I bought this to run OpenELEC and it seems to struggle if you have a very large video/music library or use a artistic focused skin. I think that it needs a but more but for Netflix in HD it should work, that application would be simple and not complex enough to bog it down.

it has StreamTV support which is basically like a linux computer with apps like Roku on board... Vudu, who is a Netflix competitor supports the apps... they are pretty good and include twitter facebook etc. Vudu is a no subscription, $2 rental service, which for most people makes it more expensive than Netflix, but it's very premium.... it has very wide support of hot cable series like californication True Blood etc (Amazon is almost as good and Netflix is way far behind on this)..... also Vudu doesn't have a 30 day restriction on new releases like Amazon and Netflix, so anything that comes out on DVD Blu ray is available the day of release.... also if it is available on bluray, then Vudu has itin 1080 which blows away Netflix and Amazon who selectively offer HD content... Netflix is cheap, but it's really not that great.... Amazon Prime is sorta free but is really lacking in HD.... Vudu is premium but will end up costing you if you watch a lot.... My bet is Mitsu will make it an open platform at some point and you will be able to get anything

No. Netflix & Vudu for online services. (Also, I may be wrong if Amazon prime will load movies into your Vudu account).

Netflix works better on the TV for me better than it does on any of my other devices. The picture is perfect and the load times are a lot better than my play station for example, depending on your network speed of course

Yes deo finitely. For movie streaming and recording games are perfect, I watched lots of netflix and played lots of online game. It worked like a charm.

From experience with it, I would not get it. It's very archaic and obsolete. The apps freeze a lot and the Netflix app doesn't function properly. You're better off getting either a Roku or a Blu-Ray player that has app functionality which most do that are wifi

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.

Yes, just keep in mind that you will not be able to access network services through the HDMI port, but it will play movies from your local drive just fine. File size doesn't matter. I play 4-6 gb full 1080p MKV files all the time. I highly recommend the MKV container (with H.264 encoding) as you can also use Dolby digital 5.1. It is one of the few formats that works well.

Hello, yes it is and it works extremely well. 4k netflix - great, especially as more shows come out. It was worth it.

I don't know about Netflix , didn't have it long enough to try it. But I did support adobe flash but it was really lagging and slow for me so I returned it.

As long as you don't expect this unit to do heavy transcoding on the fly, it's great. You can stream a 25GB blu-ray with DTS-MA as far as network and transfer speeds go. You just need something to transcode that for a display, like a mediacenter PC. I've seen mine crush low bitrate HD video down for cell phone viewing, and Standard Def it can handle on the fly, but anything serious will kill the CPU in it. The quality of the Syno based plex server app itself is top notch. I almost never have to restart the service to uncrash it.

Thanks for your feedback. One thing that occurs to me is that my Acer delivers what is needed to simply play back my Netflix Instantwatch with the original 1mb. I think I will keep it there. It's all I really use it for, with exception of occassional hotel stays to check email.

If you have an HDMI connection on your HDTV, yes it works great. I have Netflix and hooked up my Asus Zen tablet to stream movies without any problems. Also, if you use a wireless mouse and keyboard, you can surf the net using the TV as the monitor.

Sure , its almost overkill for movies use . Newer games will run but you will have to scale down the graphic settings . But for movies and videos its fine.

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.
