Streaming at higher resolutions? (lemmy.ml)

I've finally invested in a high resolution monitor, which means 1080p content looks pretty bad, especially on a 32 inch display.

I've been using FMovies so far for streaming, but now that 1080 looks like shit on my display, it's sort of lost it's appeal. Are there any ways to have a convenient streaming setup (that doesn't require too much effort for every new movie/show I want to watch) that also supports 1440p or 4k?

Keep in mind that bitrate is king. Of course anything on FMovies is gonna look crap because they can't afford the bandwidth for all the people that use it to have crazy high bitrate streams.

A decent 20-40mbps 1080p movie is gonna look better than any FMovies type site streaming 4k.

20-40 Mbps is way overkill for 1080p.

Unless you plan on using to source encodes.
