Watch .mkv Bluray files on your Samsung TV

Category: Blu-raypaomic @ 12:59 pm

About a month ago I bought a shiny new Samsung TV, SLN40B650. Its specs didn’t change much from a lower cost one, such as the 630 model, but it had a very nice feature, internet@TV widgets and the ability to read videos from a USB port. At first I didn’t think it would be such a great feature, since I already had an external DVD and DivX disc reader, but I tought it could be useful so I went for it. But a few days after receiving it, I tried to attach ax external 2.5 HD and… magic! It easily read all the files inside it! I tried some DivX movies and they played perfectly! I also had some DVD .vob files, and they played too! So I went on and tryed to copy some mkv files in my office PC from Bluray disc to the HDD and they played too! And also at a great quality! I don’t need the Bluray reader anymore, I was going for it, but hey, now I got it free! I’ll buy another HD instead, I could get some 2 TB disc for the same price! If you’re going to buy a new TV, go for a Samsung like the ones below.

P.S. Please check that the TV you choose has this feature!

Samsung UN55B8000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV, Samsung LN46B750 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color, Samsung PN50B650 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
, Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color

    Have you had issues with perspective? I’ve noticed somefiles when I copy the vob files don’t maintain a proper perspective?

    I never had such a problem, maybe it’s due to wrong settings, such as ratio, did you try changing it?
