Hi, I've recently brought a MacBook Air M2 (2022) and I've just brought a 4k film from Apple TV to watch. For some reason it's showing in my library as HD, I thought this was because I had downloaded it, but I deleted the download and it's still showing as HD??
Does anyone know what's happened here and how I can watch the film in 4k?
Thanks for your help.
MacBook Air, macOS 13.0
The commonly accepted definition of the generic "4K" resolution refers to a display with a horizontal pixel count of approximately 4000 pixels, hence the name. The MacBook Air with M2 chip has a horizontal pixel count of 2560.
There are plenty of compatible monitors. I like the Apple Studio Display which has a horizontal pixel count of 5120, commonly referred to as "5K". It is compatible with your model MacBook Air.

... how I can watch the film in 4k?
By connecting a 4K display: Connect a display to your Mac - Apple Support
You can also watch it with an Apple TV 4K: Apple TV 4K - Apple
MacBook Air with M2 chip - Tech Specs - Apple supports an external display with up to 6K resolution.
Thanks John, that's really helpful - surely the MacBook has a 4K compatible screen though?
