Ever wish you could make Netflix's subtitles larger — or smaller — on your TV?

Well, now you can, thanks to a new update that began rolling out this week.

Subscribers will be able to adjust subtitle text size to small, medium, or large, and choose among four text colors and styles, including: drop shadow (the default white text), dark (white text on a black background), contrast (yellow text on a black background), and light (black text on a white background).
