The increased demand for 4K TVs also brought along a lot of 4K content among users. YouTube has been here for long, but it has lacked the quality content and programming of everyday TV shows. Netflix, the world’s leading streaming service has a massive library of TV shows, originals, movies and many more. They have rich exclusive content as well as classics. Most of the smart TVs today come with Netflix preinstalled. Some models even bundle a remote with dedicated Netflix button for easy access. The only thing you need to do is to setup Netflix on the TV and start streaming. Netflix even has free trials available that you use to try it out. Here is a step-by-step guide of how to get Netflix going on your TV.

Note: If the app isn’t preinstalled, go to the app store on your TV, search for Netflix and install it.
