What counts as a device for Netflix?

How do I get Netflix on my non smart TV?

Ok, so this is the latest thing I found out.

How to download the Netflix app for Roku or some sort of Smart TV device? This is the one which has a physical remote: Netflix Smart Device Remote and not the online app. That's basically a TV remote (remote control), right? It connects via wi-fi to a router connected to a TV to stream things onto it from your internet. I have heard that the Samsung HDTVs have an app like that, but we'll see. So I wanted to see if I can figure out how to get Netflix on my non-smart TV which includes a Roku.

I have an LG PJS71 which I know has a Netflix app, but I'm not sure I can buy the online app on my laptop and it has to somehow transfer the files onto it and then connect it to the Netflix website on my computer. Any ideas? Is it really simple? A similar thing to this is an iOS device that does the transfer. But for the most part this is what I'm looking for to get started. And in your opinion (and of those reading it), what would you recommend?

When you have a smart television like the TCL 6300 and the Qosmio X70, you can use the Roku app and then get Netflix on that TV. You don't need a Netflix app on the computer if you have a smart TV like those two models.

Thanks! You're probably right. So what model do you have, do you know off the top of your head? I'm trying to stream Hulu Plus at the moment with a Logitech Revue on my Laptop, and then connect it to a Roku. If that does work I could probably do without Hulu, since it's limited on viewing time.

I found a Netflix app for the TCL 65TS, so does that mean that Roku/DLP are just as good? I want something relatively easy to operate and that does not need to be constantly plugged in, just turn it on. Also, I saw that Netflix has added an Amazon Fire Tablet app (free) and also they added Roku. How long have they done this and what is the purpose behind doing that? Does it add competition between all of them, or for a certain category? Because Netflix was founded in 1997, and Amazon was created in 1994.

What device do I need to watch Netflix on my TV?

The first step in setting up your new streaming TV device is to decide which one will best serve your needs.

Each of these devices is designed to deliver the same Netflix streaming experience to the TV as to your smartphone or tablet, but they do it in very different ways. So before you dig into the nitty gritty details of each platform, read on for the short and simple answers to this question.

Best overall experience. This is a tough call: the Roku HD comes closest to meeting all my expectations with just its own apps and no external devices required. The device is easy to set up, includes built-in apps, supports casting and other advanced features, and is simple to navigate and use. But perhaps most importantly, the interface and user experience on the Roku HD is the best I've found on any device and Roku continues to improve it with every new update. This is the easiest, most feature-packed streaming device that I've tested, and if you're willing to pay the price for the HDMI port and remote control, it's also the most versatile.

The downside? It's pricey and it requires an HDMI input on your TV. The best of both worlds. If you want a smart streaming device with built-in apps, but don't want to spend big bucks, the Fire TV Stick might be your best option. It also has no external cords, remote control, or HDMI port required, but it does require an extra USB input and a wired connection to your router or modem. This one has the best screen, best sound quality, and the easiest app interface, but lacks many of the advanced features available on the Roku and Amazon Fire devices. If you have a WiFi network with an HDMI input, though, it's a solid option.

But if you don't have a router or modem on your network, and you want an easy-to-use device that does most of what you need in a single place, the Fire TV Stick makes the most sense. It costs less than the Roku, doesn't need a remote, and has much of the same functionality, although it doesn't include the best screen or sound quality. However, it does come with a remote control for the TV, so it makes a great option for anyone who doesn't need a Roku remote control, or who wants to use the remote control's universal search and volume buttons.
