You'll now have to fork out for an additional subscription if you want to watch 4K content on Prime Video
Amazon is raising the price of its ad-free Prime Video subscription and locking 4K UHD streaming behind this new tier. Starting April 10 for US customers, a rebranded Prime Video Ultra subscription will cost $5 per month, up from $3 per month.

That means that, despite already paying $15 per month or $139 per year for Amazon Prime, you'll be stuck with 1080p shows and movies unless you sign up to Prime Video Ultra. 

Amazon has thrown in Dolby Vision support for the first time, as well as upping the concurrent stream and download count on its free tier as well, but you're losing the privilege of UHD content that has been available to all Prime Video members for years.
