    May I stream videos from Netflix on XBR-55X800B?
    sheree.leuschke

    It's not smart TV. However if your TV is not a smart TV, you can still stream Netflix and other online content on it by using a separate device. Some options for doing this include streaming sticks, set-top boxes, and Blu-ray players with built-in streaming capabilities. To use these devices, you will need to have a stable internet connection and a subscription to the streaming service(s) you want to use, as well as set up the device to connect to your TV. Once you have done this, you can start streaming content from Netflix and other platforms on your non-smart TV.
