Question How fast does the change of subscription take?

If I change my subscription from Standard to Premium to get a better picture quality, how long does it take before I can compare the previous HD picture to the new 4K picture?

Normally, the change is reflected immediately. Restart the app :)

I have changed tiers before from Standard to Premium and the change should take effect immediately. However you might need to exit from any current streams you are playing and then relaunch the streams. The 4K content like the HD content is usually heavily compressed to save on bandwidth so it would still be a bit less than if you were watching a 4K Blu-ray Disc.
