If you own a Sony TV from the HX, EX or W series, you will no longer be able to use the internal Netflix app after the end of February 2024. It will also affect Sony Blu-ray players.
Netflix is once again cleaning out apps. It has been confirmed to affect older Sony products, but other brands may also be impacted – Flatpanels is seeking details.
- "Netflix announced that after the end of February 2024, the Netflix app will no longer be supported on some 2011-2013 Sony TVs and Blu-ray Disc players due to technical limitations. You can continue to use the Netflix app until the end of February 2024. After this date, the Netflix service will be removed from the listed devices below," Sony announced.
Consider a streaming player
The change applies to Sony TV models in the HX, EX, and W series as well as the X9005 and S995. These are TV models from 2011, 2012 and 2013.
It also applies to Sony Blu-ray players over a wide range.

The last time Netflix phased out its app on older devices was in mid-October 2023, affecting Samsung Blu-ray players and Smart TVs from Sony, Panasonic, and Hitachi as well as the Sony PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV. In 2019, Netflix was purged from a large number of older devices.
FlatpanelsHD recommends purchasing a streaming box instead. They can be stored away, controlled with the TV's remote control, and offer a much better streaming experience, in addition to many other features. You can see which streaming devices Flatpanels recommends here.
