hornedbronco@ thanks for being patient and helping me out man!!!

I tried plugging in a ethernet cable directly from my TV to the Verizon Fios router and still while playing the 1080p 3dSBS mkv file I saw that it was trying to load the file meaning the blue line on the bottom of the player was filling up but at a very slow pace. I paused the video and it started loading slowly. This is not the solution as then I would have to let the entire movies load before I could play it so that it smooth.

Also, is there a way to connect the iphone or ipad to the tv. I mean I saw something as wifi screen sharing, but how to enable this on the iphone or ipad?

I tried out these settings, i did notice the picture feels much more real. Thanks!

Sure.

If I connect my laptop to TV directly via HDMI why would I need a router? Please read the posts carefully 'n please loose the hate

I noticed that the best way to view large file movies is via the USB ports. It is very fast and has instantaneous loading ... no buffer issues.

I check my HDDs and I have one formatted as FAT32 (w/ 4GB file size limitation) and another as NTFS (I access it on Mac via NTFS-3G plugin and it has no 4GB limitation ). My 3rd HDD which is formatted as MAC OS Journaled is not recognized by the tv; and the bad part is that this HDD has the most data I need to be read ... I need to find extra space to dump these files and reformat the hdd. As you said this reformatting to NTFS needs to be done on a PC; I'm not sure if there is a app for mac which does that.

The wifi screen sharing can be done if your laptop has an intel i3 processor and up which support WiDi (Wireless Display tech). I dont remember reading about ipad/iphone screen sharing on LG tv's ... I'd guess you need AirPlay for that to work.

wow dude, way to be a dick yourself

1st, i know this is the thread for the lm6700 thats why i posted here im thinking of getting that one and wanted input from ppl that own it, also i read that some have had both and im looking for input from those ppl as well. A guy on the lw6500 thread posted a similar question and he owned the vizio M3D650SV and was thinking about sending it back and asked about the lw6500. Well being that i own the 65" M3D650SV 3Dtv and the lw6500 so i was able to help him i didnt call him a dick for asking a legit question on the lw6500 thread and he owned a vizio. I just wanted some input from ppl that know both tvs or just have something good to say about there lm6700.

Thanks, I guess I don't have any options for playing those large files through medialink (plex).

Just making sure about the Ethernet connection. So the PMS is on my Macbook and I should be connecting the Ethernet wire from the TV to the router? How would this help/ sorry for the ignorance.

Yes I did this hack last weekend ... It works pretty well. I tried with Gears of War3 .... I was still able to see a ghost image of the second player .... it's not too evident though ...

I have to report that media link is not very reliable. Some time it will play I have only been able to play upto 720p files no 1080p though.

But I have also noticed at times with the PMS running it would still not play any movie. Just a error message saying cannot play the file.

I tried Serviio (DNLA) that is also a hit or a miss. still can't play 1080p files.

Will have to try a new hard drive with NTFS formatting, still trying to find out how I can format it to NTFS.

You don't know how to format it to NTFS ? You're kidding right ? either that or you never had anything else but iPad :-)

Just plug it into a Windows machine (Win 2000 or later) , go to Control Panel then Administrative Tools then Computer Management then Disk management.

Just right click on the disk yo get a menu, you might have to create a partition first then format it after that.

Or give it to a PC guy and ask him to do it for you.

I know how to format a HDD, however formatting NTFS on a MAC for read/write capability is not that simple, there are other programs that you need to install first.

So I am trying to figure that out and how to do it using a MAC and not a PC.

Tonight I went to a movie so I brought home a couple of Real 3D glasses and switched out the lenses to try Dual Play. It was easy and worked just like everyone else says.

I was hoping enabling Dual Play would do something other than just enabling side by side 3D, but it doesn't. In essence it just stretches out the half of the screen to create a full screen for each player. Oh well. It is still better than only using half a split screen. Also, I noticed that is exactly the same s

All these edge lit LCDs have some amount of clouding or back light bleeding, for these LGs its always the upper left corner and lower right corner, i tried two 6700 and a 5700 (costco) and they all have the problem, good thing i cant watch TV in a dark environment.

I know that they all have clouding issues. I owned a couple of them but my 7600 is way too bad here is a picture. At sometimes it looks yellowish.

dude that is horrible. my 6700 looks nothing like that, but i always watch in low to no light in my room. i've never actually stared at an all black screen either. i know that there is some light leakage as with most leds that i have seen, but on my 6700 its not to the point where it effects movies.

Bought the 55LM7600 online @ Sears Mobile for $1844 (after tax). Now Amazon has the 55LM6700 for $1499 (final price). Does anyone have comments to whether the $350 premium is worth it for the 7600? This is my first expensive tv purchase and I want a good investment. I appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Yes it's bad. My LG has minimal flashlighting. I do notice some banding and DSE but it's no big deal and much better than the 4 Sammy panels it replaced.

I have found that there is a good amount of glare on the 6700. Specially at night when I am watching only black scenes.

Is there a way to reduce this by doing any kind of picture settings.

Considering this model, but I've seen some indications that some functions may not be accessible through a universal remote (i.e. Harmony) since the "Magic" remote uses RF (and/or bluetooth?) for some(/all?) functions. I've read through the earlier comments in the thread, but didn't see any definitive answer. Can someone who owns the set and a Harmony remote comment on what functions can and cannot be set up on a Harmony remote for controlling the LM6700? It might fail the wife approval factor if I can't get the Harmony configured to support the critical system functions...

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone who owns the set comment on whether the black plastic pieces on the bottom of the back can be removed for a very shallow wall mount application? And if so, does one lose the ability to use internal speakers?

Thanks...

not sure if there is a setting that will reduce glare. i thnk it will come down to placement of the tv.

im coming from a plasma, so the glare doesnt bother me too much, but i also placed the tv in a position where glare is minimal. i dont watch tv too much, just mainly movies, but i watch them in low light or no light at all. i did watch the laker game yesterday and glare wasn't a big problem for me.

Well, we have a white coffee table and in darker scenes that is very visible. In the daytime however, good amount of light coming from the window does not cause any glare/reflection.
