Netflix has confirmed they have begun testing 4K streaming, hoping to become a major provider by the end of 2014.
The company has added a handful of 4K UltraHD videos to its streaming library this week, with a much wider rollout expected in the next few months. Additionally, the company says it "hopes to launch Ultra HD next year."
For now, the titles are really just reference footage, including one title called "El Fuente: 24 MP," with a description that bluntly reads, "an example of 4K at 24 frames per second." The footage is kids playing in a fountain and people riding on bicycles, showing the streaming in different conditions.
Netflix is expected to make its own original content offerings in UltraHD next year, along with some other major content from licensing partners.
