[manzb]

Congrats!!

Regarding the buzzing sound, I have never heard any. Please inform if you can figure out any buzzing sound.

manzb my dealer did not accept for replacement at the last minute...he said only exchange is possible....so may be i will go for a samsung plasma next year...till then i am going to enjoy my 50s60...

 

[manzb]

Zouresh, I think you 50S60 is not bad. May be you once you are adjusted to it's PQ, you'll start enjoying it. I think you better wait for 3-4 years, when AMOLED or other technology like 4K may become mainstream before changing the TV.

 

[zouresh]

you are correct manzb....my s60 is not bad at all.....the picture rendition is very good after my recent calibration...i will wait for OLED and get a new tv after a few years...

Every time I turn on the TV there is a slight chirping buzz that I can hear coming from the screen. I am simply amazed by the PQ though I am yet to find the right balance of settings for myself. My living room can be very dark, if I turn off the CFL's its almost like mid night at any time of day - windows being covered by shades.

I really like the fact that I am able to cast from youtube using my tab, phone and computers. I gave up to idea of buying a chromecast after seeing this

True that.. That's the only reason I gave up on buying a wireless keyboard... And btw.. That's not a "tv" feature.. Its a YouTube app feature...

No it's a TV feature/ apps. You are suppose to use the "Allshare" or something similar apps installed in your mobile/ tab. Unless the TV apps is not enabled, you can't get it on TV screen. It has nothing to do with Youtube. You can share anything on your mobile/ tab with the TV screen using this apps.

I agree with @manzb Allshare works absolutely fine for Videos,Songs and Pictures even from my 3 year old Samsung Galaxy S .It is a Samsung feature.
Even the Samsung Remote App is a delight to use.

Okay.. I think we are talking about two different things here... I was talking about searching for video on YouTube on my phone and making it play on the tv by pairing it.. You guys are talking about playing the content on your phone on the tv.. Is that right.? I really am looking for the Samsung remote app.. Can u please provide the play store link? I'm using a Nexus 4.. Is it a galaxy only feature?

 

[vishal2032]

I have played so many formats of HD (1080P and 720P) Videos through USB till now and every format thus far has worked smoothly. Some videos doesn't work even on My First Generation WD Media Player! This Samsung Plasma 51F5500 thus far has been a delight to watch.
Thanks to all the members of this forum who helped me to choose between Samsung Plasma 51F5500 to Samsung LED 40F6400 (similar in features but just 40" in size) .

Search 'Samsung Remote' in the play store. I have the Samsung Remote version 2.2.5. ( just 1 mb in size) Don't know if it will work outside Samsung Mobile. But there are few un-official Samsung Remotes apps too. I think they might work from all Smart Phones.

I haven't got it yet :-( waiting... Also the dealer promised me that Samsung will give me an additional tv maintenance kit too.. Been a month since...

@rockytruelyrox- Sadly this F&D T780W soundbar does not have Bluetooth functionality. Only option is 3.5mm aux in to play media from Phone/Tablet.

 

[denzong]

I am facing a problem. When I use USB or smart tv, the sound of that doesn't come to avr. Therefore the 3d movies do not have the actual surround sound I wanna use. Rendering my Yamaha avr useless.

How should I place the cables. As if now tv is connected to Yamaha avr through hdmi arc port
