Sorry, streaming from a browser on a Linux PC is limited to 540x860 due to an inability to establish an HDCP chain. Have you tried using the TV's native Netflix app instead?
Oops my hand slipped and I accidentally torrented all my favorite shows!
Ohhh no! The horror!
This is what piracy is for.
There is non-smart TVs with a Netflix app installed?
I was reinforcing your point about using a monitor and a Linux PC not being able to replace all the things a smart TV can do. You said streaming would work, but regular TV channels wouldn't, and I pointed out that even streaming would be limited as the major streaming services don't allow full quality via a browser, especially on Linux where HDCP can't work.
