    Can I watch Netflix on 43PUS6501/12
    rosendo_mertz

    If your TV is listed as a smart TV in the technical specifications as in this case, 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.
