My turn... I need a 40" ledlcd (don't care about 3d) that can play 1080p mkvs with built in subs.
Suggestions? Biggest chain in country went bankrupt and tomorrow they open the doors to a megasale (I already have my king kong outfit aired and ready).
My trusty old 29" Sony trinitron has shown signs of dying on me for a while now. I guess it's time for me to join the HD generation.

I've heard good things about the Bravia EX720 (not seen it in person though), the only 40" TV I can come up with off the top of my head 
Checked flatpanelshd.com and/or digitalversus yet?

I went to a competing store and checked out a model I liked. The LG wasn't that expensive (well, it was expensive but not compared to the Samsung Series 8 8005 I was looking at).
LG 42LW650W. Trying to figure out if it can play .mkv 1080p files but none of the specs I've found about any led-telly says anything specific like that, they just say "2 x USB 2.0 (MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, JPEG)".

When I want to know some accurate specifications, I normally check if there's a manual available for download. People often overlook those, but it helps a great deal. Although for some manufacturers the manuals aren't really that great, I find what I am looking for more often than not.
In this particular case:
| Quote: |
.mkv
Video
Codec:
H.264 / AVC
Profile/Level support:
Main Profile@ Level 4.1
High Profile@ Level 4.1
(e.g. 720p60, 1080i60, 1080p30)
Audio
Codec:
HE-AAC
Profile/Level support:
HE-AAC-LC and HE-AAC
Codec:
Dolby Digital |
So it seems that you are fine on the video side of things, but most of the 1080p mkv-s are encoded with DTS, which doesn't seem to be supported. With that said, DD 5.1 encodes are often available as well.

Might be worth the hassle to grab a PS3 as well, for the great media server

Samsung TVs seem to have extreme bleeding. Almost everyone around me buys a Samsung TV (they look hot I guess) so I've pretty much seen every high-end Samsung TV.

Sony's releasing this new model at end of April http://www.sony.lv/product/tv-102-40-lcd/kdl-40r470a
550$...What do you guys think?...the Component/Euroconnector is something important for me to record specifc Output stuff from the TV (got one of those Euroconnectors with component plugs thingy...with a "IN/OUT" switch)..
I was about to buy a KDL40HX750 for 900$ (Or less depending of my job's discounts),but all i heard is bad stuff about the audio and some WiFi functions..
Would be replacing my actual TV, a KDL22EX302B or something at the end of the year
ASUS X570 TUF GAMING PLUS, 32GB DDR4@2666 ,RYZEN 5800X3D (NO OC),GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Super GAMING OC, Western Digital Blue 4TB 5400RPM + SAMSUNG 860 EVO 500+1TB GB SSDs , OEM SATA DVD 22xNoctua NH-D15 Chromax Black, BenQ XL2420T Case: Be Quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901. PSU CORSAIR RM1200 SHIFT

...Anyone?
Also,would these new TVs have the "Red Yellow White" (Composite) cable INPUT ?..i know there's the Euroconnector in some of them,but Composite's important for me to record some ol' stuff....Also the euroconnector's important...
The thing is,i haven't seen any reviews out there,not even on Digitalversus..
Now looking between 32-36" TVs from Sony and/or other trustworthy brand,but Sony mainly..dunno,has something special
