I haven't read the previous posts but nearly all late model flat panels I've dealt with have some sort of divx/mpeg4 compatible media player built in with USB access. My 2yr old TCL LCD 40" has one. It works great although some slowdown on intense scenes. I haven't touched it since I got my PS3 :) ... actually, I haven't watched anything not originating from my PS3 since I got it :) Although they become redundant pretty quick in our circles, they are great for the non-technical. I just wish they would support some viable way of upgrading/flashing to support more codecs. I don't think I'll be seeing an rs232 port an LCD TV anytime soon :) Sarton _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
