Does anyone know why my GT50's WiFi streaming (Netflix, YouTube) is so "stuttery?" I have a fast "N" network otherwise.

has to be either the modem or the router, my guess is the modem. my gt50 streams absolutely perfect.

This happens in high traffic times when people in your area are at home streaming vids and bogging the isp ability to access the net for you. I also think some cable companies are throttling streaming services to make the experience less attractive to its user's. Thats just my opinion not based on fact. I would also make sure nobody else in the house is streaming or playing online game's before I watch a streaming movie. Good luck.

I have the same problem even though I used the 5 GHz band. I ended up using a wireless bridge for all of my entertainment center components. Now I have no problems!

Tv's just aren't made to run like computers. However, I use mine and I don't have any issues with its performance. It's runs just like I expected a tv should.

In my experience wi-fi for gaming or streaming is generally more stuttery. I use an ethernet connection to avoid that.

If your router is capable of both 2.4/5GHz use the 5GHz, it tends to be more stable.

I really don't know. I had some issues so I ran an ethernet line, and Netflix works great.My house has a lot of concrete in it and it seems to prohibit the WIFI from being effective.

There are lots of factors that can cause your problem. the most common is the Tv's distance to your router. the weaker the WiFi signal is the less actual speed you get. What is the Speed of your connection. and how strong is the WiFi to the TV

Streaming from where? That has more to do with bandwidth. However, if you mean the screen resolution, I have no complaints.

My connection is not SUPER fast, it claims to be 15 MB/sec but it's always lower than that. It depends on the connection of who watches it. Like from my phone it interrupts sometimes. I noticed that the camera disconnects sometimes depending on where you install it. Keep it away from interference (microwaves, wireless phones etc.)

Get a better internet connection and use a Ethernet wired connection to go on-line (no WiFi). Had the exact same issues until I discovered that my standard Time Warner standard internet connection was barely able to keep up with the HD bandwidth requirement and my WiFi signal was only average due to the router being on the other end of the house. This resulted in many frequent video breakups and rebuffering episodes, which was annoying to say the least and discouraged watching online content. Broke down and pulled CAT6 cabling throughout the house, and upgraded Time Warner to Turbo level to get close to 20Mbs vs. the standard 10Mbps. A one time pain, but it makes all the difference in the world. Will never go back to using WiFi again except for basic web surfing on the laptop. Also, using the right router can make or break the difference. I got rid of my Time Warner provided WiFi integrated router to a dedicated Cisco small business router. Huge difference, and can now run gigabit, which far exceeds the requirement of what my Samsung TV & BluRay requires.

Thank you for your inquiry. Due to one core processor it's not able to watch streaming videos such as Youtube or Netflix etc.

Netflix streaming video quality has more to do with your internet connection than your router. If your internet connection is too slow for Netflix to stream at it's highest quality than the image may look poor. Either way I would not recommend streaming video through wireless. If it is your only option than you may want to install higher gain antennas on either end to help connectivity.

I found a solution. First I tried every channel, no luck, terrible internet throughput. This was on 802.11b/g, which is on the same band (2.4GHz). My solution was to config my home router to 802.11a (5GHz). Now that wifi and this monitor are on totally different bands, they don't interfere and internet performance is good again. Home router is a Netscreen SSG5, which is a power-user (or Enterprise) class "branch-office" router.

i bought my 570 a week ago - and it took four attempts - but did finally get this initial upgrade to happen. it took mine ~30 to 40 minutes between the download and install portions, but that may just be a function of a slow wireless connection i have (5mps). Once installed though, it fixed the Netflix issues and added DivXTV as a netcast channel.

Have you guys tried changing the wireless channel? I was having this problem where I was getting poor signal and random disconnects on my MacBook pro when my router was set on channel 11. Ever since I changed I was able to connect and browse w/o disconnects. None of my other devices had this problem though...

Its the same as the 3G experience on a smart phone, which if you are used to 4G feels slow. But its really only noticeable when trying to stream video.

I have not used it streaming from computer , but used my iPod,iPhone no lag, also have used Netfix with no problem

quick enough. my p55gt50 uses a page turning effect. when you call up a new channel the page turns immediately. i am not hooked up to cable so this is soley controlled by the gt50. all of the tv responses are quick, even the internet. it is significantly faster than the panasonic top of the line 2005 plasma i replaced, if that helps. don't let the price fool you as to upper or lower end. it is top of the line. go see it in action and take it for a test drive. while watching it in over the air hd we are constantly exclaiming, "what a television!!!!!" ha ha

It's probably because of your internet connection....try connecting your TV to your modem/router with an ethernet cable OR if that isn't an option, try going in to the Hulu settings and changing the speed of the video. On my blu-ray player I have to change Hulu to SD instead of HD to get shows to not stutter. It's a hulu problem, hulu hasn't figured out how to stream flawlessly like netflix does.

Hi Karl - I had the same experience but attributed it to my wireless router being on another floor. The stream rate was not enough to enjoy Netflix. When I connected the TV via the ethernet cable the problem disappeared. It could be an issue with the wireless router having insufficient connectivity at times. My other HDTV is not smart and connects thru a bluRay player with WIFI and sometimes its data rate is not good enough. Not a definitive answer I know but I hope this helps.

The wifi card is on the weak side. This is pretty much inherent tothe series. I've had mine for a year now, and it seems that after a few hours the signal is wobbly. I usually switch the wifi off for a few seconds then turn it back on; that seems to work a while but some days are better than others. I'm going to get one of those USB wifi dongles and see if that works.

I have found lower quality resolution with Netflix streaming wirelessly than I get with Amazon using the same speed and config. I have a BluRay player attached that has wireless that I plan to try to see if it is better but I don't think it is the connection since I can stream HD from Amazon and get a totally crisp picture. I have a 10mb connection. UPDATE:As mentioned above I did try streaming Netflix through my Sony BluRay to see if the connection was better. It may have been very marginally better, but did not solve the recurring pixelation problem. In my case at 10mb it may be partially a speed problem. I plan to upgrade to 60 or 90 in the next few weeks and will post another update after that as well.

Stuff like flash (youtube) is very processor (cpu) dependent; I recently put this in an old machine which had an old intel core 2 duo e4700 and it was fine. So compare that with your own setup.It did seem like it was stuttering if anything else was running. It might be worth it to put another 10 dollars into the video card, but if all your going to be doing is running youtube video it's fine. (Although seriously consider bumping up slightly.)
