16 Best Streaming Services with 4K for Cord-cutting

Much has been said about the merits of 4k viewing: with extra pixels packed into the screen, a video in 4k (also known as ultra high-definition or UHD) looks crisper, cleaner, and clearer. If you haven't made the switch already, it's worth considering if you want the ultimate viewing experience. But 4k also comes with its own prerequisites. You have to make sure your internet is fast enough to support such high-definition viewing, and you'll need a compatible device, which usually comes in the form of a smart TV, a streaming device, or a gaming console. The final requirement is, of course, having 4k titles available. 

Enter streaming services. Not all of them offer 4k options, and even then, they might charge 4k viewing at a premium. But there are still plenty to choose from. Netflix and Amazon Prime should still be your go-to when it comes to quantity, while Max comes highly recommended when it comes to quality. For live TV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo (for select events) are reliable services as well. Below is a full round-up of your 4k streaming options.
