I connected a Mac mini directly to the TV using the VGA cable. I logged into Netflix. I clicked on an instant play movie. I was asked to install the Silverlight plugin, which I did. And then voila! It worked perfectly. This should work just as well with any Intel-based computer. Now if I could only figure out how to connect the TV to the computer wirelessly.

Install PlayOn from Media Mall technologies in your computer, Add the movie you want to watch in Netflix to the Queue, anf use any DLNA certified devices to watch it. I believe LN46A750 is one of them.

I don't think it can, but for $99 you can purchase a Roku box from Netfix that does a great job with easy set up easy to hook up to your at home WiFi etc. I've had a very good experience w/ it, but I have DSL Qwest and it doesn't have the best down load speed, probably best w/ cable modem or high speed DSL (especially w/ HDTV)

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?

It's a bit of a pain, but it does work (I got this info from MediaMall/PlayOn user forums):Select the movie of choice using the Yellow button on the Samsung remote.Tell the Samsung to play the movie.Almost always you'll get an error about invalid format, ignore this.Hit Return two times (gets you back to the movie selection screen)Without changing selection tell the Samsung to play the movie again.Almost always, the show will start up in a few seconds. If it doesn't, do the above steps once more - I have never had it take more than two times, and the movie will play. Quality is pretty good too!

Nope, that was one of the disappointing factor. However since it has hdmi, I would get a cheap android hdmi stick or just get the google chrome cast and you are set for Netflix and more. I use a Android tablet with hdmi and watch movies over the network via nas or xbmc.

Yes. However, as a whole, my Sony Blu-Rays work very well when I stream video thru Netflix, Amazon & Hulu. I had constant loading & authentication issues with Netflix with my Samsung.

Well, it doesn't have a direct button to Netflix; however it has an internet connection button. Once u press the internet button, your Samsung app screen comes up which includes a Netflix app. U can select Netflix and voila!

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. No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap.

Quick Question: I have a wireless router, currently use the Netflix Roku box as wireless, router is another room..Netflix connection all works fine..does this mean this Samsung 2500 blu ray player is NOT wireless for Netflix?? Thanks-

Yes, we have been able to stream from netflix but have not tried other sources. I believe it will as long as you have access.

I don't believe so. If there is, I've not found it. There's no browser so you're locked to the services set. Netflix, YouTube and Pandora. There used to be a Blockbuster service and I kept expecting Samsung to update my machine with a replacement like Amazon Streaming but that's never happened and considering this models age, I doubt Samsung is doing anything. I don't think they consider it part of the package they sold me.

Yes you can but the software is so slow its not even worth it. It takes about 4min to connect to netflix and thats with a broadband connection running at 18mbs. I really only use it to watch 3d blu rays cause I can adjust the depth of the picture(which I am unable to do on my newer lg 3d blu ray player).if you really just want a device to stream on thats cheap I would suggest the matricom gbox midnight it comes without instructions but there are a ton of youtube videos on how to load addons to learn from. I actually ditched my cable after buying one and get 3 times more programs without comercials for a third what I was paying for cable. I think its well worth looking in to but thats just me.

I just got a S2110 yesterday and am very impressed with it. I don't use Netflix but the Google Play Store has it for download and the Store says that the S2110 is compatible with Netflix.

The LG BH9230BW has excellent streaming, the Netflix has no sync issues whatsoever. I am very happy with this system.

Samsung and Amazon work fine on other models, but not this one. Tons of chatter on the net with this. I just went several rounds with Amazon, and they claimed that the hardware (ie processor) won't work with their service. Personally, I find it baloney. , Other models of Samsung before and after work just fine. And other software such as Netflix work without issue. Their answer was to buy a Roku. Personally, I'd skip Prime and stay with Netflix. I'd think long and hard about buying Samsung again too. They both really pissed me off. So sorry.

I just got a PS3 and the streaming Netflix feature is only by way of inserting a Disc provided from Netflix which uses BD live to stream the content (from what I've read). It may be specific to the PS3, but it would be worth it to pop that disc into the Sony S560 and see if it can do it the same way. This disc is free from Netflix to customers by requesting one at www.netflix.com/PS3Someone try it out and post back here. If it works, I would consider getting this unit for the bedroom.

No it can't stream Netflix by itself, however you can use a roku, apple tv, etc to do that.

The TV itself does not have Netflix built in, but you can still watch it if you connect a device with Netflix on it.
