Yep, that's why you've got to ask to bypass the phone operators reading scripts and get to a real tech. "Escalate the issue."

yes just follow that instructions and you will be alright.

Do you guys know if that specific RCA universal remote is needed? I know it's only 5 bucks less, but can you just spring for the two or six device remote instead? I don't think any local stores have the 8 device remote in stock.

Here is a list of RCA (and other) remotes known to work. You can't just buy any and have it work...

powercreep ---

as in the yellow white red wires (composite) or the upgraded ones that have more colors (components)?

I did not try either of them. The only thing I did was used the composite cable to reset the DVR box because it wouldnt recognize that the hdmi was connected, and then unplugged that once the hdmi was in)

That is a really good idea to try. However, my return window just closed so i sent the tv back. Once I get the next one I will have to try that.
Is there a quality difference from components vs hdmi or is it just hdmi is one cable.

Have any of you ever tried the software Serviio? A friend of mine just told me about it, and it works really well with smart share. I can run it in the background of my computer and stream high quality avi, mp4, and mkv files to my tv without my computer even breaking a sweat. It also has a hulu plugin you can install that lets you brows Hulu rss feeds from your smart share app. I recently cut back to only internet/netflix, and the hulu feature of this software is really helping me out.

Only works for lg cam.
post #1633 of 3596
Which Logitech camera are you trying to use? Logitech's TV Cam HD (model V-R0002) should work with most any CEC hdtv via the HDTV's HDMI input. This would include the LM7600.

I am interested in this tv and have been tracking the price. I noticed on Amazon today the following message appears for the 55"

Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.


not sure if that is common or what is up.

They are sending out a tech at no charge to my house on Wednesday. I think the problem with YouTube and 3D apps stopping, freezing, restarting, etc. is because my TV drops the wireless connection with my router. Sometimes YouTube will stop playing a video and go to a blank, black screen. When I check Network Status it shows it's not connected to the network. I will reconnect it to the network, try YouTube again and it will work for a while, then do the same freeze and stop symptoms. I also try VuDu and I get error messages Failed to Connect to Network, time out error." Meanwhile I've got a PS3 sitting right next to the TV that always stays connected to the router. Laptop computers operated near the TV work fine. I get good wireless signal on WiFi Analyzer App on my Android phone when placed near the TV. So hopefully the tech can tell me why the TV keeps dropping the network.

I will ask him to manually update my software. I'm going to ask if there is anything can be done about my mild case of flashlighting. Also, should I ask the tech to switch on Dolby audio out? Any other issues I should bring up? Maybe beg for a calibration?

post #1637 of 3596
I don't know, but if they address your flashlighting, please let us know. If I could eliminate the flashlighting I have, I would be 100% satisfied with this tv.

Guys,

I am planning to buy this TV but was wondering how bad is the reflection from the glossy stand the TV sits on ? [Can u guys post pic of stand coz everywhere here the stores aint having stand just wall mount for demo & also can u ppl confirm this model LM7600 comes with silver or grey stand]

Also, Samsung ES7000/8000 seems brighter than LG even after adjusting settings (Atleast at the store where i had demo)... have you ppl noticed similar things when you guys had compared this TV with other brands mentioned?

Thanks.

For those interested, the 7600 works perfectly with the Android Youtube app. That app It allows some TV's to receive whatever you are watching on Youtube on the android device, to be seen on the TV too. For some reason some videos when using the TV app are not allowed to be seen. But using the Android Youtube app any video can be seen on the TV. And to me it easier to navigate from my Android phone around Youtube than from the TV app. What I also like is no other programs, or even turning on or off any other feature is needed. (Such as Blutooth or any setting on the TV) It's all done between the Android Youtube App and the LG YouTube App.

Another feature I didn't even know my TV had! I'll have to look for it. Does the phone communicate with the TV via bluetooth?

As posted there is no other program or feature to use or turn on. Just go to the Youtube app on the TV and pick pairing, and go to the Youtube app on the Android and go to menu then "Add Youtube TV"
I had trouble getting to stream cleanly on my friend's Samsung but eventually it did, but on the LG it has worked everytime.

Thanks


post #1646 of 3596
There is a new software update out at the moment. 4.12.23. I am currently downloading it in the background while watching TV. I have no idea what it has to offer.

I would return it. That is excessive especially with your current settings.

Update. Only difference I notice so far is that there is an added option in the support area for LG to remotely connect to your TV for tech support.
post #1650 of 3596
Software version 04.20.04 downloaded this morning.

I do not see any setting menu differences, so far I don't think any performance differences but too soon to tell. I do think I see a smart app that was not there before, "Rhapsody." Either that or it has a new tile. I already had the feature to let LG remotely connect several updates ago.
