Netflix has finally launched a significant refresh of its app for televisions – the first major update since 2018. Gone is the side menu, which looked like a relic of the past. Instead, we get a new, clearer layout with a top navigation bar and a section called "My Netflix," which is designed to function as your own command centre. The whole thing looks like a blend of convenience and modernity, exactly what has been lacking for many years.
Recommendations that think like Us
The new interface not only looks better — it thinks better too. Netflix is introducing "responsive recommendations" that analyse what you watch, when you do it, and what interests you. Yes, even the fact that you search for horrors at night will matter. It all works like an intelligent algorithm with a human touch. Browsing no longer resembles endless scrolling, making the search for films and series more accurate and dynamic.
Sport, Games and Live Streams, or Add-Ons on Top!
Netflix has long made no secret of its desire to be more than just a library of films and series. The new layout will aim to showcase other Netflix "add-ons" – live sports broadcasts, cloud gaming, and everything that aims to surprise users. “We want Netflix to be flexible, intuitive and responsive to users’ needs,” said Eunice Kim, head of product at the company. And indeed – it seems that with the new interface, they will be able to harness the potential of such add-ons.
And if you want to see it in all its glory...
...there's no mercy – you need to have the right screen. If you really want to feel how the new Netflix shines in full light, it's worth reaching for top-tier televisions. We particularly recommend the new LG OLED G4, which not only support wireless connections but also offer brightness at a level that changes the way you view HDR.
