5 Ways to Watch Netflix on TV

Ways to Watch Netflix on TV

1 – HDMI Cable

One of the easiest ways you can use Netflix is to connect your notebook directly to the TV with an HDMI cable. The device, in this case, functions as a large monitor – just extend or duplicate the computer screen and playback on the TV. The cable costs about $ 25 in department stores, but the downside is that you need to leave the computer always on the side of the TV.

 

2 – Chromecast

The Google device looks like a flash disk: you turn it on the TV’s HDMI input and it “chat” with your devices. That is, once Chromecast is set up, you can choose a movie on Netflix on your phone or computer and have it played on your TV.

Devices need only be connected to the same wi-fi network. The device can also pause, rewind, control the volume and even create playlists.

 

3 – Apple TV

The Apple multimedia center is a box that you connect to the TV via HDMI. And the difference is that it comes with a remote control: that is, you do not have to use a mobile phone or a computer to choose a movie on Netflix – you just need to have a wi-fi network available. However, you must have an iTunes account to set up the Apple TV.

 

4 – Videogame

Several consoles accept the installation of the Netflix application – and since the video game is already connected to the TV, the task is quite simple. The models that support the Netflix app are PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U and Wii.

 

5 – Blu-ray player

Another option is to use a blu-ray player with internet access. That is, in addition to playing your discs, it also has access to various streaming apps like Netflix. There are several models on the market.
