When I bought this, I thought it was ready for wifi but it's not. I'm thinking I need to purchase an airport card (extra $30). I can't get an answer on this. Sorry, not sure I helped.

I don't normally watch sports on this machine. I use it as my desktop monitor because I can plug a laptop in thru the HDMI port and use both machines. Having said that, I hooked up and external HD antenna and watched the Bears lose tonight. Although I occasionally lost the screen due to thunderstorms bollixing reception, I did not notice any blurring. I then went to ESPN through my desktop and watched some of their videos. Voila, occasionally the screen blurs. I don't know whether I need a faster internet speed or whether the box is at fault. I suspect internet due to it working OK over the air. Hope this helps.

Yep. Got everything with mine. It appeared actually to be brand new. I would not hesitate to buy from these guys again. Awesome too. I've since added the wireless adapter for it. Very sweet. As far as a driver issue I didn't run into a single issue. I was running OSX, Mountain Lion and have since upgraded to OSX Mavericks.

Nope, it comes WiFi ready. As long as you have wireless capabilities at your house, you're good to go.

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 computer will go as fast as your router will allow, I never had good luck with wireless speeds when playing online games. I always have the best results when I am plugged in, that has no bearing on the computer though, its mostly the wireless fault from the router.

i tried the wireless Iogear with a movie on a memory stick and it wont give enough bandwith to have a smooth playing on my laptop, so i guess it wont work !, but maybe under the apps that you plan to use it for it gonna be ok !

Unfortunately the unit will not run games, and it is not wifi capable. This unit is good for loading pictures and MP3's, it's video capability is very limited. The low cost caught my attention, but in the end you get what you pay for.

Have it. Def only internet is wireless. I don't think you'll see wireless HDMI anytime soon, Mary, sorry....hadn't heard about that, and haven't heard of wireless HDMI, period.. If someone tries to sell you a TV with wireless HDMI, maybe stay away. unless I missed a very important memo, anyone else feel free to correct me!... That said, The wireless I think if or she was talking about the internet capabilities. You can hook it up with a cable or it does have a very fast internal wireless router too. I use the wireless and its easy, very quick, depending on your internet speed, and super convenient, so I have more room for cables on my internet router. I have Att u-verse and so I asked them for I wireless router mainly because our computer and printer are upstairs, but both can use WiFi so I was going to plug everything in down stairs where the router is, but when I found out the TV had the fastest to date 802.11 WiFi, I just went to network options on my tv's guide, and just type in your password for your internet, just like you would for a computer, and good to go. It also will update firmware and programs on the TV automatically, which is good if they are fixing an existing issue or whatever. But no. There is no wireless HDMI in the near to further future... Sorry. TV is crazy awesome though!

Wired. On top of that, I would never advise buying a wireless stick. A few ms of input lag is enough to lose you the match or miss a confirm in a game.

Could I play games such as NBA 2K14 or even games that require a good video card with this laptop?

Yes, its still worth it, its still I awesome piece of hardware. I personally dont really use the game streaming feature a lot, but I love the attention it gets me in public. People are always like wow what are you playing on.

You can stream from many different apps including hula, you tube, crackle and many more. Remember this is wired not wireless so you will need a Ethernet cord from you internet modem to the player like the cords to your computer that you receive internet on. The price of 312 there showing right now has to be wrong, it goes from between 50 to 100 dollars

It is not wifi but you can put music, videos, and pictures from a laptop using a cable. Not sure about games because son didn't have any downloaded to transfer.

I'm sorry I can't help you here because I don't do gaming. It seems to stream videos just fine and is faster than my old one. Probably not much help, huh?
