DLNA on Samsung A series LCD TVs (i.e. LN40A650 )?!?!

by nnjxj4 Aug 8, 2009 3:17PM PDT

I bought a LN40A650 a little while ago and am now seeing the LN40B 6 and 7series for less money then i paid with more features. (Boy do i feel screwed!!! - The story of our lives with tech purchases. i know :-/ though id happily trade in my tv for $600 off an led :-P) The question I have is can some of these features simply be added via firmware, such as dlna, or by adding the wireless dongle that is now available? I know that the wireless dongle will at teh VERY LEAST let me access my RSS InfoLink but what about "Medi@2.0?"!?!? Anyway I can add that to my A series TV?!?!

If not i seriously want to trade up!

Any ideas?

nnjxj4,

Welcome to the forum.

The Media@2.0 features will not be available for the LN40A650 (A Series) due to hardware restrictions. There are no plans to make it even partially backwards compatible with the new features or widgets that I'm aware of.

So if your retailer is willing, do what makes you happiest.
