“Razer Forge TV has Google Cast built-in so you can cast your favorite entertainment from your mobile device to your TV.”<\/h2>\n

–Razer makes it sound good, until you don’t see the obvious missing tile … no Netflix, none, and not good ways of using it. []<\/p>\n

Favorite entertainment, except for Netflix. Can’t have it native nor cast it properly. I can cast my entire screen on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet, Netflix plays on my Forge TV connected to my 50″ Plasma, but it is not the same form factor as the TV, so not very compelling, not very awesome looking.<\/p>\n

My phone, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ can’t cast Netflix to the TV, same\u00a0Razer Forge TV. I can download Chromecast app on my Samsung and cast my phone screen, and then Netflix fills the ENTIRE\u00a0TV screen, but the moving picture isn’t there, subtitle on a black screen, touch the device playback pull it along, you’ll see thumbnail pictures of the movie\/show on the TV, but then hit play again, back to full black.<\/p>\n

Forge TV and Vudu, I CAN Cast VUDU no problem. Neither Vudu nor Netflix will run natively though. <– That is not the case on other major devices. So Forge TV isn’t major, at least it does have YouTube and Google Play apps, Disney Anywhere, you can download so many other video providers, but not the major two that I use. Figures.<\/p>\n

This is the beautiful photo I took with my tablet when trying to Cast Netflix, same screen happens from my phone too.<\/p>\n

\"Netflix<\/a>
Netflix won’t run Cast from any device.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is nothing new. I know Forge TV has been out for awhile. Thing about it though, they only recently re-released it, that’s what I have. It’s about time Netflix is usable on it. Native or Cast. No need to “CAST WHOLE SCREEN” junk.<\/p>\n

Netflix runs on my PS4, PS3, Phone, Tablet, even Wii, Wii U, good casts to any of my simple Chromecast dongles, my other Android TV’s (Sony 2015) have native Netflix including a button on the remote.<\/p>\n

So is it money that keeps Netflix from Razer’s Forge TV? It can’t be hardware only, I mean there’s a solution, or a reason why. It’s just time for this to break. Oh of course, uh, Netflix works on my PS Vita and 3DS too. Hmph. But not on PS TV … there’s something going around. Not freedom, that’s for sure. So I have two nice little devices, and no way of putting Netflix on the big screen with them. Forge TV is my best, as PS TV doesn’t do video exept for PlayStation stuff. My stuff is in UV, Vudu\/Disney\/Google. Why did I get a Forge TV then? It was value priced, but\u00a0value just isn’t truly value these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
