Can I watch Netflix on KD-65ZD9
ramona
over 1 year ago
Here are a few ways to determine if you can watch Netflix on your TV: Check if your TV is a smart TV: A smart TV is a television that can connect to the internet and run apps like Netflix. If your TV is a smart TV, you should be able to watch Netflix on it. 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 watch Netflix directly on your TV. Use a streaming device: If your TV is not a smart TV, you can use a separate device like a stick or box to connect to your TV and stream Netflix and other shows and movies 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 start watching Netflix on your TV.
