I don't want to spend a lot so I'm weighing whether it is actually worthwhile to buy the RPi3 or wait a bit for some better cheap hardware. I have two TVs. One with RPi2 and Apple TV 2 (with Netflix app) and another one with a solo RPi2. So, upgrading to RPi3 would mean that I could watch Netflix on both TVs, but if it's only 720p, I'm not sure if it's worth it. Especially since I plan in the next year or so to upgrade one of the TV screens (shitty Philips 32", worst electronics purchase in my life, and I own Windows phones, so there's that.)
Correct, 1080p is too much for RPi3 which has to decode/render the Netflix video in software (to be honest I can't really tell the difference between 720p and 1080p while watching at a normal viewing distance on 42" screen).
If you want 1080p Netflix without spending a lot then a cheap Android box might be your best bet.
