    May I stream videos from Netflix on OLED55E8PLA?
    elia
    over 1 year ago
    If your TV is listed as a smart TV, that means it should be able to connect to the internet and run apps like Netflix. To watch Netflix on your TV, you'll need to have a good internet connection and a subscription to Netflix. You'll also need to set up your TV to connect to the internet and find the Netflix app. If you can't find the Netflix app or if it's not listed as a supported app, you may need to check with the company that made your TV to see if it can be added or if it's not supported on your specific model. Once you have everything set up, you'll be able to watch your favorite shows and movies on your TV just like you would on a smart TV.

With the same video tech as its sibling C8 model, can LG's E8 OLED TV justify the extra spend?

LG E8 OLED TV (2018) and SK10Y soundbar review: If you've been on the fence about OLED, now might be the time to jump it
4.5

The 2018 E8 OLED positions LG as an AV player that’s still in the lead when it comes to image quality but not necessarily as sharp when it comes to other, broader aspects of the home entertainment package.
