Vudu UHD - Compatible Devices List

[Jake]

i have a Phillips 5000 series tv, which is on the compatible devices list. will not allow any playback except SD. im at a loss.

Checked on this and heard there was recently a new Philips TV firmware update (like yesterday?) and Vudu app update that should resolve this.

So recently I purchased a Toshiba 55" Class LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV Edition TV, Model Number# 55LF621U21 from Best Buy but when I go into the Vudu app it tells me that I bought the HDX version, but will only let me stream it in SD??

I know it's a bit late but this may help @a.hope.griff

UHD capabilities is all dependent on the relationship between the app developer and the manufacturers support. If the manufacturer does not wish to support UHD on the apps on their platform, there not much Vudu can do. If a device is UHD 4k capable, it does not guarantee that every app that can support UHD will be UHD on said device.

I want to watch 4k movies on my phone but it doesn't let me and I don't know y I have a note 20 ultra.

4k mobile streaming on Vudu is not available at the moment. Hopefully its something that can be implemented in the future.

Thank you Felipe. I know that I can work around my issue for now. You would think that a TV whose remote features a dedicated Vudu button would want to showcase their 4K capabilities by keeping their app up to date. Maybe I should blame Google because it's a chromecast android TV.

Philip's 43pfl5604/f7 only shows SD quality in the built-in app. I can still cast UHD from my android phone though as a temporary workaround. Also, side note, the movies anywhere app can do HDX but not UHD.

I have a Phillips smart tv that clearly says on the front that it is 4K but it won’t play my purchased movies ...

I imagine it isnt very simple to integrate both sites. Just to make the specific decisions of what and how things needs to be done I imagine could take 2 months if not more.

Since Fandango owns Vudu for the past 8 months or so, does anyone know if Vudu will support IMAX ENHANCED?

It seems they are keeping both companies completely separate. Don't know why?

531 UHD
762 HDX
5 SD

I have the older Xbox and DV and Atmos were already supported with Vudu UHD titles so that's nothing new.

But the new xbox is.... new! so it should certainly be added to the list.

When you open a ticket with Vudu support, they will point at this thread, to that list, as the definitive list of what they support on which devices. Again, TWO YEARS? Slack.
