a drop down that defaults to Featured) and select Ultra HD and HDR. All content now displayed offers 4K resolution. Check an Item' s Details for 4K and Other Features
The filter option described in the last section only works to find 4K movies on Disney Plus. It doesn't help you find Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos content and, as of this writing, it appears that there is no 4K TV on Disney Plus. So, if you want to find out what other high-quality audio and video options a movie to TV show offers, you'll need to tap on the item and check out its details. At the top of each screen, just beneath the rating and running time, is a short list of these options. Tap the Details tab and scroll down to Available in the following formats to see the full list. What Is 4K and Does Disney Plus Offer 4K Content
4K isn't the only high-quality audio and video format Disney Plus supports. The full set of audio and video options delivered by Disney Plus is: Video 4K Ultra HD HD Dolby Vision HDR10 Audio 5.1 surround sound Dolby Atmos Not all content on Disney plus supports all of these formats, though. As of this writing, around 100 movies on Disney Plus are available to stream in the highest quality formats: 4K Ultra HD and HDR.
