Hi! I just got myself a new Samsung LED 40" Series 5 (UA40EH5000R). But having a problem here with the ConnectShare. I tried to play 1 mkv file from a flash drive and it is working fine. But when I tried to plug in my 2 of my external HDD, it wont detect any movies in it at all. I check from the Information it can still read the drive capacity and free space though....
BTW, all my flash drive and HDD are formatted in NTFS. I don't think that would be an issue rite?

lagging? So must plug in the HDD and wait very long? But I didnt see any further activity from my HDD after that...

Standard external HDD USB cable for sure

the manual stated it is supporting external HDD. As the USB port there written HDD (1 amp) support as well....

It can't even view any of the files and folders inside the drive. Only able to read the disk size and free space. My HDD got a lot of avi, mkv, mp4. I tried copied out to flash drive it can play.

u mean external media player quality is way better then the Connect Share? I got a WD Live TV, and the quality is superb with HDMI. But is kinda disappointed that we are having this problem. My friend using 46" model got no issue with HDD.

I am using the latest firmware already from Aug-2012. My unit was produced at September 2012. BTW, I tried another of my new HDD and it work! It seems like it is having some issue with Seagate HDD. Now I use WD HDD and it is working without issue.

Yep.. same partition format. Just weird that 2 of my Seagate Momentus 7200rpm not working. It detected the drive as "OAS". Then with my WD Scorpio Black, it able to detect the drive model name and it is working.

yea.. got a problem though with the MKV subtitle yesterday. Maybe not compatible. The subtitle able to turn on, but it just flicker awhile for it lines....

I am using Series 5. It has 2 HDMI port for the 2012 model. Previously got 4 HDMI ports.... i think they cutting cost..

Do you guys normally buy the extended warranty for Samsung TV? Normally is covered for 2 years by default. But I've been hearing a lot of my friends and others saying that most of their TV having issue after 2 years.
For myself last 2 weeks I just bought a 40" Series 5 with 2+3 years extended warranty paying extra around 350+-
I think is quite worth for it, because maybe after 4 years your TV will be obselete and maybe no more spare parts. By that time they will replace for you a new model in which the price range is the same as the TV you purchase.

My Samsung UA40EH5000RXXM panel dead 2 weeks ago. The extended warranty technician not able to repair and after much delayed they agreed to replace a new unit for me which is UA40H5008ARXXM. Not sure how is the process exactly on the replacement, tech told me the previous shop will deliver to me, but the shop told me they never provide replacement for 1 to 1 exchange before. Because if possible, I am planning to top up and get a 40" Series 6.
