When we stream 4k video from Netflix for example, they recommend a minimum speed of 25 mbps.But HDMI 2.0 has a bandwidth of 18.0 Gbit/s
How can we recieve 4k video with a connection speed of only 25 mbps when we need 18.0 Gbit/s to send the video to our TV?
I think it is to do with compressed vs raw 4k but do we really compress it to this an extreme? I would have thought this would result in so much loss that we are no where near 4k in the end.

You stream compressed video over the internet. But then what happens? Your computer decompresses that video and sends whole 4k frames to the screen. As smart as your screen is, it’s supposed to be a relatively dumb output device, so that it can operate independent of whatever video format you’re sourcing, or how much computing power is required to reconstitute the original frame data.
