TCP50V10 versus Samsung PN50B850: Any input ?

A lot of the new (2009) samsungs have buzzing issues. I tried two pn50b650's and they both buzzed. They also had faint horizontal white lines that were cleary visible when watching a dark movie. If you choose Samsung be sure to buy it from someone that you are able to return it to.

It is an issue with the 210. I have the same problem with 25 Mbps service. Vudu is fine though.

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!

i am using a samsung HD cable box from time warner and it is working fine - not sure about other models that they may have.

I just got delivery on my PN50B860 and no buzzing. My guess is that given all the negative publicity that it is fixed. No problems and the flat panel is awesome! Try contacting Samsung technical service to confirm as they should be able to inform you if the issue has been resolved.

This item nor does the slightly cheaper and smaller model operate at Gigabit speeds (1,000 Mb/s). However, unless your WAN and LAN connections operate at this speed you won't see much of a difference. For that operational functionality you will have to purchase the TP-LINK TL-ER5120 model. It is currently available on Amazon.com, it is however a bit more expensive then the R480T+ model.

Thanks for the info. I had actually tried Samsung's website, and even called them, but they were unable to provide a picture. I believe there was a diagram. Perpendicular connections right in the middle is definitely not what I want - that would look terrible. Thanks so much for your help. I will keep looking.

You can add the Samsung linkstick USB adapter for wifi, but I've seen it for $50 to $80.Today with the latest firmware 1032 I tried my cheap $15 tenda W522U USB wifi adapter I have for my rasbery pi and it worked. The tenda W522U adapter is a 2.4/5Ghz adapter but only runs on the 2.4Ghz with this blu ray player, I guess they don't have the 5Ghz drivers in the firmware. But it does connect on wireless A/B/G and N so it steams my ripped DVDs from my NAS good.

I understand from reading the comments on other Samsung products that it is advisableto update the firmware over the Internet, I just ordered a Samsung 3D Plasma and the Pioneer 1020; based on your comment I will hold off on this Blue Ray player! It sounds like HDMI has some issues...

I've got one on a windows 8.1 system and I can see and access either the 2.4 or 5.0 bandwidths without any problems. Maybe its an issue that is discussed on the Linksys and/or Apple support websites.

Chyna, Yes, the Toslink (digital optical cable) port is present on the PN51F5300. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I did not find a resolution, unfortunately. I couldn't even definitively find out what the problem was - only speculation. My best guess from online research was HDCP compatibility. But if your 8500 doesn't work and my 9800 did (which neither should even support HDCP), then I guess that theory is out the window.Not long after my original post, I sent the tv back and got the Samsung LN-T3253H. No problems out of it.I know that doesn't really help, but that was my only real solution to the problem.

I purchased two of those about a year ago to replace old PC's that were used in my digital signage project sending PowerPoint slide show to the 52" LCD screens via VGA-to-CAT5-to-VGA converters. I connected N300's directly to the LCD VGA ports and sent Ppt show to them via ethernet from a Win 7 PC though can't remember whether it was a 32 or a 64 bit. What I recall is that making it work wasn't as straigt forward as they described in their ads and instructions. When I finally got them to work after spending some time on a phone with NComputing tech support, I realized that it wasn't exactly a fully automated distribution of the slideshow file to the client devices I hoped for. My goal was to avoid manual shutdown/restart of a Ppt presentation as it was done with the individual PCs. However, the new setup still required some action on the client devices in addition to updating a Ppt file on a server. However, my main issue was jittery video sent by N300's; slide transitions were rough, jerky and with black breaks, much worse than what I was getting with the individual PC. Once again I contacted tech support, they had me try different configuration parameters but nothing could correct a problem. Finally after nearly a month worth of attempts NComputing admitted that N300 might not be a suitable solution for my application and I had them returned to Amazon.

Thanks arrowhead, That's what I thought-from the few posts I could find -I already ordered a TRENDnet 10/100, 8 port switch, as I now need more ports to connect a new BD player by wire for updating its firmware. The 25 Mbps when streaming was mentioned in a few reviews of the switch. Thanks for confirming.

Judy, I think you have the LN40B530 model, and this model doesn't have LinkStick compatibility. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Thanks for your posting, I purchased LN46B640 as well, I am wondering what I need to do to watch internet content like youtube on this TV?

I am hoping this will be better - I currently have the TP-Link 4800 and it will lose connectivity frequently for no reason even though I get ~3bars of reception. (Yes, I've gone through every hoop i could find to fix the TP-LINK - no power saving, no extra software, update drivers, removed/reinstalled, removed and recreated network profiles and more)
