Might have something todo with silverlight player and the html5 player.

This will show :

You can also verify the quality that you are getting by using the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-Alt-S while a stream is playing using the HTML5 Player.

Of course, you don't believe what Netflix says they provide?

Chrome/Firefox does not support the DRM the content providers require to play 1080p streams.

Shut your mouth! As bad as the new interface is for mouse use, it is still much better than using a controller or remote for navigation.

They do depending on your OS.
