When you watch a show in 4K, a small notification will pop up on your screen to let you know. This is a great improvement for those who always want the best picture quality. With 4K, images are sharper and colors are more vivid, making for a superior viewing experience.
Previously, YouTube TV required users to dig through menus to find out which shows were available in 4K, which was a bit of a pain. Now, with the new update, you'll get an immediate notification if a 4K version is available.
However, to watch 4K content on YouTube TV, you'll need to sign up for the "4K Plus add-on" for $10/month, on top of the basic YouTube TV subscription fee, which has now increased to $83/month. This means you'll have to pay extra for the sharper viewing experience.
The idea of finding 4K content more easily is appealing, but the rising cost of streaming services has many people wary. Many people who ditched cable to save money are now finding that they could end up paying the same or more than they would for traditional cable.
Streaming is clearly the way of the times, delivering quality content that you can watch anywhere. But some are hoping that the price hikes will level off soon, so as not to put further pressure on consumers.
