If, as a Netflix user, you do plan on watching, isn’t it nice not having to pay an extra pay-per-view fee?
But to make the most out of your monthly subscription, it’s worth being aware of the streaming service’s ‘secret’ feature that will help improve the picture of your 4K resolution TV.
Assuming you have one, that is, along with Netflix’s Premium tier which allows you to watch programmes and films in 4K.
A Netflix spokesperson confirmed to TV Answer Man that the fight will be broadcast in 4K for Netflix premium subscribers.
To be sure that you have the best picture quality possible – and what the producers intended for you to see – you’ll need to do the following settings.
As reported by Tech Radar, you can’t just enter ‘Test Patterns’ into the search box on the Netflix menu. The process is a little more fiddly.

There’s a way to improve your picture quality (Netflix)
To make picture adjustments, you select the colour control section where you can manage adjust red, white, green and blue colour gradients ‘until there is clear definition between the darker centre and brighter surrounding squares in the colour patches’.
The tech outlet says you can adjust the sharpness level in the resolution bars that look a little like the old rulers you used to use in school.
If the numbers are a bit blurry, you can adjust them to make them sharper, which will reflect when you’re watching the fight. If your settings are too sharp, the numbers might be surrounded in white.
“This is basically video noise that isn’t doing anything to add detail to your TV’s picture and should be removed,” they added.
Now your TV is all set up, the undercard for Mike Tyson v Jake Paul is set to take place around 1am our time.
The main event is thought to begin around 4am.
