Official Samsung LNxxA750 Owners Thread - Page 9

I had asked about this early on to see if TVersity would work better with some oddball vid formats I have.
He mentioned in that post that all the vid files said "unsupported" whren he tried to play them. So I don't think TVersity will work out of the box.
From reading on their site, you need to do a little playing with some XML to get it to work correctly.
My 750 should be here Tuesday and I will look into this then as my main concern with DLNA is to play all the different vid files I have without having to buy a better HTPC to play them dvi to hdmi style..
Anybody out there with some good XML experience wanna take a crack at this?

edit: Look here for some info on getting TVersity to work http://tversity.com/support/devices

You cannot adjust the settings in "game mode" but you can in other modes. "game mode" eliminates any input lag in video gaming.

XML is very easy, there really is nothing to it.

I have asked earlier if anyone have tried using Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) built in DLNA server but got zero response.

If the TV works with TVersity the it means that the TV should work with WMP11. If it does, you'll find that it is easier to work with WMP11 than TVersity.

Hopefully someone will be kind enough to test to see if this works and verify.

I'm very new to a lot of this tech stuff, so forgive me if my questions seem a little pedestrian to some of you. I think I'm going to shell out the money for this TV in a couple of weeks. Amazon keeps bringing the price lower and lower. Anyway, I'm a bit unsure about DLNA, and any limitations it might have. Can someone tell me if it's compatible with Macs (iMacs and the most recent MacBook Pros, to be exact), and if you can use DLNA and the Mac to stream Hulu content onto the television?

I appreciate the help. I'm looking forward to getting the television and then stressing for another few weeks about speakers. Maybe I should just go back to reading books.

Only partial confirmation, because I don't have my 750 yet, but according to a samsung rep I talked to last week, everything that plays over DLNA will play on the wiselink pro (USB port), and vice versa. Reportedly, Xvid is supported at the same resolutions as Divx.

FYI, if you are most interested in USB video access, and the 750 ends up not doing what you want, I've had very good luck using the USB port on the OPPO 980H upconverting DVD player. It even allows (reportedly) hooking up a FAT32 USB hard drive.

I was wondering if any of you guys think this will work.

I got my 52A650 at BB a while back, had various price matches done so far. But i noticed the price has dropped yet again, and i have a 12% off coupon. Now the price it's at now is more than i paid, but if i use the coupon it will be about $200 or so less than i paid now. Do you think i can go in there and have them return the tv, rebuy at the price it is now, and use the coupon? I am going to try anyways, just wanted to see if you guys think it would work.

P.S. Sorry, i meant to post this in the 650 thread (since thats the tv i have).

as long as its within the 30 days. They would rather give you the 12% off than have you return the whole TV...

Haven't heard this problem yet, I think the six series had some problems with 1080p over component but I not sure on that.

I got a hold of the 750 manual and it does support.xvid/divx video using USB but doesn't support AC3 with Xvid (only PCM/ADPCM). That kind of hurts. I think people are going to watch movies with no audio quite a bit when loading up Xvid/Divx with the 750s.

AC3 is supported for mpeg and H.264 codecs though which is nice.

I'm looking for the convenience of putting a TV show on the USB drive and watching it on the 750 with no hassle. The DNLA solution is a semi hassle as it has to scan your folders first so if you download something new, it has to rescan before it's available for viewing while something like SMB servers let you search through folders yourself and find the media files to play.

I can always use the PS3 to play thumbdrive xvid/divx videos I supposed. That works well.

I'm also trying to justify the 750 over the 650 for my own sake and having a hard time doing it. The DNLA is limiting, lack of AC3 support for Divx/Xvid kind of defeats the purpose of that feature, the built in 1GB of "content" isn't deletable and not really interesting to me. (it would be great if you could use that internal 1GB flash memory for storing your own media files.)

That leaves the subwoofer and halo of the 750 vs what seems so far like a higher chance of purple haze on the 650s. Tough call!

Third 750, this one has horrible clouding and mura on dark backgrounds (I know its normal but it just sucks) also when I cut lets say a game on the black backround gets pillars on the side. Im just going to keep this one and hope for a firmware update for the pillaring (spelling)

I wouldn't accept any clouding that I can see when there is a source playing.

Exchange it as it will only start to grate on you over time ....

I wouldn't hold my breath for a firmware to fix all that. And if you wait pass your 30-day returnable window, then you will stuck with it.

Here are some pics of for those who like to look at pics.

Im just tired of returning sets, the pillaring is like the backlight just goes up to 10 the resets itself after the display starts on a different screen. It's weird but i can deal with it.

EDIT: I am a dolt, replied to a question from p1. Ignore this post!

I guess if you can live and happy with it, then probably a good idea to keep it because you never know what trouble you would get into with the new set.

Well I have to ask. What makes this set better to you then your 650?

Bezel, amoung a few other things it just looks better IMO.

So Lestat, are you saying that you have TBE & Vapors but not stutter? And this is with AMP on medium?

If so,we can cross stutter of the list of potential 750 issues. I think you are the only one who had reported it.
Does low amp clear up the TBE/Vapors?

Thanks for all your feedback....

It doesn't appear that Lestat knows what stutter is so I'd probably cross it off the list of issues.

I have two questions; if anyone could answer them I'd be very grateful. Right now I'm deciding between the new Sammy 650/750, or the new Panasonic 800u plasma.

First, I've just heard that the Panasonic 800u doesn't support 1080p gaming except through an HDMI port. I have a Xbox 360, but I'm not sure if I got one of the newer versions of the Premium model (not Elite) that has an HDMI port; I will check this later. Can anyone tell me if the Sammy 650s or 750s support non-HDMI 1080p gaming (through the regular component cable)?

Second, I've heard complaints about the "halo" effect of the clear trim surrounding the TV. For some reason, I can't watch TVs in a completely dark room, I need to have some light. Is the halo issue most prominent in watching the TV when dark, or is it more of an issue when you have other light sources?

Thanks guys. I'm new to this forum, and amazed by all the commentary. It's been very helpful.

I know what stutter is , and no I dont have it, just miss used the word a little.

Still have Vapos and TBE on low AMP not quite as bad but still there. Have had 3 750 all have it.

Spoke with Samsung Level 2 support:

1. The 750 is full-time 120hz. With AMP off, it repeats frames (5:5 for a 24P input).
2. The response time is 4ms, same as the 650
3. The processing is 10 bit

With regard to this last point, he told me "you gotta be careful what you read on the AVS Forums!"

Nice, but where all pretty smart here on the good ol AVS forums, there is just a couple of us who dont know the difference between stutter and TBE

Thanks, I'll stop worrying about stutter!

Darthsphinx, what size is your set? Over in the 650 thread, they determined that there was only a fan in the 40", and that the default service menu settings had it disabled.

Did somebody get say youtube videos on A750 using DLNA? If yes, can you post a step-by-step procedure? Thanks

Danny

So can anyone comment on the motion blur of the 750 vs the 71?
