I’ve been using Samsung TVs for years, and I’ve never had a problem with them. They're really good value for money, in my opinion.

May I stream videos from Netflix on QE65Q8F?
euna

Here are a few ways to determine if you can watch Netflix on your TV: 1) Determine if your TV is a smart TV: Look at the specifications or manual for your TV to see if it has internet connectivity and the ability to access and run streaming apps like Netflix. 2) Check for a Netflix app: If your TV is a smart TV, look for a Netflix app on the TV's home screen or app store. You can also check the manufacturer's website or the TV's manual to see if Netflix is listed as a supported app. 3) Use a streaming device: If your TV is not a smart TV, you can use a separate device like a streaming stick, set-top box, or Blu-ray player with built-in streaming capabilities to access Netflix and other streaming services. To watch Netflix on your TV, you will also need a stable internet connection and a Netflix subscription. Once you have these, you can set up your TV or streaming device and start watching Netflix on your TV.

What can I use the vesa mount on this TV for?
zachariah
over 1 year ago
VESA mounts are standardized interfaces that allow you to attach a TV to a wall mount or stand. The VESA mount on your TV is typically located on the back of the TV and is identified by a set of holes spaced in specific distances apart. To use a VESA mount, purchase a mounting bracket that is compatible with the VESA pattern on your TV and follow instructions for attaching the bracket to the TV and mounting it on the wall or stand. This will help ensure that your TV is securely mounted.
