I don't see the point in wasting bandwith streaming HD just so it can down convert the video back to SD.
Netflix on the NT is of higher quality than on the Nook Color or the Kindle Fire. It is not true HD (720p or 1080p), but the difference between SD on the color and "HD" on the tablet is like night and day.

I suggest you don't compare against the NT then, you may be disappointed.

KF on the left, NT on the right.



Edit: add picture.
