    May I stream videos from Netflix on 55SJ8509?

    Here are a few ways to determine if you can watch Netflix on your TV: 1) Determine if your TV is a smart TV: Look at the specifications or manual for your TV to see if it has internet connectivity and the ability to access and run streaming apps like Netflix. 2) Check for a Netflix app: If your TV is a smart TV, look for a Netflix app on the TV's home screen or app store. You can also check the manufacturer's website or the TV's manual to see if Netflix is listed as a supported app. 3) Use a streaming device: If your TV is not a smart TV, you can use a separate device like a streaming stick, set-top box, or Blu-ray player with built-in streaming capabilities to access Netflix and other streaming services. 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 start watching Netflix on your TV.
