They're a different beast from LCD/LED screens which are your typical PC monitor sharp as and in your face.

What is funny about that though is, if you turn it up in winter, you can cut your heating costs. I noticed my house was always warmer during the winter months after I bought my plasma.

I think you're right, I chose the wrong person to parody.

New 3D tele on the way out and now you dont need them specs to watch it.

That sounds better

Cheers Kev.

Received a Samsung Wireless dongle yesterday. Plugged it in the USB port and set-up the network. It connected to the Samsung server and did its thing. Upgraded both Plasma and Bluray software. Easy peasy. Connects direct to any wireless Router/ADSL with default DHCP settings in auto mode (WAP/2 - PSK) or other. I use a Telstra 2-wire box. Was very straight forward.

Thats very very cool, suprising how things have progressed.......

The Samsung idea of automation can get daft though. If you stick a CD into the blueray for a bit of background music on the stereo, it turns the TV on and the TV selects the player. Irritating having the TV on all day whilst playing music . And from memory, if you switch off the TV, the blueray turns off too .

Yeah it's called Anynet+. If you hardwire or wireless any recognised devices the TV screen will act as a 'server' and takes control. You can disable this behavior in the device list in the menu I think if you take the device off the list. Haven't read all the doco. I find it convenient when I stick a bluray in the player it switches the screen on to the right device automatically and the control drives the player. You still can switch the screen display off though but not the power. Samsung sell all those speakers and sound towers that are supposed to be plug'n play with Anynet+ but I've always had my reservation with sound over wireless. What do you reckon? Hardlines are the way for sound?
