Exactly the same for me - iplayer works fine for the limited UHD content, Netflix I only have standard so can't comment. 

Amazon will only stream the 4k version at 1080p HDR, everything seems to be up to date.

That was a genius solution. Thank you. I just got prime and it was driging me bonkers that it was playing in 1080.

The provided solution certainly is beneficial, though I find navigating to UHD  on my Tv ok.

 

Another link for 4k content with many  titles listed here https://www.trustedreviews.com/how-to/find-netflix-amazon-hdr-content-2942413 

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.
