Anyone streaming content, hd or otherwise direct to these tvs?
some links in the thread below, but was in curries today and saw them. Sales reps didn't have a clue.........
weighing up for the kids tv linked to network in the house to eliminate dvd players in each room if possible!

yeah, if these have dlna, you can have central storage for media, is however more expensive then a upscaling dvd with hdmi for 3 bedrooms.

and if you go that direction either a PC has to run a DLNA server or the NAS has to. I think if you read the info on the 2 above links, you have a good idea.
My experience it is good playing content, it is slow in using the other player functions: FFW, ...
so it is not realy streaming, it is more like youtube, but local. Could be streaming should show in DLNA website.
That would be for Samsung and Sony (DNLA models) would not know for Panasonic.
