Watching 4K content on PC

Seems like technology keeps adding DRM to makes things difficult for consumer.

It would seem like you need a 4K monitor/TV capable of HDR and also capable of HDCP 2.2

Then you need Windows 10 that supports some new DRM thing .. perhaps April 2018 update and later.

Then you need a Graphics card that is capable of 10bits color , that means a GTX1050 or above.. for Nvidia.  For AMD, I cant find any info other than their latest drivers supposed to add support..

Then you need Microsoft Edge browser in order to get to Netflix site to play the movie. It would appears using Chrome browser would not work.

Of course you need to be a subscriber of Netflix's premium plan to get 4K content.

Anyone out there have experience with this?
