Even if you use WiFi, the streaming is fast and reliable. I've had it for a long time now and never experienced any lag. It's just the menu that's very slow. It's fine if you know what you want to watch, but it's like being on dial up again if you are just browsing.

I have not had any problems with speed on this device. It's a little tedious typing in the setup information with a remote rather than a keyboard but once that is done you should have no problems with speed. The only thing I use it for is Netflix and sometimes Pandora. It works fine.

This device works well, however you will need a strong wifi signal, because it has an older processor. I have own my for about two years with on problems.

I had this same problem, too. put a couple of movies on there and it was almost painful to try to watch. I don't think this device works very well for videos/movies. :/ I doubt the hardware is good enough to provide a proper, synced playback.

I don't have a slow Netflix problem, but I do have a "flashing black screen" problem. This appears as an occasional flickering or a short blackout. Otherwise, the streaming is the best I have seen so far.

Ive only used it to watch Amazon Prime and I noticed that it does. But have not used it yet for Netflix.

I am sorry to say that these questions are over my head. I don't know what any of those things mean. But my assumption is that since all of those things matter to you, this tv is likely not for you. Like I mentioned in my review, the Netflix did not work very well. So I expect that the other smart features are also unimpressive. That doesn't bother me, since I use my bluray player for that. Also, the picture in motion is not the greatest, so that might be an issue for you too. For my basic requirements, I am satisfied with this. I know that this is not the best tv, but the price was good & I like it. I am sorry to say that these questions are over my head. I don't know what any of those things mean.

I was able to stream to my Asus I play player and smart tv. The device was slow because the media scanner was constantly running and taking 90% of the resources. I recommend buying a synology nas instead for media and everything else. The OS is much better an the apps to stream to smart TVs and iPad/android are better. WD is not fully baked.

The response time is 6ms. I watched netflix on it without any problem. I'm not sure about playing games

Watching netflix, the playback is choppy. It is as if the hardware can't keep up. It isn't our internet, we watch netflix on a variety of WiFi devices in this house and it works great on all of them. Everything is updated, I have not been able to resolve it. I'm very disappointed.

As a blue ray player this works just fine, But for any streaming (youtube netflix ext) I would get another device for that. I experience constant freezing/pausing and its really slow to bootup. I just got a amazon firestick for 40 bucks and I am much more happy with that.

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...

While i had mine I didn't use for movies. But to my understanding Netflix will not work. It was an awesome tablet otherwise. Hope this helped.

It might, but Google's Chromecast is probably a better device. I had all kinds of trouble getting this to work and eventually gave up. I also don't understand what you mean by the netflix comment. You do need to get the content from somewhere. If not from Netflix then from Hulu or Amazon Prime etc. This device (or Google's chromecast or any other device) certainly won't help you with *getting* the content, just casting it to a TV when you have it.

It does have an app for NETFLIX,-- however it stalled allot or crashed sometimes . It never really worked correctly for me. Its not really a high powered tablet. I right articles and use my email allot. This tablet is great for someone who has never owned a tablet , because after owning this one --- you will know exactly what you want and need from a tablet. I would purchase it again if need be.

Yes; it also reduces video quality for slower connections. Thus if I'm watching Netflix and my connection gets jammed rather than stopping to buffer the quality drops down to not interrupt the viewing.For reference I use Time Warner Lite - the cheapest slowest package available ($19.99 / month) which claims download speeds up "up to 1 mbps" and I am streaming in full HD a lot of the time with virtually no wait. I just loaded an episode of Psych, took 45 seconds and its full HD.

I just bought one of these last week and the picture looks good from any angle. I am very pleased with the picture quality also, as well as it's wi-fi conections. My wife streams Netflix movies on it at least once a day.I hope this has been of some help for you.
