Netcast- my media: wanted to know when using my media, does the tv find things like videos and music from your computer wirelessly/ cable ?

If you have DLNA enabled on your windows 7 PC, and the wireless usb installed on the tv,... yes. You can push content

Yes. The drive works with TV, but will loose signal from file at random intervals while watching a video. This happened to me every time I tried watching a video.

No, it definitely won't be *exactly* as if it was plugged in. When plugged in, Windows is going to view it as a drive, assign it a drive letter, and allow you to copy files to it via copy/paste, drag/drop, etc. I haven't confirmed it, but I can all but guarantee it won't work that way when accessing it via WiFi from your PC. In fact, my guess is, you can view content, but not alter it via WiFi. again, I haven't tried, but that would be my guess. If I get a chance, I'll try and let you know.

No, only the internet connections from your hard drive. The previous response sounded about right. You need an external hard drive or drive C but that will work. I don't care that it doesn't access my entire Hard Drive because I only use the DVD player for the 55" Wide Screen RCA LED TV with all the bells and whistles. I've got a 27" wide screen ASUS Monitor connected to my laptop, and that's enough satisfaction for me. TV for me isn't meant to mess with my entire hard drive, just entertainment and with that, it's fantastic. Certified Life Coach

If your Pc is running windows 7 or later, Got to the control panel-&gt;network and sharing center-&gt;advanced sharing settings and look at media streaming. If it's off select choose media streaming options and turn on media streaming Wen you select sources on your TV you should now see your of Ale sure to add the folder you store your videos in to the library and you are good to ho

Sorry Mr. forrester, sadly the answer is no. It seems to have everything else. It does have componet and composite connections and a host of others but not and "S" video. Maybe there is an alternative way to connect. Im not a gamer so I cant help beyond that.

I can access it through my wireless Blu ray DVD player since it is hooked up to my computer as an external hardrive and can view home movies that I have on there. Not sure if that answers your question, but that is the only way I have used it with wireless.

Thank you Sayaseng, so if i have a video file, i can watch on this tv without connecting wires, right?so if my computer plays blu-ray discs, i can see the video on this tv, without a need for a dvd player, right?

There is.a Smart share feature on the LN5700 that offers the options of " connect mobile device; connect PC." I connected the PC wirelessly and was able to select files to view on the tv. List says photos, videos and music.

If your TV can reproduce video files, for example in mp4 format and implements the DLNA spec, you can send videos from your PC or laptop connected to the wireless network. You will need in your PC a SW that works as a Media Center. I don't know if there are Media Center SW that works with .iso files.

Ok this is how we used the cables. We had purchased a new TV (Sears), a sony blu ray w/built in WiFi (Amazon), and a 4 way HDMI switch w/wireless remote (Walmart) that were all connected to each other with the cables. Since we have a wireless router in the house for internet, we didn't have to do anything with the router or computer. This basically turns your TV into a big screen tablet. Dont know if this helps.

I know about all the various NetCast options on the LG42LD550. Once I've wirelessly connected it to my computer, though, is there anyway I can play .avi videos that are located on my computer (NOT the internet). I have a lot of .avi's that I'd like to play on my TV.Peg

Ok I just remembered that my tv came with a Bluetooth wireless attachment , the instructions tell you how to use it. It's a small black thing with Samsung written on it. I want to add a picture but can't see how. This tv does everything, including REAL internet.

Plug it into your router and you're all set. I had it set up as a media drive for the tv and all of my computers. It gets it's own ip so functions as an independent entity

I only have my TV, VCR and Comcast box attached to mine. (The wi-fi and cable router are plugged into the strip on the "always on" side.) [ Not sure this is enough help for you. ]
