On recent LGs with WebOS it's quite easy to get that type of information with the native Netflix app.

So if you happen to watch on one of those, just make sure you have that info button[1] on your app or real remote.

When pressed, you get the basic bitrate and resolution information for the video stream: https://twitter.com/mxfh/status/1081721617741430785

On the authors Sony too. At least it works fine on my lower end model. Can’t remember whether it shows Bitrate, but resolution is certainly there. And no color format issues. I think they made their life voluntarily complicated.

Giving your TV access to the internet might make some things easier, but you’re giving a quite a lot away if you care about privacy.

Same for Netflix app on Samsung TVs, I can see when I'm streaming 4k directly.
