What to consider with a TV mainly for MC DLNA playback?
Jong:
FFW/REW on the Samsung seems to work very well (transcoding to MPEG2 720p) using left and right arrow keys. See individual frames a few seconds apart, rather than actual speeded up video, but that was to be expected. Only comment would be it is at a fixed, fairly slow speed. Maybe MC should speed up the seek after a few seconds, but I don't know if this is possible within the dnla framework. I'll ask Matt elsewhere.

MrHaugen, I wonder if you have made a choice and how you're getting along with the new TV.
I may be looking at a similar thing for the bedroom.
Thanks.
MrHaugen:
I've not decided yet. But I believe it will be a smaller Samsung model with smart hub or what it's called. If that's even possible on the smaller models...

I use my Panasonic 65 inch "smart" plasma with built-in DLNA and it handles anything I throw at it. Videos, mostly Mpeg 2 & 4, slide shows, mostly JPEG and audio, mostly MP3. These are fed to the tv via a wireless router. The main thing to look for is DLNA compliant which itself is a bit ify in how each tv handles the so-called specification. I have three DLNA capable tvs scattered about the house and while each work, each also handles the files slightly different, but all three sets play the files. In fact I use MC, Windows and WD TV (the little box from Western Digital) each presenting the files a bit differently, so in effect I have 3 DLNA servers to select from.
