Will the TV stream media (i.e. music, photos, videos, etc...) from other DLNA-compliant devices wirelessly? Thanks much for responses.

I have no idea what a DLNA device is. We watch videos and music from Hulu, You Tube, Netflix etc. using our high speed wireless internet connection. Sorry I can't be more informative as I just got the TV a Christmas time and am still learning how to use it.

I don't have a clue - the smart TV is much more advanced than this "challenged' senior citizen. Sorry.

Allan, Thanks for the input. Could you clarify which TV you bought?Did you try utilizing the DLNA to connect to a PC and play movies off the PC?What are your views on the quality of the TV's picture/sound/color...etc?

yes we can interact with TV via mobile devices...i have been doing this on my TV.. there are various ways..1. DLNA .. if your TV and your DLNa compatible device are in the same WIFI network you can stream your videos/photos/songs from your mobile to TV.2. There are apps in android market which allow you to dual view your TV on your mobile device.. for the above 2 options you would not require any cable.3. you can connect your mobile device with the MHL cable and your screen will be displayed on TV.and all this works only when u have a android phone...i have samsung galaxy s3 and UN46ES7500 TV,. and i am able to do all of the above options yes we can interact with TV via mobile devices...i have been doing this on my TV.. there are various ways..1.

If the NAS (Network-attached-storage) is DLNA-compliant, it should be accessible by the Sony player. If it is NOT DLNA-compliant, it is still possible, but not as assured. Also note that some DLNA equipment is certified for only photos and music (cannot guarantee the bandwidth of videos).

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.

Yes this is possible. I have connected my hard drive to wd router and is able to play the movies from my sony blu ray player and logitech revue. This is not certified dlna but it supports upnp which is the actual protocal behind DLNA. Please also remember that the files will play only if your tv/player supports the codecs

The device itself has a UPnP DLNA Media Server. If the ROKU has a client for that then you're good to go.

Not sure about that. All my devices (PCs, phones, tablets) see this NAS as a DLNA server. I don't know if the Roku can do that.

Yes. Although with my wireless N network playback is glitchy/stuttery 30 feet away. It's best to hook up an external HD to it (you can then share the HD over your network to transfer or watch movies wirelessly from your computer). This gives me perfect playback of the few ISO that I have (just started to convert my small collection), one of which is 40GB.

If I am playing any video on my PC .... I just do a screen to screen ( whatever is viewing on my PC will be showed on TV ... my Samasung Galaxy, my Laptop .... anything.... or you must change the device to DLNA I believe and it will stream just about anything !!

Yes, it does support DLNA. It can play from any UPnP server on your network, such as Windows Media Player.

I have this player, and yes, it does support DLNA.. I am able to stream videos from my computer to the unit over my home network easily. I also have a hdhomerun, but I have not tried linking to that device w/ the kdlinks, so can't help you there...

Yes, you can stream your network via this device. Just setup apprpriate share on your computer. I use it to watch Internet based TV. It is Android based device and it will do whatever your phone or tablet does. With a small exception I can use same apps.

yes but have to make sure your using the latest windows media player that supports dlna and have a router that supports dlna (this is the key to making it work).... you can also you air play as well... the remote that comes with it will not give the user a much visual control... you will not know what the device is actually doing.... i would download the sony app "media remote".... thats the easiest control method

We have not tried to wirelessly stream content from a laptop with our 42LB5800. After I set it up, I watched football and other broadcast media. I'm away from home right now, so I cannot answer your question. The TV is mega wirelessly capable AND there is at least one HDMI port on it. I assume the possibility for wireless streamin IS there. I will be home next Tuesday. I will look at the owner's manual then for you...

"The DLNA stuff is just extra bells and whistles"That is certainly not true. DLNA allows you to stream movies/music/photos directly to the TV without an external media extender/player. It's not a "fluff" feature at all. This is exactly what many people, including myself, are looking for. I'm actually trying to find out if the Z-series does support video for sure. The Samsung A750 does, but lacks FFW and RRW.

No this doesn't have DLNA functionality. It does support netflix, amazon video, crackle and hulu plus. The S280 on the other hand does do DLNA
