With web streaming services like Netflix gaining immense popularity in the past few years, our TVs have evolved with our viewing preferences.

Netflix has seven major criteria for their recommended TV list. The TV needs have the following features:

#1 Instant on
It needs to start up instantaneously (no lag allowed) and apps must appear ready to use right away, just like your smartphone.

#2 Fast app launch
The Netflix app needs to launch quickly always – whether it’s clicked right after turning on the TV or after using several other apps on the TV.

#3 Dedicated button
The TV’s remote control needs to have a dedicated Netflix button that launches Netflix. So you can start your TV and get to Netflix with the press of one button.

The Netflix app is easy to access and convenient to launch from the TV menu too.

#5 Resume immediately
The TV needs to remember what you were watching last. When it is turned on later, it should pick up where you left off.
