I can stream all my music, movies, pictures, from my computers. I can browse my shared folders on my home server and other computers in my house FROM THE TV!!! How cool is that? Now we dont thave initiate the media from the computer.

Plus this TV understands all the popular media formats even the Mac ones. It even understands all the common Codecs, at least all I can think of including DivX, Xvid, and OGG. I think most of us have a few videos on our computers we would like to watch on a TV, well this thing even UPSCALES them.

The MediaSmart TV even lets me rent or buy movies that download to my computer. Bye Bye Blockbuster and Hollywood video.]]>Sep 27th 2007 7:34PM
