Can I watch Netflix on KD-55X8505B
jude.wolf
over 1 year ago
Here are a few ways to determine if you can watch Netflix on your TV: 1) Check if your TV is a smart TV: A smart TV is a television that has the ability to connect to the internet and run apps like Netflix. If your TV is a smart TV, you should be able to watch Netflix directly on it. 2) Look for a Netflix app: If your TV is a smart TV, you may be able to find a Netflix app on the TV's home screen or app store. This will allow you to access Netflix and start watching shows and movies. 3) Use a streaming device: If your TV is not a smart TV, you can use a separate device like a streaming stick or set-top box to connect to your TV and stream Netflix and other content from the internet. 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 begin streaming Netflix on your TV.

The Sony X850C 4k TV has good overall picture quality, except when viewed at an angle - the colors lose saturation. The blacks are great and it doesn't have much...

Sony's X8505 step-down 4K TV might not be the glorious example of the type that the X9005 is, but it still has plenty to recommend.

Sony KD-55X8505C review

Superb motion-handling makes this affordable 55in 4K/Ultra HD TV a real action hero The 55in KD-55X8505C is the honey trap for Sony’s 2015 4K UHD models. Priced considerably below the ultra-slim X90C and the hi-res audio-capable X93C/X94C behemoths, this is UHD for the brand-buying mainstream.

Sony’s entry-level 4K TV isn’t the best, but it’s still pretty darn good and that price tag makes it a bit of a bargain

Sony KD-55X8505C 4K TV Review

Sony's KD-55X8505C is good value for money, especially after the latest firmware update that adds HDR support & 4:4:4 chroma at 4K@60Hz.

Sony KD-55X5805 review

Get more pixels for less money with this modestly-priced 4K/Ultra HD TV While Sony’s flagship 4K TVs for 2014, the X9005B series, are magnificent performers, they represent a considerable challenge for your average UK living room.
