How does streaming video quality compare to cable TV?

Streaming video quality can match or exceed cable TV when conditions are optimal. 4K HDR streaming on Netflix, Max, or Disney+ surpasses standard cable picture quality significantly. At 1080p HD, streaming is comparable to cable HD. The main variables are your internet speed, Wi-Fi reliability, and which tier you subscribe to. Unlike cable, streaming quality can fluctuate based on network congestion. For sports, cable or satellite still has a latency advantage for live events.
