Doesn't Netflix support 4k on personal computers exclusively on Windows with Edge? Does that use L1?

Netflix on Edge uses Microsoft's own PlayReady 3.0 not Widevine. It does offer the same DRM level as Widevine L1 though.

Netflix has capped software DRM devices to 720p, although possibly they make exceptions depending on platform. Pretty sure PC is still at 720p cap, though (I don't use Netflix, cannot confirm).
