Digital Camera Accessory - camera remote, camera accessories


Click here for more information
I just got this remote control a few days back, and so far I am pretty satisfied with it. The shipment was prompt and it arrived even faster than some of the Amazon's own products. I am using it with Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi. I chose it over some alternative products due to its compact size, and that comes in handy when lugging around a whole bunch of camera add-ons. I only have a couple of problems with it:



1. The user-instruction sheet is very poorly written and not very clear on a couple of crucial steps of the set up. It would have been more useful to have something that explains the set up in some detail with each one of the Canon products for which it's meant to be used.



2. The range of the remote is rather limited. I have not measured it exactly, but it seems that it doesn't work beyond 15 feet away.



7-28-2008 Update.



Since it seems that a lot of people are having problems with the instructions that came with this item, I decided to post a simple set-up procedure that worked for me:



1. Turn on the camera.



2. Press the "Drive mode" menu button. This is the same button as the left arrow on my camera.



3. Toggle between different setting using left and right arrow.



4. Make sure that the "Self-timer/Remote control" option is highlighted.



5. Press set button.



6. You are ready to roll. Point the remote to the camera (from the front of the camera) and press either the upper "S" (for immediate shooting) or "2S" (for 2s delayed shooting) buttons.



11-19-2009 Update.



From what I understand, the other buttons are meant to be used with Canon's point-and-shoot cameras. "S" is for shooting, and "W" and "T" are for zooming out/in. They will not work Canon's DSLR cameras. Opteka RC-4 Wireless Remote Control for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, T1i, T2i, T3i, 60D, 7D & 5D Mark II Digital SLR Cameras

The remote is handy, small and it does what it is supposed to do. It looks quite good I might say and I am very happy I took this instead of canon original. For this kind of simple products (not high-tech) it is not worth paying for the brand.



After setting the camera in the "remote mode" then press S/2S and you'll get the picture.



On the other hand, the limited acting distance is what I expected. It is the same as with the TV set remote. You can not use infrared from very long distance

Fabulous, pocket size, help you to work off camera not touching it at all and no having troubles with cables. Now I'm sometimes in the photos I take.

Perfect working condition, cheap (not the hard prices of the Canon originals)and battery is available practically everywhere.

I would recommend it for everyone having a Canon EOS.

Directions were not very clear and were not written in perfect english. This isn't just for Cannon cameras, it's a generic product that works on several cameras. The best I can tell,only one of the buttons on the remote actually work with the Cannon Rebel, which is what I bought it for. The other buttons are useless and do not work with my camera. I can take a picture remotely, so I guess it does work. Just disappointed in that it was advertised for the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi (my camera), and the XSi, but is really for multiple cameras and the only button that works is the shutter button.

I just got the remote and I'm very pleased so far. It works with my Rebel T1i and you can use it for the BULB mode (click once to open shutter, click again to turn shutter off).



The 2S mode will take 2 second and then open the shutter.



Very happy so far and I hope the battery lasts.

Works great with the Canon XSi. I had a bit of an issue finding the setting on the camera, but one email to Opteka (with a quick response within a couple hours) and I had it working great. See below for setting up the Canon Rebel:



Please perform the following actions to get the remote to work on your Canon Digital Rebel:



1. Turn on the camera.



2. Press the "Drive mode" menu button.



3. Toggle between different setting using left and right arrow.



4. Make sure that the "Self-timer/Remote control" option is highlighted.



5. Press set button.



S (shutter release), and 2S (2 Second delayed shutter), are the only operative buttons for an SLR.



The S (shoot), W+T (zoom control), are for select powershot point-and-shoot cameras.

