hi, can the DLNA access the rmvb files from my pc???

i can!! but cannot use pause, fast forward/rewind...

tried to copy the rmvb to usb and 42v cant read it, but through LAN connection it's able to play

Dude, finally i understood how it works!!! the tv is actually streaming from the pc. The TV itself cannot read rmvb directly! please read this:

hmm.... but not all files work that way, as there are some file that can be open on my PC but cannot be run on the TV.

i'm sure pana user manual will say what media formats are supported.. it definately won't support ALL files that your PC plays..

i wonder why still no latest model come out yet since the V series already discontinue? i survey some of electric shop they also said no stock already, waiting for latest model come out

Maybe the supply chains got affected by the recent disasters in Japan?

duh... read properly

we are talking about DLNA function, we all know panny dont support RMVB but running through DLNA enable me to watch it... that's where it come to place that i said " wonder why it cant read some of the file format".



and the manual never said panny support RMVB

DLNA is definitely not easy to configure. I've tried for several weeks and in the end, gave up. I bought a media player with networking which is easy to use for the family and it can play almost all popular formats straight out of the box.

my 50u20 is nearing 200 hours break-in. so can i configure the settings to what ever without worrying the IR issue? what is the best setting you guys have set / advice?

My 50u is >10 months now.

Game Mode
Contrast 50 to 55
Brightness -3 to 2
Color 45
Sharpness 45 (If FHD movies, may lower to 30)
Color Balance - Cool
Vivid Color / Eco Mode / P-NR - All OFF

Do not like Dynamic due to too bright.
True Cinema Mode too yellowish since cannot set Color Balance via remote.

vincentboleh, you mean all the while you are using game mode for everything (movie + game). i noticed under game mode we can't adjust anything to fill up the whole screen there's black bar at the side. no problem kah?

bro anfield posted some settings awhile ago for U20K.

if i still remember, his recommended setting is True cinema, contrast 70, colour 50-51, brightness 0, CATS off, sharpness all the way down to 0.

of course if u can ask him to do proper calibration, that would be better than these settings.

My TV default aspect is 16:9 via dynamic mode and you cannot select aspec when in Game Mode. I do not notice any black bar???
I do not use TV for games, only for Astro (non-Beyond), Bluray Player & Media Player.
I love this setting but it really depends on your own liking.

Why not try Anfieldude's recommended setting on True Cinema Mode (Contrast 70, colour 50-51, brightness 0, CATS off, sharpness all the way down to 0) and let us know your view here. I commented on this setting where Picture is yellowish and color went back to the sixties and the dude iterated that it is up to one's liking. Only owners of this TV and eyes of the beholder can tell more.................

vincent,

The true cinema mode has the most accurate colours.

The greyscale however is not perfect. Nor is it in any mode. Its most accurate in true cinema mode. To correct the yellowish tint u would need to go into the service menu and adjust white balance to further improve.

Dynamic mode has a colour temperature of about 10K. This means that the whites are really blue tinted. Cinema (Warm) is close to 6500K, TrueCinema is closest to 6500K

BTW, the 60s was known for green tinted. The True Cinema shd not send the colour to the sixties era as its the most accurate. Anything else has a wide gamut colour that is really not close to reference. Sharpness is a mix bag. If u view only HD material, I would suggest anywhere from 0 - 20. If u watch a lot of SD stuff, then u would need to bump up the sharpness to above 30 - 50.

There is reference and there is preference.

My comment was that if u want to bring ur display close to reference use TrueCinema, if u do not like it, its ur display, u can select whatever u feel u like.

anfieldude,

Need your help to clarify. Suppose I set True Cinema & Normal with the same settings (the settings available in the Menu), will the PQ be the same ?

From what I gather from reading this, even with the same menu settings, the PQ will be different as the settings (not available to the lay-person) have been pre-set at the factory and they are different. Right ?

Thanks.
