Can I watch Netflix on UE55KS8000
alonso
over 1 year ago
You can watch Netflix on a smart TV by connecting it to the internet. To do this, you need a stable internet connection, a Netflix subscription and the ability to access the app through your TV's menu or home screen. If you can't find the Netflix app or if it is not supported on your specific model, contact the manufacturer for help.

Samsung UE55KS8000 review and best prices (KS8000) | S21

The Samsung KS8000 is the best of the Korean company's 2016 range of LED TVs, and the 55-inch model seems like the ideal choice to enjoy 4K HDR viewing at its best. The super-bright screen shows more subtle shadow details than most rivals, and is the best screen you can buy for the price, in our opinion. Audio quality is excellent too, as is connectivity, and Samsung's 2016 Smart TV system is simply outstanding.