I love this camera remote. It actual has more functions than the one Canon sells for my Canon Digital Rebel XSi (450D). The range is awesome. I love the delay button... works great when doing self portraits. I use this remote all of the time when I'm shooting from my tripod. I highly recommend this remote to any camera user. So easy to use and it works flawlessly. Very impressed! - Camera Remote - Camera Accessories - Remote Control - Canon

Nook Accessories - nook, nook screen protector


Click here for more information
The packaging claims that this screen protector is anti-glare, bubble-free, and fits the BN nook. In my opinion, none of these are true. As far as anti-glare goes, I can see my reflection in it. That is nowhere near anti-glare. Bubble-free? Ha! This thing had bubbles all over the place that I could not get out. It says it comes with a stiff card to help smooth out the bubbles -- mine did not. So I tried the card that came with my iPhone screen protector. That didn't get out the bubbles either. Lastly, I tried for a good half-hour to try and get this film into the correct position. It's just a tiny bit off, but enough so that it just wouldn't position correctly on the nook's screen. After all was said and done, I just ripped the thing off and threw it in the trash.



I may try the 'branded' film from the BN store to see if that is any better, but I'm pretty happy with the naked screen as is. Premium Clear Full Screen Protector for the Nook, Anti-Glare and UV - Barnes and Nobles Electronic eBook Reader

Beware! The installation tabs will leave paper and glue on the film which can damage the plastic when you try to rub it off.

And IT IS NOT A MATTE FINISH! It is glossy! It makes the display difficult to read.



I have contacted the seller for a refund and I will post again when I get a response.

I bought the screen protector for my nook thinking I'd be doing a good thing to help protect my brand-new eReader. After twenty minutes, I still couldn't get the protector on correctly and gave up. I decided it wasn't worth my time or energy any longer and pitched the whole set-up.



I'll be buying my next screen protectors directly from B&N and have the nook rep apply them.

You will be disappointed with this product. Mine arrived yesterday and I have already thrown it out.

First off, I found the sheets relatively easy to install after figuring out the cryptic directions on the tabs. So far, so good. The fit is not exact, they seem to be a little too large. The biggest problem with installation is the seemingly impossible task of getting them on the surface without picking up some tiny grain of dust or other particle under the film. I cleaned the reading screen well before applying it, but could not get a perfect install. There was always a small bubble with a tiny speck underneath. Reapplying was a problem also; if your finger even brushes against the "sticky" surface, the resulting smudge will be impossible to remove.



I got this primarily to protect the touchscreen, however, since I hate the fingerprints left on a naked screen--but the same problem.



As mentioned in another review, the most glaring issue (pun intended) is the reflective surface on the reading screen. It completely defeats the purpose of the matte screen, making reading difficult. I found myself tilting the nook to reduce the reflected light. On the bright side, however, if you need an emergency shaving mirror, this is so reflective it will suffice.



In summary, this is a piece of garbage. Amazon should immediately refuse to sell such junk. (I gave it one star because I don't think you can give zero.)

I won't get all long-winded on this one: This is garbage. It WILL protect your Nook's screen, I'm sure, but it looks terrible, even when properly applied in a clean room. The problem is that it's shiny and reflective; Two things you do not want on an e-ink display. It really sucks to try to read a book and see your own face reflected back at you from the page. If this were at all acceptable, they'd print books on mylar or aluminum.



Seriously, don't bother with this or any other cheap knock-off. The only ones I'd recommend are the official protector from B&N (which is over-priced, considering there's only one in the package), or the M-Edge version, which is pricey but includes three sets in one package, and works every bit as well as the official version.



Pretty simple rule for screen protectors when it comes to e-ink: If it costs less than $10 then it's probably this cheap PET material with a glossy finish, and it's meant primarily for LCD screens; Not e-ink.



Don't be fooled by claims of "anti-glare", because "anti-glare" is NOT the same thing as matte coating.



Avoid. avoid. avoid.

I would not want to use my Nook without this product but I am not completely satisfied with it. It is impossible to get all of the air bubbles out so now I have to read over them. Also, the price was really high especially since you only get one set of the protectors. Live and learn.

