May I stream videos from Netflix on 65SK8500PLA?
everette
over 1 year ago
If your smart TV is listed as such in the technical specifications, it should have the ability to connect to the internet and run streaming apps like Netflix. However, it is always a good idea to double-check that the TV has a Netflix app or that Netflix is listed as a supported app on the manufacturer's website or in the TV's manual.

What can I use the vesa mount on this TV for?
christian
over 1 year ago
A VESA mount is a type of mounting interface that is commonly used to mount flat panel TVs and other display devices to a wall or stand. Using a VESA mount can offer a number of benefits. For one, it can help save space by allowing the TV to be mounted on a wall rather than placed on an entertainment center or stand. This can be especially useful in smaller living spaces, where floor space is at a premium. In addition, mounting a TV using a VESA mount can allow for more flexibility in positioning the TV. Different angles and heights can be achieved depending on the user's preference, making it easier to find the ideal viewing position for the TV. Finally, mounting a TV using a VESA mount can also help improve the overall aesthetics of its surrounding area by allowing it to be mounted in a way that looks more visually appealing.
