Streaming in 4K on the old HBO Max used to cost $15.99 a month; now, on the new Max, it costs $19.99 a month. Say what?

That was one of the more unpleasant surprises about Max, the just-launch combination of HBO Max and Discovery, but Max is promising that the 4K price hike is worth it.

In a press release sent on the eve of Max’s launch, the streamer showed off its 4K offerings, touting dozens of TV shows and movies available in 4K and Dolby Vision. Several of the 4K titles available on Max’s Ultimate Ad-Free tier were only offered in HD on HBO Max.

In all, Max will boast more than eight times the number of 4K titles than HBO Max did, the streamer says.

Shows getting the 4K HDR treatment on Max include And Just Like That…, Barry, Chernobyl, Game of Thrones, Sharp Objects, Succession, and Watchmen (the TV series).

Max is hosting the entire Harry Potter film series in 4K, along with all the Lord of the Rings movies (including the Extended Editions), The Hobbit trilogy, and all the Matrix films.

Starting June 7, you’ll also get to stream Avatar: The Way of Water in 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Max says.