It is a very inexpensive product. Yes, it came in a little envelope with a picture of an iPhone on it. Yes, what instructions were there were in German. But really, the product itself was exactly as advertised. My screen looks the same as before, but now I'm not afraid to accidentally touch it. The touch screen panel is not super shiny anymore, and I like the slightly textured feel of it. The films were exactly the right size, and I didn't have any trouble peeling off the protective films before and after application. What I did struggle with was lining it up properly -- but that's me. I had the same trouble with the screen protector I got for my phone. As a result, I did get a tiny bit of lint under one corner for one of the screens. I have a few tiny bubbles near the edges. If I had made my husband do it it would probably be beautiful. It did come with a card to smooth and a little cleaning cloth, which I didn't like, I used a glasses wipe instead to clean my touch screen prior to application. Maybe I lucked out? But I'm more than happy with what I got, especially considering what I paid for it. - Nook - Nook Screen Protector - Accessories - Barnes And Noble

Samsung SSG-3100GB 3D Active Glasses - Nice and Comfortable!

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21b8rQwvTkL.jpg
These glasses are the best! These are for 2011 Samsung TV. They are very comfortable and will also be the right fit over your glasses. My 4 year old daughter wears them, even without a complaint. So you can add them all. They are lightweight and battery life is great. Usually I get about 70 hours of a couple. Can I buy a package of 10 replaceable batteries for a couple of dollars and they last me a year or more.

These glasses work great for me. I use them with PN59D6500 Samsung 3D Plasma and the picture quality is breathtaking. I had two pairs of these with the basic package of Shrek/Harry Potter has bought another pair for $150 from BB and have only two more pairs for just under $50 each on Amazon. I liked for $150, but loooove for less than $50.

I prefer non-rechargeable, such as a family is a pain in the ass in turn 4 or 5 pairs on prices, to understand what needs to reload, etc. Very easier to keep some batteries around. In addition, the Bluethooth use, and as such have considerable autonomy. I used two pairs of glasses for more than 48 hours of 3D vision and the batteries are still strong.

Its nice to have updated Bluetooth. Now you can go anywhere in a range of time and will continue to operate. They work right out of the box. All you have to do is charge a battery. They are compatible with the current Samsung TV. While each manufacturer makes their glasses and are generally not compatible with each other. I believe that the active glasses are much better than "3D" passive technology. But this seems a choice between producers. Sure passive glasses are cheaper, but personally I do not think the 3D effect is impressive. However, the only experience I had with passive glasses to watch TV at my local Best Buy to take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I am very pleased with these glasses and they look wonderful movie in 3D! Samsung has dropped the price of about $50 now so they are very convenient. I have three pairs of glasses and is rechargeable, and two of them are much more comfortable on my head. They are lighter and more balanced. I'm also a little less than the rechargeable batteries (plus the battery does not bend upward). A couple that I received from Amazon was defective from the box, but Amazon was quick to do well. Feel free to take these glasses! They are great!

LG 42PW350 42-Inch 720p Active 3D Plasma HDTV Buying Guide

LG 42PW350 42-Inch 720p Active 3D Plasma HDTVI have had this TV for a week and spent some time playing with it and watch more television, more films, both 2D and 3D. I think I now have a good idea of ​​how this TV performs.

Now I want to go into details a little more for my calibration process and how this TV performs. In fact, the accuracy and grayscale color TV very well in "Cinema". I used my colorimeter, download a free copy of the software and the AVS HD 709 calibration disk ColorHCFR calibration model to test the colors and shades of gray. I found the video mode has a good range, color temperature, brightness and accuracy. It's not perfect, but it is not too far away. The contrast must be a little higher, but for a way out-of-the-box, is very good. If someone does not bother with the calibration, just go to the Cinema mode and increase the contrast a little, and is ready to go.

For those who are interested in more advanced calibration, the TV has two advanced imaging modality called "Expert 1" and "Expert 2" with small "ISF" logos. These two modes are all you need to calibrate advanced ISF is certified by a professional or do it yourself (although I dig these "experts" However, I am not an "expert", not even close BTW). Go deep into one of two "expert" modes, you can adjust the RGB channels (both contrast and brightness), color filters are used to adjust the color saturation and hue. TV up to 20 control points of curves grayscale. Although this adjustment can be difficult to use and allows more accurate grayscale. There is also a control of primary and secondary colors for the CMS (Color Management System), which are rarely found in entry-level or mid-range TV.

