What do you like and dislike about LG TVs?
jaime.leannon
over 1 year ago
I think LG’s TVs are overrated because they don’t have all the features I want, such as a built-in DVD player and a swiveling screen.

Can I stream Netflix on OLED55B8?
karina
over 1 year ago
If your television is compatible with Netflix, you can watch your favorite shows and movies on it just like you would on a smart TV. To do so, your television will need to have an internet connection and the Netflix app installed. Once this is done, you'll be able to watch Netflix content just as you would on a smart TV.
