I'd have to check and see if I can access Netflix from my desktop at work, but my suspicion is that the lower quality has more to do with smaller screens in general. That is, you can get away with a lower bitrate when you're viewing on a screen that's 19", and that's probably a fairly safe maximum size for most people watching on a desk- or laptop directly.
No. Even on a 4k 55" tv, I cant manage to get more.
