    Can I watch Netflix on UE55JS8500
    katherina
    over 1 year ago
    If your TV is listed as a smart TV in the technical specifications, you should be able to connect it to the internet and run streaming apps like Netflix. However, it's always a good idea to double-check that your 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.

The Samsung UNJS8500 SUHD TV has a very good picture for an edge-lit LED LCD, but not good enough to justify the price.

While its [Smart LED] system isn't as effective as the step-up JS9000, the Samsung UE55JS8500 is a superb 4K TV that offers HDR support.

SAMSUNG UE48JS8500 Review

SINCE LAUNCHING IN 2015, the Samsung UE48JS8500 has enjoyed a hefty price cut. It’s the entry-level set in Samsung’s premium SUHD series, so you get a quantum-dot display instead of regular LCD as well as High Dynamic Range (HDR) support, giving it some much-needed future proofing for the influx of 4K HDR content – including […]
