Max users grandfathered into $15.99 ad-free plan lose 4K, HDR next month::Number of devices you can stream from simultaneously is decreasing, too.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Max subscribers who were grandfathered into the streaming company’s cheapest ad-free plan are about to see their service get worse.
To get 4K, HDR10, and Dolby Vision streams, subscribers have to move up to Max’s Ultimate plan, which starts at $19.99/month.
Discovery warned people that the legacy plan would eventually go away when it merged Discovery+ and HBO Max in May.
The move could entice subscribers to pay the extra $4 for 4K and HDR streams.
Max has been better about offering 4K content than HBO had been in the past, though, subscribers may want to peruse the streaming service’s 4K library before deciding to pay more.
Subscribers could also opt to move to Max’s cheaper (starts at $9.99 per month) ad tier.
