Internet: Can any Panasonic GT50 owners comment on this models Internet capabilities?

Not clear on your question, but the TV supports Netflix, Hulu, etc streaming content (i.e., it's not directly usable to web surf, if that was your query).

Ive had some issues with connecting this model to the internet, and i think other people have as well, "I'm not exactly sure if it even is WIFI capable." It only has a network cable port in the back. though i believe i did get the network cable to work. but when i downloaded Netflix, and went to go use Netflix it didn't work, so i just use my Ps3, Xbox, or blue-ray player, to stream stuff. sorry i cant answer your question, but i figured i would post you my the problems i have had. good luck.

I am in your same boat...trying to choose between a samsung pn58b650 vs. panasonic tc-54v10. Panasonic is 58" and now several hundred cheaper (with coupon code). I keep going back and forth...any help out there? Is panasonic better than samsung...as is generally stated? thanx in advance for any feedback.

I have not had any issues with internet connection either. Not sure what the one reviewer was referring to. But the drivers should be loaded from the factory.

Another provider? Doubtful. Technology keeps evolving. Garmin will soon be releasing models (I "think" one of their newer models already have this) that access the internet (with similar features as those on MSN, which is why Microsoft isn't going to support this after January of 2012).Check with either gpsreview.net or gpspassion.com for some info on this.

Yes, if you are paying for 50 megs, why are you only getting 6 megs. I think you should talk to your ISP first and find out if the problem is not with them. If you hardware is older, then this would be a good upgrade.

This card, like many others, is unlikely to be the bottleneck in on-line gaming. Most Internet connections are &lt; 25Mb/S and can be serviced well by 802.11g network cards (54Mb/S). This card's 450Mb/S capability would be more useful to those streaming high resolution video over a local network. Blu-ray video with HD audio can require over 100Mb/S bandwidth. If installing this in a laptop, make sure you understand it uses 3 antennae. If your current NIC uses 3 antennae, it is probably 150Mb/S or greater and you will see no improvement in on-line gaming unless your Internet connection is faster than this. If your current NIC uses fewer than 3 antennae, you will need to modify your case. If your existing NIC is not 5GHz capable you may need to replace the existing antennae with multiband/broadband ones to get good 5GHz performance. Make sure your wireless router is capable of simultaneous 2.5 and 5 GHz operation and at least 300Mb/S on each (these are the N450, N600, N900, etc. routers) or you will not get the rated speed.

Yes in a way!! I have a basic package from my ISP. Only 6 MG. When I use the N900 I use it on a dual band setting. Putting out both 2.4GHZ and the 5GHZ. Some of the newer devices samsung Gal II for example can pick up the 5GHZ signal and my laptop can get about 4 bars in Win8.1. I didn't expect that speed. But it is only when I am up close about 0 to 20 feet away. But if I go outside in the yard then I loose bars on the Laptop but the Samsung Gal III comes in as soon as I hit the driveway, about 40 feet away. So it really depends on the newnest of the devices you use. As far as the Game consoles it adequate but that is not the fault of the N900 but the basic speed package I have. Trust me when I say this, the N900 is a great choice for a medium size household with slow speed. I can not attest to high speed broadband yet.

I had one and I think it needed Internet however it wasn't what I expected . Bulky and not that easy to use . Good luck!&#128526;&#127797;

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

I wish I could give you a comprehensive answer, but I can't since I don't use the unit for gaming. The most I can say is that there's no blur or indication of unwanted motion in any of the broadcasts I have received, including the Indy 500, which may have presented a bit of a challenge in this respect. I hope you find that your Panasonic is as suitable for gaming as it is for standard usage. Good luck!

quite frankly, i don't remember. you can download the user's manual from the Panasonic website which will provide you with that information.

I do not use the system that works through this modem for gaming and thusly can't provide a solid answer. However, this modem certainly does not seem to act as a bottle neck with respect to intermittent video downloads and general internet use.

Thanks for the good info, 80'sGuy. You mentioned 24p cinematic playback on the 3D model. I read somewhere that the G25 will be a problem for movie buffs because it does not have the 24p cinematic playback. Is this true?

it has wireless capability, I have not it connected yet, but it is possible. I am not sure whether it is g/n or not.

In my opinion support for Skype will happen more likely through the modded custom ROMs, like Vegan and Cyanogen 7 adaptions, not looking for much joy from Viewsonic support.BTW, I LOVE my gTab. So much that I just bought one for son for birthday. Didn't plan to spend that much, but loved it enough to want to see others enjoy it too. Plus, his a-hole boss bought an iPad for another employee and wanted son to brandish his superior tab for less than half the cost!
