    What can I use the vesa mount on this TV for?

    A VESA mount is a type of mounting interface used to attach a flat screen TV or other display device to a wall or stand. Using a VESA mount can help save space in a room, allowing you to mount the TV on a wall rather than placing it on an entertainment center. It can also provide more flexibility in terms of positioning and mounting height/angle. This allows for better viewing position and improved aesthetics.

    May I stream videos from Netflix on 55SK8000PLB?
    malik

    You can watch Netflix on a smart TV by connecting it to the internet. To do this, you need a stable internet connection, a Netflix subscription and the ability to access the app through your TV's menu or home screen. If you can't find the Netflix app or if it is not supported on your specific model, contact the manufacturer for help.
