Director of Product Management, Brady Gunderson, has revealed Netflix’s recommendations for TVs in 2018.
Gunderson said, “From surveying our members, we know that people buying a smart TV care most about price, picture quality, screen size, and ease of use,”
“While some of this is easy to research, it’s hard to know about things like device performance and ease of use. So, we want to shine a light on these important aspects.”
He said that when a "Netflix Recommended TV" logo can be seen, it means that that TV has passed tests to ensure it provides great performance and an easy access to Netflix.
The requirements for a Netflix recommended TV:
"TV Instant On": Your TV starts up instantly and apps are ready to use right away, just like your smartphone.
"Fast App Launch": The Netflix app always launches quickly, whether it’s right after turning on the TV or after using several other apps.
"Netflix Button": The Netflix button on the remote control powers on the TV as well as launches Netflix, so you can start your TV and get to Netflix with the press of a single button.
"Easy Netflix Icon Access": The Netflix app is easy to access and convenient to launch from the TV menu.
"TV Resume": Your TV remembers what you were doing and wakes to the same place as when it was turned off.
"High-res Netflix Interface": Browse Netflix in 1080p resolution – with crisper text and clearer images.
"Latest Netflix Version": Your TV comes with the latest version of Netflix with the newest features.
All the models designated also include a Netflix button on their remote control.
The first wave of 2018 Netflix Recommended TVs are:
LG 4K UHD TVs with webOS 4.0.
Sony W800F/WF800 series Android TVs.
