Full HD LED TV with Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Which?

Question

WiFi

Tell me, please, TV: Full HD, LED backlight, diagonal 45-50, wi-fi or ethernet is very desirable.
Naturally, you want the best value for money.
Also interested in how to drive a signal to it via Wi-Fi or Ethernet with Mac OS X Lion (with HDMI, everything is clear).
Thank you.

Answer 1

I have Samsung UE46C7000. An excellent model in everything except for flashes (changed the panel 2 times under warranty - it didn’t help). It seems that this is a "feature" of LED technology (without the prefix "Full-") on a relatively large diagonal. It doesn’t really interfere with watching movies, but it plunges you into despondency when you remember how much money was given for this device. DLNA over Ethernet works fine if it's a properly configured Mediatomb (I can send you the config). For Windows, a convenient and free DLNA server, alas, was never found. The native Samsung utility did not start at all, however, I did not show perseverance in this matter.

Answer 2

I will advise what I know well: LG 32lv3700, cheap and cheerful - everything you need to eat.
It is rich in capabilities, so I don’t mention documented, briefly undocumented features: it reads from USB drives not only from those file systems that are described in the documentation, but also supports an indefinite number of other file systems (it has Linux inside). Once I tried to give out DVR functionality when a freshly bought 1TB usb hard drive was inserted into it, but I came to my senses in time and hid it (officially, plasma models have DVR-Ready).
What it can't do: it doesn't read mpeg-ts from disk or dnla - only streaming, and doesn't show MotionJpeg. WiFi-adapter is bought separately, and not anyhow, and even occupies the only USB input (in principle, some usb-hubs work). Everything else is supported.

Hmm ... Stupid image from the desktop? Of course, you can write or find an application that will capture an image from the desktop and stream it as a video.
Well, as for just watching video from a computer over the network, there is a Plex application for this TV , not to mention DNLA support (but there is a drawback here - sometimes after turning it on it does not find the DNLA server, but if it reconnects, then everything becomes normal) . Of course all this

Answer 3

I have Samsung UE32D6100. Ethernet is available, wi-fi module is sold separately. Works through Samsung's AllShare, but it's not native to Mac. People say third party DLNA servers might work, but it's best to find out beforehand ( forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=745430&page=3 ). If 3D is not needed, then a younger model is also possible, they are also quite good.

1920 × 1080 × 32 (bits) × 25 (frames) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 1.5 gigabits per second + sound. By wifi or ethernet, no way.
You need any good TV and ASUS O!Play .
