TCP50g10 versus ln52b750: Can anyone help me decide between these two awesome sets?

Increase the backlight of the plasma if you want to compare them at similar levels of brightness. Consider what you will be watching (b750 handles standard definition DVD's and programing better), is sharper, and can be brighter for well lit rooms whereas the plasma will have more natural flow of high speed motion, better blacks when your lights are down, and "picture quality". Really, I find that "picture quality" is "signal quality" of the program you are watching and how well your machine can display it. LCD's have less blurring than before, plasmas have less burn in and ghosting, and to be dead honest with you- most of us are not videophiles and will not see the difference. I bought the b750 on sale and its very good and playing high definition and standard definition. I am particularly happy with it because most things I watch are NOT blue ray and the TV does an overall good job handling that media. It also looks nice which is a plus. Best of luck...

Go with Netgear, it's approved for all those providers and easy to set up. Also neither Linksys or Cisco have anything to do with the modem, last 3 years manufactured by Belkon.

The description is wrong, the TZ105 only has (5) 10/100 ports. There are no 10/100/1000 ports on this appliance. This is largely not a problem on most residential or small business applications with ISP for 50MB or below, but if you are looking to do higher speeds (like above 50MB) or have VPN/SSLVPN, encryption, or are going to add security services like packet inspection/IPS, content filtering, etc, you will see the performance of this unit degrade significantly. For a residential or small home office implementation, this is a great little box but if you need higher bandwidth or are tacking on security services or encryption, you need a unit with more horsepower.

I got the N450 and it works great on Comcast Internet. It has more ethernet ports and I can hook more streaming devices

Thanks, for the help but one more question...I have done some tests and the highest throughput I got was 12mbps/4.5mbps with a cheap pair of Asoka Pluglink 9650's...Would I see a better improvement, or is this product not worth the money?

Coconut, I'm facing the same decision. Have you learned anything yet that you could share?I'm leaning toward the smaller printer just because it seems less cumbersome, but I'd be happy to put up with the larger bulk of the 5370 if I thought it was better in some significant way. Would love to hear any info about differences in quality or reliability.

No the 750GL is 10/100/1000 and the the 750 is 10/100 and both have a basic firewall capabilities.

Check out the differences between the 1513 and the 1512 and consider if they are worth the extra $100 to you or not. Me personally, I always try to get the latest model when it's not a bank breaker. To be honest though, 2GB of RAM and 4 ethernet ports are not that much of an upgrade. I purchased the additional 1GB of RAM for my 1512 to bump it up to 2GB, think I picked it up here on Amazon for around $30. I highly recommend getting the extra memory for the 1512 if you go that route.

I looked up the LN52A750 on Samsung's website. There's a specifications brochure linked from that page that confirms that the LN52A750 is DLNA certified.

Almost the same thing. The GL model is gigabit on each port versus 10/100 in the non-GL. Also more RAM and higher CPU speed if I recall correctly. There are other smaller differences as well, but these are the too areas that I usually utilize the GL model over the non-GL model for.

I'd strongly recommend a 2.4/5Ghz dual band router if you're looking to be future proof, most crowded areas have dozens of 2.4Ghz Access Points now, and if you can get a 5Ghz device or adapter, you experience a lot less interference (drops, slowed connections, lower signal strength, etc).Linksys E3200 does this and has a USB port for sharing files and a 4port gigabit ethernet switch if you use a wired connection for any computers. The E2500 has the same wireless capabilities with 100MB ethernet and no USB port for cheaper.Hopefully this helps anyone who might be trying to make this decision.

I have both the 7000 and 8000. I find 8000 quicker on gaming (wired connection). The 8000 is also likely to have more updates gping forward like QOS (like the X4) to be released in Nov. Both are good routers and you shouldn't be disappointed. Good luck.

10/100 if your looking for gigabit local lan use a gigabit router in tandem

The hardware is more than capable. However the GUI front end was quite different than off the shelf routers. Many advanced functions were as of a couple of months ago only available from the command line. I've got one running at home for basic NAT, and saturate my a 25 Mb/s cable connection with torrents and it has no issue with that. However a high end Buffalo with DD-WRT , even if you turn off the radios would be my first choice. Unless you are going to use the POE for ubiquity WiFi.

No, sorry. I'm so happy with the performance so far that I haven't yet entertained the idea. I'd stick with Cisco-Linksys. My brother got the E-1200 a couple of months ago and he's happy.

I can't respond because I'm not that technical. However, when specifications are important....I will data mine info from Manufacturer Web-site to confirm comparability! I've been COMPLETELY SATISFIED with the NETGEAR product I have in place.

I am now in the same boat as the original poster. I ordered a Samsung LN52A650 that will arrive Monday. Hoping the DLNA will allow access to my Western Digital NAS, but not sure. Since it's back to work next week I'm not sure how soon I'll get to try the DLNA features. First priority wil be to get the TV set up and working for the BCS game Thursday. Go Gators!
