LAS VEGAS — Netflix says video streaming of its programming in ultrahigh definition will work for buyers of new UHD sets from Sony, LG, Samsung, Vizio and others upon purchase.

That’s because Ultra HD models from those makers will include the Netflix app and chips that decode signals in the so-called High Efficiency Video Coding standard, or HEVC.

The chip is required to decode signals that Netflix will compress by more than 100 times and squeeze through the Internet at a speed of 15.6 megabits per second. That’s a download speed widely available from Internet providers in the U.S. When the sets go on sale in the next few months, Netflix will be ready with Ultra HD programming. Ultra HD streaming will be part of the standard Netflix streaming price of $8 a month.
