Would be able to use Netflix/Pandora on 7200? Hi everyone,after some research, looking into purchasing 7200, my 1st Home Theater. Like the looks of the Tallboys over 6200. I am technically not well versed but couldn't find the above features in the description. I vote for sound quality over features, but would like to have those like mainstream Samsung/LGs possess. Also planning to buy a Panasonic plasma TV, if it is relevant. Thanks everyone. Would be able to use Netflix/Pandora on 7200?

not sure what you are asking here.if you mean could you use a streaming box from those services or a HTPC, jack it into the reciever and be golden, then 100% yesdoes it hook into the internet and stream those services itself, then no

I was considering these as well. Interested to see what others post. Here is my research has yielded for 7.1 systems with Dolby True HD and DTS HD audio. A lot of people worry about upscaling, I only have blu ray player, so not much need for upscaling. Few do upscaling very well according to my research. Sony STR-DN1000: Nice HDMI connectivity, cleaner look, 100 watts per channel at 1% THD. I've heard upconversion is poor. $330 Sony STR-DH800: Does not upconvert analog sources. 100 watts per channel at 1% THD $250 Onkyo RC-160: Upconverts only to 1080i. 80 watts per channel at .08% THD $330 Onkyo SR-607: Upconverts to 1080p with okay quality, 90 watts at .08% THD $400 Pioneer VSX-919AH-K: .05% THD at 120 watts per channel, just 3 HDMI inputs, no upscaling capability $400 I realize these are Audio/Video Receivers, but it seems to me the main goal of most of them is for superior audio. After all, many TVs do a decent job making SD sources look better, even if you have to run an additional cable or two. To me, everything is going to be HDMI based, so I am leaning toward the Pioneer due to better power and less THD. $400 is very much on the high side of my budget. So if I decide to go with a cheaper receiver, I'll probably go with the Sony STR-DH800.

To clarify, I called Vizio because I didn't get a premium set of glasses or the two sided remote. I also don't have as many connections on the back of my TV. They told me I had apparently gotten an older model. I could return it and try again, but I don't know if it is worth the hassle. I am curious about the apps. I saw one review that said theirs didn't have YouTube but mine does, also Skype. I don't have Pandora though. I am wondering what else I am missing.

I know I am going to get blasted for this. I personally think that as far as Blu-Ray standalones that this player is the best option available. That being said investing over $400 in one of these when you don't have an HDMI V1.3 display (1080p/24p) is just plain insane as you are spending a whole bunch of extra money with technology that you won't use until you upgrade your set/projector. I would go with a Toshiba A3 which has 720p/1080i capabilities and costs a whopping $118.49 shipped. If nothing else the price difference is significant enough that you could make use of it until the prices on things like the panasonic or the better HDTV sets comes down to the point where it is more affordable.

I think everyone interested in this should contact Amazon. At the moment, the response is that they will forward the request to the VOD team. The more they hear the same request, the more they may consider it. My email: This is just a kind request to offer Video on Demand on the LG BD570 player via Netcast. I realize that it's offered offered on BD670, but seeing as the 570 is still being sold (I purchased it less than a year ago), I think you can gain more customers. I am planning on cancelling my Netflix account and am considering VOD for myself. My mother is using the BD570 and I want to order a VOD service for her as well. According to the LG responses to this request, it's not their decision, but Amazon's. Most consumers are posing the request to LG, but you can see from the discussions on Amazon that this is something wanted. Amazon's response: Hello, Thanks for suggesting that we provide Amazon Instant Video content for LG BD570 Blu-ray Player. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the experience of watching our digital videos. I appreciate your thoughts and I have forwarded your suggestion to the Instant Video team.

I was at my local Big Box store today trying to compare the 3 mentioned TV's and the samsung is a B860 not 850, and I ruled it out because the edge of the TV (all the way around) is clear and it creates a very distracting reflection. And they now no longer carry the V10 in a 50" but have it in a 54", and offers it up to me for $1888., Out the Door!!! I think that deal is gonna be hard to beat ! Is there anything such as "to big" ?

Hi EarlyMon, my husband and I have been looking at tvs at B&M; stores to see what we like. We have decided on a 52 inch Samsung, but we wondering about the B550. Can I connect my laptop to the tv and watch Netflix instant movies? Thanks for letting me pick your brain on this stuff. Liz

I'd like to ask you a question about the 24p content. I produce videos in 24p, and although I'm very creative, I'm not a tech guru. Thus, I've been trying to witness the difference between TV's out there that claim to have good 24p playback capabilities, as we produce several things at that frame rate. Have you seen them side by side? Does the lower Hz level really make a big difference? I've seen the 8000 in action, but never checked the Hz level and didn't compare it to the 7000. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm with you! For some reason I can not pull the trigger on this deal. I know of "LG's " Netflix offer. Yet the low and wide feet cause a problem! Too low to place a center speaker in front TV, also blocks line of sight needed controllers. So wide as to need a wider expensive tv stand.

love the sound bar....I just installed it the way they said to do it and I watch netflix all the time.....the great thing about the samsung is it has different settings you can press a button to get at will....cinema, news, drama, etc.my tv is a sony....2 years old.I HAD the yamaha prior....lots of trouble with, and except for looking great was a pain....Costco replaced it with the samsung and I've had it almost a year. Only thing I hate is having to use 2 remotes, but I'm used to it now.Good luck!

Yes. I got a Sony and took it back. This TV is amazing. Not only that, the sound is even better. Pandora sounds amazing. There's the highs I've been missing all this time. Can't go wrong with this one.

With 3mps my rebuffing time has been cut in half, I see now that if you don't have at least 3mbps you are not going to enjoy Netflix's play now. If you have as much as7mbps you are one step below Blu-ray. You can take this from someone with first hand experience. I think now unless my system goes down I now have the perfect set up,a 67" Samsung, 2500 Blu-ray, 123 bose and Netflix what more would you need.

I have a Samsung LN46C670 and it has Netflix as one of the apps. However, after going back and forth between Samsung and Netflix, I found out that Netflix has not written an app that is compatible with the LN46C670 for captions and several other Samsung models and they have no plans to write one. I bought this tv because it has a great pictue AND that it has the Netflix app. My wife is hearing impaired and requires the captions to watch any tv shows. Have I spent around $1000 for nothing? Netflix, when are you going to support all devices with the Netflix app? Why would you write an app for a device and not provides updates to adequately use it?

Doggone. And I was just thinking about springing for a samsung 4671 (a consensus 5 stars from Amazon consumers). The main thing that bugs me about the V2500 series is the omission of Normal mode when adjusting aspect ratio. Since the set automatically interprets a 480i signal as 720p or 1080i, you're stuck watching nothing but short fat people unless you can control aspect ratio from the DVD player and set-up box. It wouldn't matter if all source material were in hi def, but unfortunately most is not. Sony made a colossal blunder, but apparently woke up by the time of the 3000 series.

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.
