I just watched this on the chrome box cause I've never looked at it and you might find the info helpful.
One quote from the comments stuck out as well (the comment was from a year ago so it might not be true today)

I think it's worth mentioning that Netflix currently doesn't support HD in Chrome OS. The stream bitrate is limited to roughly 1750-2000, which should translate to 480p. Google Play Movies also don't support HD in Chrome OS yet. YouTube videos, however, play 1080p perfectly fine. Not a big deal on Chromebooks with smaller screens, but something to keep in mind when hooking a Chromebox to a large monitor or TV.
