These are the best TVs to watch Netflix on, according to Netflix

Ever wondered what's the best television for your next Netflix binge-session? The streaming service has released its recommendations for the TV ranges that offer "better usability, faster performance and new features" and make Netflix (and presumably other internet TV services too) "as easy as getting to live TV".

The chosen televisions include LG's 2017 range of 4K UHD TVs with WebOS 3.5, Samsung's 7, 8, 9, and Q-series Smart TVs and Sony's Android TVs.
