2 questions from tech idiot I am researching every source I can find before shelling out all the $$ for this Samsung. Will I be able to play movies on this direct from Netflix? Also, have seen mention of a "Green Screen" problem with Samsung. Person says Samsung told him to "download a thumbnail port to fix it", but it didn't. Then fellow said you can't ever "use the HDMI cable because you will get a green screen. He was asking why pay for options on the TV you are unable to use. Well, it was all Greek to me. Is there anyone out there who can explain any of this to me in toddler's terms?

Hello Caryn,This 32" Samsung does not stream Netflix movies. You would need a Blu-ray player that does or some other device. I use a Roku and I am very happy with it, especially since they added Pandora and Flickr last week. I'm not sure about your green screen question.

Thanks, Grumpy Jay! About 70% of my movie list is classic movies, so that's perfect! And I'm very interested in checking out the British line, too. Woohoo!I don't yet have an HD TV. Hopefully I'll get one this year, but it's on the back burner for now. I'm assuming the Roku HD Player will work even w/o HD TV, right? And I have to have wireless, I'm guessing, which I do.Thanks again, Everyone! I really appreciate all the input!CJ

It works, it works! It's so ironic because I called Netflix directly yesterday and they told me they hadn't finished development for this Tab yet. I was honestly considering taking it back. I had Netflix on my Samsung Epic 4G already, but wanted something bigger without dragging my laptop everywhere. I went to the galaxytabforum.net and put "netflix" in the search bar. Scrolled down a bit, and there it was. A link to download the apk for Netflix! Just make sure you have it selected to download non-market apps and there you go :) So happy now!

I recently bought the Viera TC-P55ST50 and I am not happy and I am considering replacing it for the following reasons: Picture quality, Reflection madness, Cannot receive Amazon 3D movies because I do not have enough band width and you can't rent 3D movies from Netflix, Hulu, or from Blockbuster so who do you rent from? So, limited to DirecTV (which I have). I miss my Samsung, so looking at replacing with this product mentioned in this month's Consumer Reports as a "Best Buy". Other reviews regarding who needs a "Smart TV" are correct as long as you have a Blu Ray player with those features or game box.

Streaming the netflix isnt the greatest though. I have had good luck with my wireless internet connection through my playstation 3, but the selection on netflix is horrible. It doesn't do me any good to have the entire setup when I can only download about 5% of the netflix inventory. For example, of the netflix top 100 movies, you can only stream 6 of those movies to your TV. The other 94 movies are available to be shipped on DVD, but not the direct stream to your TV. The concept of direct streaming is misleading, just giving you a heads up!!!

Went to Sams, they had a sony for $150 that does Netflix. Walmart had it for $128 at one display and $199 somewhere else, probably the $199 was right. No way I'm buying this one with no netflix.

Yay for the info on the Wii having Netflix! Thanks for sharing. Now I can get this product knowing Netflix will soon be available to me in another way :) I'm excited based on the reviews of this. I previously tried a Samsung Blu-Ray and all I can say is I will never buy Samsung for anything ever again.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab HDTV adapter, part number EPL-3PHPEG, arrived today and is working fine with my 3 month old VIZIO TV and Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. You have to drag the (standard sized) HDMI cable and the power cable around with the tablet, but I expected that. There are a few lines cut off at the top and bottom of the screen. Other than that, so far the video looks pretty good. I don't have a netflix account. Is there somewhere I can get a free sample of high def streaming video to test that aspect?

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

My mini HDMI port wont work with my Samsung 50 inch Plasma TV. I don't think the tablet is fast enough to play back movies on HDMI. Most of the time it don't play movies on the screen or it is to slow playing movies. Sound is very low with volume all the way up. Never tried downloading to SD card then playing either. Great for web browsing,weather,stock market and some games. Mine don't take good pictures or video. I use mine mostly for bible at church. I would look at a different tablet for movies.

Samsung and Amazon work fine on other models, but not this one. Tons of chatter on the net with this. I just went several rounds with Amazon, and they claimed that the hardware (ie processor) won't work with their service. Personally, I find it baloney. , Other models of Samsung before and after work just fine. And other software such as Netflix work without issue. Their answer was to buy a Roku. Personally, I'd skip Prime and stay with Netflix. I'd think long and hard about buying Samsung again too. They both really pissed me off. So sorry.

I just picked one up from BB today, and the included manual isn't much more helpful. According to the manual, it is going to be up to the individual production of discs as far as what you'll be able to get from components. IF the protection is enabled, without HDMI you will only be able to view 480i or 480p. 720p or 1080i, either through HD DVD or upconverted SD DVD would/could be blocked. Hope this helps. Like I said, I have the unit and I'm watching it now with SD DVDs until tomorrow, and the upconversion is MUCH better than my previous Toshiba DVD upconversion player. Star Wars III was absolutely fantastic (picture wise. Unfortunately this unit cannot yet "upconvert" poor scripts, but I digress). If anyone wants to ask anymore questions, I'll be picking up a couple HD DVDs tomorrow (Tuesday 4/18) as well as getting some from Netflix, so I'll have plenty of review material.

I thought I seen a vid on youtube with a guy watching netflix on the unit. On an android phone though. I have an Iphone W/adapter and I cant get netflix to work. I believe it only will work if your videos or movies our downloaded through I tunes. I have a couple of music vids downloaded from I tunes and they play through the head unit.

Thanks for your answer, JD! I thought so. Oh, I saw it at Best Buy--I was SO impressed with it. I wasn't even thinking Samsung until I saw it. Samsung has really outdone themselves with this one, I think! I haven't even read of any major problems with it yet, so that's encouraging! Keep me updated and let me know if there are any little bugs with the TV.

Thank you, Phil. I read somewhere on the discussions that a user had downloaded firmware that locked up his machine and the company said that there was really no fix for it yet so he was stuck with a machine that no longer worked. I have another question. My computer is upstairs and my bigscreen with Bose sound, etc. is downstairs in the family room. How do I go about running netflix streaming movies. Do I need anything downstairs or does the signal come in from netflix into a Gateway at my house and they are already connected. I am so out of touch anymore. It is hard to believe that I used to be the district technology cooridinator for our community grade school district. DUH Thank you, Phil.
