Can I watch Netflix on KDL-40BX420
coy

If your television is not a smart TV, you can still watch Netflix by using a separate device that connects to your TV and allows you to stream online content. Streaming sticks, set-top boxes, and Blu-ray players with built-in streaming capabilities are some options for doing this. To use these devices, you need to have a stable internet connection and a subscription to the streaming service you want to use. Once you have done this, you can start streaming content from Netflix and other platforms on your non-smart TV.
