May I stream videos from Netflix on 42LV5500?
rosanna_blanda

Here are a few ways to determine if you can watch Netflix on your TV: Check if your TV is a smart TV: A smart TV is a television that has the ability to connect to the internet and run apps like Netflix. If your TV is a smart TV, you should be able to watch Netflix directly on it. Look for a Netflix app: If your TV is a smart TV, you may be able to find a Netflix app on the TV's home screen or app store. This will allow you to access Netflix and start watching shows and movies. Use a streaming device: If your TV is not a smart TV, you can use a separate device like a streaming stick or set-top box to connect to your TV and stream Netflix and other content from the internet. To watch Netflix on your TV, you will also need a stable internet connection and a Netflix subscription. Once you have these, you can set up your TV or streaming device and begin streaming Netflix on your TV.
