Netflix's Roku is Doomed to Fail

Even at the fastest connection speed, 'watch now' videos have too low a resolution for a big screen. I have my PC connected to my 50" screen with a wired and fast connection, and I've never seen a 'watch now' movie that was passable for that size. They're just too stretched and blocky.

Smaller monitors are a different story. They would look fine, perhaps great, on a 27" CRT.

The biggest problem here is the selection. I've found very few popular releases in 'watch now.' It seems to be mostly older shows, documentaries, and B-movies.
