If you don't have a smart TV at home and still want to watch Netflix and any other movie on the Internet or from your computer, phone, or tablet on the big screen, here are some simple and inexpensive solutions that will help you fix it right away.
The first and easiest way is to buy an HDMI cable and connect your gadget to the TV.
There are all kinds of adapters that convert video from a computer to a TV, and in the case of phones and tablets, you'll find cables with a dedicated HDMI output jack. The price of such a cable is between 10 and 40 lei.
Another fairly cheap solution is to buy a Chromecast. Store Chromecast 1, 2, and 3 (Ultra) are available in stores. The first generation is sold at prices between 100 and 160 lei, the second between 220 and 280 lei, and the third costs over 500 lei,
The difference between them is that the 2nd and 3rd generations also work on WiFi 5 Ghz (AC), so if you have more gadgets connected to your home WiFi router, it will help you have a better signal.
In addition, Chromecast Ultra allows you to watch 4K quality streaming if you have a compatible TV.
But for Netflix, the first generation of Chromecast is enough. All you have to do is connect the dongle to the TV, to an HDMI jack, and from the Netflix application on your phone, tablet, or computer, send the signal to your Chromecast. Learn how to connect Chromecast 1 from the GadgetReport.ro tutorial below.
A video tutorial on Chromecast 2 can be seen in the video below.
You will certainly find other gadgets on the market that turn your TV into a smart TV, such as Android consoles, but the cheapest and best solution is to use a Chromecast.
The vast majority of Netflix productions have Romanian subtitles.
To turn on subtitles, go to movie settings, subtitles, and select English. If it doesn't show you subtitles, rewatch the movie you want to watch.
The monthly subscription to Netflix starts at 7.99 euros, the basic one, and goes up to 11.99 euros, the premium version. We recommend the 9.99 euro one, because it offers HD quality productions on two different devices, so you can play movies and series on a laptop and a TV or a phone at the same time.
The 7.99 euro one offers access to only one device, in SD quality, while for 11.99 euro you can watch Netflix productions simultaneously on four devices, and some of them you will see in 4K quality!
You can pay by card or paypal directly on Netflix.com. All transactions are secure, so you have nothing to fear. You can enable automatic subscription so that Netflix takes its own subscription money each month.
