Thanks for your posting, I purchased LN46B640 as well, I am wondering what I need to do to watch internet content like youtube on this TV?

Hello, Are there a lot of Blu-Ray movies in Netflix-streaming?Can you "record" movies (save to your hard-drive, etc) from netflix-streaming?

Thanks so much for the quick reponse.How good is the quality of the movies over the internet? Does the blu ray player hook up to the net and if so is it wireless? Or are you talking about renting movies thru the mail in blu ray.I'm trying to avoid the mail rentals since my family tends to misplace them.

Sure you can plug in your laptop to connect to internet and watch netflix. You can do that with pretty much all lcds nowadays. As long as you connect your laptop, you can watch whatever is from your laptop. I bought the LN46B640 (grey bezel) from best buy for $999 which is a s slight improvement from this model and it looks amazing. Instead of connecting your laptop to watch netflix, you should look into purchasing a blu-ray with netflix capabilities because they are cheap nowadays.

The LG BD530 has a linux operation system. For those familiar with Linux, Netflix does not currently have linux support. Therefore the player by default, cannot support Netflix. I suppose for those who are technically advanced there could be a way to run a virtual machine on this device, but don't hold your breath on this. Any attempts to do so would surely void your warranty and could brick your machine.

HDMI cable is needed to connect it to the TV, the Amazon brand cable sold here works just fine with it and its very cheap. And yes it can connect to a wireless router or you can connect it by the LAN output. and ofcourse you would need a paid membership from Netflix to stream their stuff.

This is not a "smart tv". To my knowledge there is no internet viability and it will not connect to Netflix, or any apps through the tv directly. With additional equipment it can run smart parameters, but that is through xbox one, chromcast, or something of the regard.

No it didn't work. We wound up having to hook it up by wire to our wireless router in order to get Internet access for Netflix.

Much to our disapointment..you cannot! We love the TV..but the whole idea was not to use our laptop each time we wanted to watch movies. I registered the warranty for the TV and asked the same question to LG (no info on this TV). You can with Netflix and it works really well.

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you.

I really don't know. I had some issues so I ran an ethernet line, and Netflix works great.My house has a lot of concrete in it and it seems to prohibit the WIFI from being effective.

If you have an HDMI connection on your HDTV, yes it works great. I have Netflix and hooked up my Asus Zen tablet to stream movies without any problems. Also, if you use a wireless mouse and keyboard, you can surf the net using the TV as the monitor.

Netflix streaming video quality has more to do with your internet connection than your router. If your internet connection is too slow for Netflix to stream at it's highest quality than the image may look poor. Either way I would not recommend streaming video through wireless. If it is your only option than you may want to install higher gain antennas on either end to help connectivity.

I have tried using PlayOn with my LN46a750 with no luck. The TV sees the server fine and I can navigate to Netflix, hulu etc, but when I try playing a file, the tv processes it for about 15 seconds and then shows an "Cannot play this files" error message. Anyone have any luck getting this working?

Yes netflix will work on this phone if you connect with your home wifi it is fast. If you use it without home wifi via cell service it works but can sometimes have a delay.

Hi EarlyMon, my husband and I have been looking at tvs at B&M; stores to see what we like. We have decided on a 52 inch Samsung, but we wondering about the B550. Can I connect my laptop to the tv and watch Netflix instant movies? Thanks for letting me pick your brain on this stuff. Liz

I have watched 2 Netflix movies, and the quality was super via my home wifi. Is it true High Def? My best answer is "I think so!"

If Panny's blu ray bdt220 player has internet connection then yes. This TV on it own doesn't connect to the Internet and therefore on its own cannot stream Netflix. Hope this helps.

Never tried streaming Netflix with it. I only used it as a movie player. I could never find a wifi connection with this. I now use a Asus Nexus for almost everything when away from the laptop. The KLU is confusing, slow, freezes all the time...

Ok, that is my problem. I want the one that can connect to Netflix and is wireless. Is there such a thing out there? The prices are almost the same so I would like to get the best version. It is getting late, I have to buy. Please help..
