This TV has ConnectShare support, but what video formats can it handle(mpg, mp4, mkv, H.264, avi)? are there any it doesn't support?

I haven't used this feature so cannot comment on the supported video formats I'm afraid. Sorry. I use the TV with my Verizon fios and a bluray player.

The 3DPlayer currently supports the following file formats. Video: wmv, avi, mpg, mpeg, mp4, 3gp, mkv, rmvb, rm and flv. Photo: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, and bmp . Newest version of VMP supports MPO and a registered user can upgrade directly from VMP. Once VMP is launched go to "About" and tap on "update". Notes on SmartCard and USB In addition to SDHC cards (32GB max, 4GB max file size), it reads SDXC (&gt;32GB, no file size limit) and exFAT/NTFS formatted cards, e.g. with Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro-SD card (exFAT), and 2GB card formatted with NTFS. Works well for large videos from Bluray-3D. NOTE: Very large 3D movie files placed in the card root may cause a crash so place them in a folder. They will however work either way in 2D. The USB port reads 128GB USB Flash pen using an adapter. I don't know about avchd but the player is continually being updated.

Video format it support: MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (VOB/ISO), MPEG-4 (DivX /Xvid), DivX HD, Xvid HD, AVI, MOV, MKV, RMVB, AVC HD, H.264, WMV9, VC-1, M2TS, TS/TP/M2T big question is why do you pick thi model over WD live streaming WDBHG70000NBK? WD live with build in wifi and it will play every video format you can think off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ix9f_aJt0

Yes it does run latest codecs and container formats but I have seen my (completely stock) freeze and had to be power cycled after and oddly encoded avi which I never found out what The actual video format was. Anyways I use it daily to play videos from all over and it runs great. Works exceptionally well with a plex server and Vimu or just the plex app. Vimu is better for local content in my opinion while plex app is great for ice films and 1 channel like xbmc which I don't believe runs on this box yet.

Just a note that MKV is no longer supported. You should get a WD TV Live or use Plex Media Server. I think WD TV Live is much better this generation. Last generation, the support wasn't much more than a really outdated Netflix client. It now supports Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, CinemaNow, Blockbuster, Spotify, FaceBook, Pandora and more. Sure you lose Amazon, but CinemaNow and Blockbuster are good compensation along with the fact that it will basically play all of your videos files.

It plays DIVX, AVI, ISO's and all old platform HD Discs I have tried. Although I'm not sure which codec/platform you are specifically asking about. For the money, it is a good deal...I bought one and immediately bought a second for my other room. It plays MKV's also but only works through the USB port for those.

I do not own this tv but the product spec PDF on Amazon shows it to be DLNA compliant so you should be able to stream from a DLNA source on the network. Can anyone who owns this confirm?Update: I bought this TV and it DOES have DLNA networking capabilities. Worked very well streaming from a 2TB media server.

Umm i am answering my own question after researching the issue in the hope that it would help others who might have the same question. Good news folks - this device works with playon (http://www.playon.tv/playon) as also with Tvarsity. So basically you can either use your hard disk shares directly to stream media, or use a DLNA compliant server like playon or tvarsity to stream media as well as youtube, hulu, netflix etc - sweet. The patriot user forum even has postings to help you configure playon or tvarsity.

I tested this with the HDMI connection. The owners manual, available publicly on the Philips site, indicates that the choice of upscaling format is available only on an HDMI connection, so I did not bother trying with component video. It seems component video supports only 480i/480p, or 576p to a PAL TV. The manual also indicates support for HDMI connections to DVI devices that support HDCP; I don't have such a device so I have not verified this. I hope shortly to have a 1080p TV to verify its behavior there.Thanks for the question. Although I saw it mentioned in a review or another forum question that upscaling was available only on HDMI, I realised after I wrote earlier that I should have included this detail.

Roku 2 XS most certainly does support MKV and MP4. The down side is that there's currently a bug (or oversight) that makes it display all your videos in date order instead of alphabetical order.

According to the manual, the TV supports up to SXGA which is 1280x1024. But I haven't tried it yet.

The device supports MPG4 format with H264 codec, I have not tested X264 (it must be a new codec just released and I'm not sure about that). However, COBY MP957 supports many different file formats and codecs. The screen size of the device is 5" (measured diagonally). It is a high density TFT screen that produces high picture detail. You will not experience visible loss of picture quality for this size of the screen. The color scheme and brightness are nicely balanced to produce movie theater-like experience. The device will play HD formats with frame resolution of 1920X1080 pixels. The processor will handle it easily. I tested video files with data transfer rate of 6000 mbps. You can also connect COBY MP957 via HDMI interface to a HDTV and play full HD resolution video on your TV without deterioration of picture quality (referenced to the quality of your video file).

I downloaded it and I could not get it to play either. I have a Samsung UHD TV and I also tried putting the clip on the 4K movie disc pack that I received with the TV. It also would not play on that hard disk through the USB port. However, it will play on my computer. I do have another Youtube mp4 clip that plays through the disk pack in 4k. I moved that clip to the KdLinks and it came back as unsupported format also. So, I agree that the KdLinks will not play 4k video without some kind of an upgrade.

No. It only supports Netflix, CinemaNow, and depending on whether you're referring to NS-WBRDVD or NS-WBRDVD2 or NS-WBRDVD3 it might do Hulu or Vudu.
