I just purchased this and Netflix has both seasons of House of Cards and 3 other documentary items that are in 4k. According to their comments, they have more coming. As a side note, House of Cards looks amazing! The detail is awesome. You can even see wrinkles in clothes. Very detailed picture.

Netflix seemed to announce it was 4K stream to LG TV's first but assuming all 4K TV's would get a stream once it pilots sometime in 2014...

No it doesn't . But LG does offer an upgrade for it. And it runs about 500.00Dollars and must be installed by an LG TECH I recently had the upgrade done and is sensational now and it supports the HDCP so you can stream true 4k like house of cards on Netflix

It will easily support the the refresh rate on your TV, if your TV supports HDMI interface. You will need at least 9Mbps sustained on your WiFi to support a 1080p High Def streaming image. Your ISP may become your bottleneck, pending their actual speed delivered to you. (1.5Mb, 3.0Mb, 5.0Mb, 10Mb, 15Mb, etc)

Yes it will! My home is 1800sqft and I'm able to stream 1080p to my plasma with no problems, no flick, pixel, pause... nothing!It works flawlessly to all devices connected ranging from PC's to iPads to media players.

I don't use Netflix, but according to my research Netflix is still trying to bring 4K streaming to life. The reason is because 4K streaming takes double the bandwidth. Most consumers use only about half the bandwidth required for 4K streaming. I use 4K discs, such as Men In Black (4K version) to watch in 4K. Also, I have a Sony receiver that upscales to 4K (actually near 4K). I stream through it. I use Amazon Instant Video. According to some of the techno geeks, you have to check with your ISP to see if they have you connected up to a 15Mbps (minimum) service. Higher is better. Low streaming speeds will interfere with your 4K streaming; thus, you'll never achieve 4K delivery. Many ISP companies are trying to catch up to the demand. Therefore, check with your ISP to verify your connection speed. If it's too slow, you'll have to upgrade your service. Any 4K signal that goes into the HDMI port of your Sony TV will display as 4K. You have to make sure it's a 4K signal.

On it's own, this TV does not play Netflix. You need an external device like a PS3, Roku or Apple TV which has Netflix capabilities.

The 4k has a beautiful picture. I have been very happy with it. Recently Netflix announced some 4k streaming. i viewed some of the offerings and the differences from HD run from minor to significantly clearer almost 3D like. The 4k is pricey vs what is available on 1080 and the return on investment is not yet confirmed but given what i saw on Netflix it is promising.

The switch will support 100Mbit speeds, so HD streams will not be a problem and I use my switch to stream netflix at HD resolution

Yes as long as you have a device connected to this tv that is able to stream netflix. This tv is not a, "smart tv" it does not have an apps interface. Roku, firetv, apple tv or a smart dvd player would work perfectly on this tv.

No. It doesn't support. And Netflix doesn't work if you are out of USA. Don't buy it. IT SUX.

No problem getting Netflix. Works well. All and all, this is a great streamer, especially if you have a lot of content on your HD. It will play almost all formats, including a lot which other units don't. For me this was the main factor for purchasing.

NO!!!!! Needs HEVEC codec, which came out on 2014 models. This model does not have it! You can utilize the NetflixApp with your Blu-Ray machine or receiver and that might do the trick. Then, there is always the possibility that SHARP will come out with a Firmware upgrade, if this is technically possible. Again, if you own this Sharp 4K model, you can NOT stream in 4K!!!!!!!

This is not a SmartTV, just a simple but effective HDTV. You will need a Netflix ready device to use Netflix with this TV

No. It doesn't... yet. Could be software update to support it later. It does have Netflix.
