#netflix ratings

Personalization has been one of the main focus of Netflix to provide the best user experience whether it's shown on your mobile phone or your big screen TV at home. In our session with Todd Yellin (VP of Product Innovation) during MWC in Barcelona and once more at the Netflix HQ in California, he explained all the testing and data analysis done to improve the interface and the recommendation engine. The star ratings represented compatibility -- not quality. This means that 4-5 stars indicated that based on your previous viewing habits, Netflix thought you would enjoy a specific title. Given that star ratings have traditionally been used to indicate quality in entertainment, members were sometimes confused about how to think about rating a title and how it impacted their recommendations. This April, Netflix is launching a new ratings feature (“thumbs”) that enables members to tell us what type of titles they did and didn’t enjoy. We discussed the numerous efforts developed by Netflix to deliver a better user-experience. The Aquos R11 is also built for durability, featuring Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, and MIL-STD-810G/810H certifications.
