Unlike Netflix, Prime Video is set up to try and sell you channels that offer extra content for a monthly fee – usually grouped by theme or genre (Shudder), or by rights holder (Paramount Plus and Starz in the US). You'll find the appropriate tags '4K UHD' and 'HDR' on different pages – if you want to watch The Boys or Chris Pratt action movie The Tomorrow War in 4K, for example, you're in luck. You don't have to pay extra to access this, though, unlike with Netflix. Prime Video offers a decent helping of 4K content, too, as part of the subscription package, with lots of originals covered. Prime membership gets you expedited delivery from Amazon, not to mention other benefits around reading and gaming. ![]() You can also get Prime Video by itself for $8.99 / £5.99, but given that the price difference is minimal in the UK, the main membership tier is the better choice in that region (there's no such option in Australia). You can search '4K' on Netflix's app in your region, which reveals which ones are streaming in UHD, even if that's not part of your tier.Īmazon Prime costs $12.99 / £7.99 / AU$6.99 per month, with discounts if you pay yearly. Lots of Netflix content is available in 4K – the majority of its originals, for example, but also some movies and shows sourced from elsewhere (if you're in the UK, that includes Spider-Man: Far From Home). There's a cheaper basic tier for $8.99 / £5.99 / AU$11.99, but since that comes without HD streaming, it's not one we'd recommend unless you're on a budget. Netflix's Standard plan costs $13.99 (£9.99 / AU$15.99) per month, while the Premium plan with Ultra HD content costs $17.99 (£13.99 / AU$19.99) a month.
