Whilst Netflix is great for watching on a computer, smartphone or tablet; nothing compares to being able to relax in your favourite chair and watch Netflix on your main TV. In order to help you do this, below are 4 ways to watch Netflix on your TV.


1. Connect to your PC


If you don't want to spend a lot of money on additional equipment then the best method of getting Netflix to play on your TV is by connecting to your computer.


The first thing you need to do is check the available inputs on both your television and your computer. Ideally you'd be able to connect via a HDMI cable to get the best picture quality but it's also possible to connect using VGA and DVI. You'll then need to get the appropriate adapter to connect your computer to your television.


Once your computer and TV are connected you should then restart them both. Ensure that Windows recognises your TV as a device and then simply select the input on your TV as the input for your computer and you're ready to go!


2. Purchase a SMART TV


A very simple way to get Netflix on your TV is to purchase a SMART TV. SMART TVs come with a wi fi connection, which means you can download the Netflix app stream directly. Of course, SMART TVs are a much more expensive option than connecting to your PC but if you're in the market for a new TV then purchasing a SMART TV is the best bet if you want to avoid the hassle of needing extra connections.


3. Use a games console


If you have a games console such as a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, then you can download the Netflix app and watch directly on your TV. This is a very convenient way to get Netflix and requires no extra equipment for it to work. The only thing to be aware of is that you need enough space on the console hard drive to install the app, but this usually isn't an issue.


4. Use a TV streaming box


The final way to get Netflix on your TV is to use a streaming box. There are many of these available on the market and they vary in price quite a bit. If you don't want to spend the money on a new SMART TV, then getting a streaming box is a great choice.


One of the most popular types of streaming boxes currently on the market is Amazon Fire TV. You can get it either as a box, or a USB-style stick, depending on your preference. Once you have it set up, you'll then have access to Netflix in addition to a wide selection of other apps, including games.
