    May I stream videos from Netflix on Bravia KDL-40W605B?
    timmy_macejkovic

    To watch Netflix on a smart TV, you'll need to connect it to the internet. You can set up your TV's Wi-Fi connection and find the Netflix app in the settings menu. If you can't find the Netflix app or if it's not listed as a supported app, 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 everything is set up, you'll be able to watch your favorite shows and movies on your TV just like you would on a smart TV.
