We're all already watching Netflix, but have you thought about taking your Netflix-watching to the next level? If you want your Netflix experience to be a little bit easier, faster, and better to enjoy, you might want to update the TV you're streaming on now.

You could browse hundreds of user reviews online to try and figure out the best TV to buy, or you can Netflix take Netflix's word for it and choose from their newly released list of the most Netflix-friendly TVs out there, so you can get straight to rewatching Friends for the 500th time, or bingeing Stranger Things 3 this summer.

It should be noted that these TVs aren't necessarily being recommended because of their picture and sound quality, but rather based on easy it is to use Netflix on them. Netflix judged the TVs by a few standards: TV instant on, fast Netflix app launch, a Netflix button on the remote, an easy to access Netflix icon on the screen, whether the Netflix app is always running and updating in the background, a high-res Netflix interface, and whether it comes with the latest version of Netflix. If a TV met five out of these seven criteria, it's on the list.

If you're looking to upgrade your TV game sooner rather than later and Netflix is an important factor, here are the models the streaming service recommends:

Sony

Bravia A9G/AG9, X95G/XG95, X85G/XG85

Samsung

Q60R/Q70R/Q80R/Q90R/Q900R series, RU8000, The Frame devices

Happy streaming!
