Thats not a bad idea actually...
Im in the market (next 12 months) for a new TV anyway, so i might as well wrap up the cost of a media player/solution into that. Im after a Samsung ue55 d8000... sexy tv
However with regards to streaming... my xbox is on a wired connection, and i stream from my laptop via xbox media center, but my laptop is not wired... and i suffer major slowdown issues. How do people get around this?
Guess it must depend on what size file you are streaming and the wireless speed.
Ive a dedicated media pc plugged into my home cinema setup which I use xbmc on, buts its a wired internet connection. I stream video from that to my laptop in the garage wirelessly to play on the plasma screen in there without any problem.
Is the d8000 that borderless LCD model? If so id checkout the reviews on it before buying. I was considering one of them and opt`d for the 50" Panasonic ST30 instead. Much better picture quality but not as sexy looking physically!
That's the one... i fell for the borderless screen - it looks fantastic while playing Avatar on Bluray.
You may be right though regarding picture quality for general viewing... i'd heard it wasnt the best... i'll do my research before committing to anything.
Cheers Wayne, i'll investigate.
