The Apps are built in. You just need to connect it to your internet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, this unit has WiFi. No, you do not need a cord for internet apps installed on the TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The terms, ("streaming", "casting" or "mirroring") are used incorrectly most of the time!. "Streaming" is when you are watching, listening, or playing whatever media of your choice (Netflix, YouTube etc...) over an internet connection...that would either be hardwired or in most cases, over Wi-Fi on your "smartphone" or tablet etc.... But if you wanted to then watch that media from the said device on your "Smart TV"...you would then be "casting " that media to your TV! A "Smart TV" simply has applications already loaded or downloaded within the software of the TV. Which can run alone (or without any other device), only if you have an internet connection (Wi-Fi, Lan or hardwired) hooked or running to that "Smart TV". So, each device can "stream" within itself. So, the correct usage of the term "Streaming" can not be done from one device to another. The correct terminology in this case that you speak is either "casting", mirroring", "sharing" or "Directly connecting". Just an FYI., for when you are asking or needing information from someone with this knowledge or in this field of work ( I.T. for ex.) ...it will make it easier for that person to understand what you are asking...therefore, better information in return! So you dont need another device unless you are running an app that the TV does not support.
