Google has announced that over 125 motion pictures are now available in UHD quality with Google’s own VP9 codec. US and Canada residents can now purchase and stream 4K movies on their Android device, Chromecast Ultra, Sony Bravia Android TV, Xiaomi Mi Box 3, 2016 model year Samsung Smart TVs and on the desktop.

Those with new Chromecast Ultra devices can take advantage of a coupon for a free viewing of “Ghostbusters: Answer The Call,” “Captain Phillips” or one of a few other flicks in 4K as long as they grab a coupon code by December 31 and use it up by April 30.
