    Can you tell us about your experience with LG TVs?

    Although I’ve seen many positive reviews of LG TVs, I’ve also seen negative reviews. So it’s hard to say whether they’re the best.

    May I stream videos from Netflix on 55SK8500PLA?

    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.
