Well, it's finally happened: Netflix has gone global. Now it no longer matters where you live or travel; if you have an account, you can stream all your favorite movies and shows from your favorite devices. It's an exciting development for the company, which continues to revolutionize streaming services and original content. So why not celebrate by making the most of your Netflix account? Here are some great tips and hacks to enhance your viewing experience and help you enjoy everything Netflix has to offer.

Invest In Socks

You read that right--but I'm not talking about any ordinary footwear. Netflix has developed socks that will ensure you don't miss a minute in your binge-watching marathon, even if you doze off. How? These socks track your vitals and movement; if you fall asleep, your program will pause--so you never wake up disoriented and lost in where you are in Master of None.

Know Your Shortcuts


To be a true pro at binge-watching (it's more of an art than you might imagine), you should be well-versed in your Netflix shortcuts. These handy keyboard moves will make it faster and easier for you to maneuver through shows and series (and if you start practicing now, you'll be perfect by the time season two of Daredevil rolls around).

Use HD


Many Netflix subscriptions come with a high-definition option; the question is, are you actually using it? Make sure you're getting the best quality picture possible (after all, you're already paying for it) by checking under the Playback settings in your account. If your Data Usage isn't high, you're not getting the HD experience. That being said, HD takes up a lot of your data in a relatively short time, so don't use this option if you're not on wi-fi. If you're not careful, you could end up with a truly terrifying phone bill.

Embrace The Secret Menu

That's right, secret menus aren't just for restaurants anymore. If you're sick of Netflix buffering (or want to impress someone during a chill session), use this hack for a smoother viewer experience. Press Shift+Alt+Left Click (or if you're a Mac user, try Shift+Option+Click), and you'll reveal a hidden Netflix menu. This nifty trick will allow you to adjust your bandwith and dramatically cut down on buffering issues. For added viewing enjoyment, make sure your audio and visuals are syncing perfectly (nothing ruins a good movie like the dialogue lagging behind the action).

Find Your Perfect Extension

Don't get us wrong, Netflix is a wonderful service--possibly one of the best out there. But everything can be improved, and that includes Netflix. That's where Chrome comes in: their browser extension for the streaming service simply takes it to the next level. NEnhancer allows you to see the IMDB info and Rotten Tomatoes reviews for everything you've considered watching. Even better, you can enjoy trailers for all the movies offered on Netflix --all without ever leaving the site.
