DLNA Ethernet Port Speed Does anyone knows the speed (Mbps) of the Ethernet Port in the (Samsung LCD TV) Series 7 and Series 8 models?

I do not know the speed, but you would think its 100 Mbit/s because that's what Ethernet is capable of.Anyway, when I watch movies using DLNA, I have not had any hiccups or slowdown whatsoever. But of course I watch movies that are that big in file sizes.

HI thereI am comparing 6 series vs the 7 series and I see that 7 series has the DLNA, I am not a techie guy, but wanted to know, exactly how you can view internet on the TV, is it by connecting TV to a computer with a cord?The other question is can I play my CDs in a computer and watch it on this TV, without attachsing any wire?ThanksSharath

It doesn't let you view internet. That is not what it's for. It is like the Apple TV, it's a media server. Whatever video files you have (.avi), you can watch what is saved on your computer from the TV. That goes for music and pictures. You can't play CDs, it can't control your CD player. But if yourip your CD to mp3s, then you can play those mp3s.

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?

Can't help with the model but it seems these DLP TVs are pretty generic across the Samsung line and they also seem to share the same faults. The bulb housing in mine fused to the ballast cable (melted) and I broke the cable terminal in removing the bulb housing. Thus the $65 ballast had to be replaced because you can't get the $20 cable separately and so I did replace both the bulb/housing and the ballast. These TVs run too hot for Samsung's little muffin fans. I now have an external fan plugged into the cable box blowing into the TV. This extra air flow has cured an intermittent audio issue. Google 'Samsung DLP TV crackling' and you will learn about the audio problem. Maybe it will show up in your TV.

I looked at both the UN46B7000 and the UN46B8000 and to me the 240mhz is noticably smoother during action scenes. The 8500 is the best LCD picture I have seen but not worth 2X the price of the 8000 series. I got my UN46B8000 during a previous promotion that ended on 11/7/09 for $1889. The Link-Stick makes WiFi internet acess a snap.

NOT SURE, Robert . . . I was on Century Link with a Westell model and the 600N really 'blows-it-away', SIMPLY WITH A MUCH NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SPEED. I use mine 'hard-wired' with my iMac and MagicJack using 2 of the 4 Ethernet ports. Now, "ASSUMING" that ATT and basically ALL 'PROVIDERS' use the products that 'win' their 'bid' at the LOWEST cost, (like NASA), I have to "ASSUME" it may be of the same, LOW PERFORMANCE as what I originally had. I used theirs for the FREE, one-year period, and got this IMMEDIATELY afterward. But, unlike NASA, selecting the LOW-BID / MEETING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS products isn't gonna "KILL" anyone! I am glad / happy with my choice, NOT being a 'techie' or 'geek'. - Jay NOT SURE, Robert . . .

Unfortunately that model isn't wi-fi so the only form of internet is the ethernet cable. blue-ray.com has the specifications on your model.

I have given my ZOOM away last year, but it worked great with a USB modem (used in Kenya). I'm pretty sure there is an ethernet port, but it's been a year.

Go to http://www.samsung.com/global/experience/ices2008/index.jspThe new 6 and 7 series TV info is all there. At $2799 for the LNT5271 you're better off waiting for these IMO.

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.

hi, if the tv specifies ethernet--yes it will work fine. I use 5e cable (and one 6 somewhere) they work fine.

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!

The Ethernet port is Gigabit speed. A lot of it depends on the drives you buy and what type of Raid you use (If you use it). I bought Western Digital 2GB Red drives, the ones designed for NAS systems. I am using Synology's Hybrid Raid. I don't remember the exact numbers, but when copying my personal files from my computer, I was getting about 110MB transfer rates. That's almost 900Mb/s. It is the first time I ever ever come close to approaching the Gigabit capabilities of my network. Even if what was being reported wasn't 100% accurate, let's just say it was really fast.

yes gigabit Ethernet port. you can check at acer web site http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model-datasheet/NX.M49AA.030

sorry , I purchased this for a friend. I think he is running xp and an icom 765. much faster than former serial cable. sorry I can't help you with 7 0r 8 I will be facing soon as my new computer is win 8 and so far I don't like it.

Just out of curiosity what do you consider to be high response times? I use this with my 360 all the times and have not really noticed anything out of the ordinary. The thing I really don't like about this LCD is the overscan issue, which is noticeable with games. Do you have that with your DLP?

I forgot to add that the tv must be connected to Ethernet in order to use DLNA

The manual agrees. It's listed there as Fast Ethernet (100Mb/S) for RJ45 wired Ethernet links.

Old post, I know, but I thought I would point this out to anyone reading this in the future. It's important to note that 10/100 Ethernet is 100 Mbps (Megabits per second), which is NOT the same as MB/s (Megabytes per second). That boils down to 10/100 Ethernet being slower than USB 2.0. 1 MB = 1024 kB, 1 kB = 1024 bytes, 1 byte = 8 bits Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) can be faster than USB 2.0 but it is hard to actually get gigabit, you need a computer that can handle it at that speed, a router that can, the NAS itself, and the cables themselves matter. 5 MB/s is still slow for 10/100 though, that's about 42 Mbps.
