New streaming titles in HD from Netflix

Netflix frequently adds new titles to their streaming library (in fact, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings stated back in Nov. 2010 that Netflix is “now primarily a streaming video company”). But most new titles are only available in standard-def, a resolution that looks decent on your laptop but not so good on your 42″ HDTV.

Just about every month we pick out new titles available in hi-def from Netflix’s “New Releases” category. And while the streaming quality doesn’t compare to a 1080p Blu-ray Disc (you’ll notice lots of pixelation especially in dark scenes and gradient backgrounds) getting movies instantly is surely the wave of the future.

How do you know what titles are available to watch instantly in HD? Simply roll over the title of the film or TV show on the Netflix website and you’ll see a list of available formats. Titles available in hi-def will read “Streaming (HD Available).”

Here are new streaming titles from Netflix available in HD:
