    I think Vizio’s TVs are overpriced and not as high-quality as Sony.

    Can I watch Netflix on E551VA
    elias

    Even if this TV is not a smart TV, you can still stream Netflix on it by using a computer or another device that connects to your TV and allows you to stream online content. You will need a stable internet connection, a subscription to the streaming service you want to use, and a way to connect your computer or other device to your TV. Once you have done this, you can start streaming content from Netflix and other platforms on your non-smart TV.
