Just bought UA40ES5600R.

Can someone show me how to check the "uptime" of the TV to verify that it's not a display set?

Guys,
I just managed to setup my new UA40ES5600R and have just realised that it does not support video format rmvb! doh.gif My wife has a bunch of rmvb videos to watch shakehead.gif

I'm planning to setup a DLNA so that I can stream rmvb format video from my desktop or laptop - to play on my TV.

I'm not sure if this is possible, kindly advise as I am planning to do it on this weekend.

yeah it does not support rmvb, the reason behind it I heard was because rmvb movie size are small and not clear so they dun want people complain their tv not clear (something like that hehe)

Samsung supports movie format as below:
.avi
.mkv
.asf
.wmv
.mp4
.3gp
.vro
.mpg
.mpeg
.ts
.tp
.trp

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I thought I could play rmvb format movie using my PC (Windows 7/Windows Media Player 11) and stream it to Samsung LED TV - despite the fact that Samsung LED TV itself could not play rmvb format, I am playing using my desktop.

Please advise ya!




Lastly, if the above is incorrect, which means that playing rmvb movies via DLNA on Samsung LED TV is not possible - the only alternatives we have are to get either BD player that support rmvb and/or any other media player that support rmvb. Am I right?

Hey guys! Is series 5 smart tv worth getting? I got a quote for 2090 for 42 inch led

Btw the model they quoted me is ua40es5600

I was looking for 42" but there are not many models with such size in the market, maybe LG & Sony (Seng Heng model) or Plasma TV.

I am ended up with Samsung ua40es5600.

My comments on this model:
1. Can do without Smart TV - I get this due to the 100Mhz Motion Rate. I was conned by the Salesman on the motion rate doh.gif. Smart TV itself is not appealing to me.

2. Check what video formats Samsung is capable to play - Note: rmvb is not compatible for Samsung built-in player. I didn't notice this as I was offered this model last minute because my choice of brand/model was out of stock doh.gif

Well, this is Samsung LED TV Thread after all.

Having complained that the Smart TV is not really that appealing and the lack of built-in player support for rmvb video format, I have to say that the model (SLIM LED TV) is one beautiful TV! The image quality is decent. I couldn't comment further as I haven't spend long enough with it yet. smile.gif

My 6 Series (40") cannot be switched on anymore (the power led light blinks twice slowly and continuously). Anyone has experience with this and how much is the expected repaired price?

Before this happens, the tv restarts by itself randomly
