Does this actually get 1080p? I thought L3 was limited to 720?

L3 is weak enough that you can dump it by just hooking the decoders.



> Most streaming platforms will limit you to only "HD" content on L3 (as opposed to 4K on L1). On Netflix, this upper limit is 1080p (although it might depend on the specific content you're trying to watch?), but you are further limited to a mere 720p by default. For some reason, you can only get 1080p if your client asks nicely for it (at the protocol level), and there are browser extensions that do this for you automatically.


Entirely depends on what the streaming service feeds you. IIRC Disney+ drops you to 480p.
