Netflix for Windows

Service for streaming television and film

Netflix is an ad free streaming entertainment service that is available in more than 190 countries. You can also watch Netflix exclusive content, as well as TV series and documentaries in different languages and genres. Netflix members can view as much content as they wish, any time, anywhere. Netflix will recommend content you like more if you watch more.

Netflix offers personalized recommendations that will help you find the series and movies you are interested in. It uses its own complex recommendation system. It starts when you create your Netflix profile or create an account. To allow the system to 'jumpstart' your recommendations, you will be asked to choose a few titles you are most likely to watch. This is temporary. Netflix will continue to recommend titles based upon your most recent titles.

The basic Netflix recommendation system will calculate the likelihood that you will watch a specific title based on three factors: your viewing history, similar tastes and information about the title. Information can vary by genre, year of release, and so forth. The algorithm also considers your viewing habits, such as the time of day, device usage, and length of time spent watching a film or TV series. You can choose a title from the Netflix catalogue if you wish to explore a different genre.

A preview of the catalog will be displayed on the Netflix homepage. It is made up of a series rows, with titles organized by number of viewers. These titles can still vary by profile because it still considers your preferences. If you have other users in Netflix's account, you will see their personalized homepages. This is because each profile is monitored to ensure that the best possible order of titles is displayed to the user.

Netflix offers three membership plans as a subscription-based streaming service. You can choose from a Basic, Standard or Premium plan. You can choose whether you want to view Netflix content in Standard Definition (SD), High Definition(HD), or Ultra High Definition [UHD]. It is important to note what device you will be using to view Netflix content, whether you choose the Premium or Standard plan.

The Netflix Windows app can be downloaded on any Windows 8 or 10 computer or tablet. However, the quality and download capabilities of the two apps are different. Netflix for Windows 10 allows you to stream titles in 4K resolution and download videos in 1080p. You can also configure Dolby Atmos audio for select titles. Netflix for Windows 8 however, has no offline streaming capabilities but allows users to stream movies and shows at 1080p.

Netflix for Windows computers or tablets can be a great benefit to many viewers who use their Windows device most. Netflix will display the most popular TV shows and films from around the world at launch. This allows you to spend more time viewing than searching for titles that appeal to your tastes.