I spent a couple of hours playing with these advanced controls and the results were surprising. Luminance, gamma, color temperature curves were all very close to the objectives deltaE with very low values. Of course they are not as low as I can get my monitor with the graphics card, but these figures and graphics are excellent for a TV. After calibration, the colors are natural and smooth skin tones look great. Watch movies in 3D. I noticed that some crosstalk / ghosts in some dark scenes, but it seems that this problem depends on the content. I have seen very little ghosting when watching 3D tangled, almost no problem with the last wave 3D Tahiti and a little more of Shrek 1 and 2 in 3D.

However, it was also where I found an annoying problem as I said. The picture modes seems to be working independently in different display modes, including TV and Blu-ray. I have a Blu-ray player connected via HDMI. All my calibration has been done in this vision with the use of my Blu-ray. After everything was set and I got my desired results, there is no way to apply the calibrated parameters for all inputs. I calibrated profile "Expert 1" (Blue-ray display mode) on TV does not have the same parameters, does not really change at all. I had to manually copy the number from my notes and transfer them one by one. I found it very annoying, but not a big problem and I could get around him. But it is very strange.

Another problem that I found rather strange is the expert of profiles, image are disabled in 3D display mode. So, all the calibrated results are meaningless if you watch movies in 3D. I understand that all energy-saving functions are disabled in 3D mode, but the calibrated profiles are gone too? Very strange. Fortunately, the profile image "Cinema" is still working and as I said, what a good job.

This TV doesn't have any internet streaming service but who really needs it because if you buy a 3D TV, it's almost certain that you have or will have a 3D Blu-ray player and all 3D Blu-ray players have internet streaming capability. Why we need to pay more for a similar feature in a TV as well?

In summary, Although this TV is certainly NOT among the best out there, not even close; It is an excellent TV, especially for the money. Having a lot of advanced picture controls is a huge plus. Excellent picture quality for the money. Despite some annoying but minor issues I found, I still give this TV 5 stars for its quality and value.

**Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Pretty good looking
- 3D
- Many advanced controls for tweaking picture quality, ISF calibration ready, as LG put it. This is a huge plus for an entry level TV
- Excellent picture quality and color accuracy, especially after being properly calibrated
- Low power consumption for a plasma TV, has built-in smart power-saving feature. After being calibrated, it's less than 100 watts in 2D mode which is very low for a plasma TV and within the territory of LCD TVs.

**Cons:
- Only 720p. This actually doesn't bother me because I hardly notice any difference in picture quality compared to my 1080p TV unless I get very close, something like 2-3 feet or so.
- A small annoying issue I found when I tried to calibrate the TV. No big deal but still annoying. I will explain later.
- Looks like a mirror. This is actually a problem for all plasma TVs, the technology itself. If your room is not dark enough, or the TV is facing a window, the reflection can be pretty bad. High end plasma TVs have some sort of filter or something like that to reduce reflection but they cost a lot more. If your room is pretty bright, get ready to buy a dark curtain.

LG Infinia 55LW6500 55-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TV Buying Guide

LG Infinia 55LW6500 55-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 240 Hz LED HDTV with Smart TV (Included: Four Pairs of 3D Glasses)This is my first time leaving a review on product I bought online. First of all .... WOW. I think it's an amazing TV. For a while,in my history, I've been waiting and waiting to finally get a television until now. I did my homework, read the TV reviews in different way, and what they offer. I am the person of the film and large HD picture is really important to me. I was checking the 5600 and was very happy with what I saw at Best Buy. The reason I bought the 6500 was because of the price at Amazon (updated picture quality and 240 Hz also helped. The price was so good, in fact, that probably would not have been able to get this TV otherwise.

The drawbacks are not very many and not too much of a game-changer. One, there are no audio outputs on your TV is not an optical output. If you have a system of his inheritance which has an optical input, is not the end of the world. For an extra ~ $25 or you can get a stereo adapter, which transfers the optical signal to analog composite or RCA coaxial. $100 to get one that will do Dolby Surround (I had to do). And one off bit of space, and I was trying to get a new home theater system, but it was necessary for me to get (and save a few hundred dollars more), which has a ton more gaming devices and video use. It 's easier to run a single audio output to connect your home theater system and everything else on television do not have to change the settings too. I think there is a lack of audio output with the games of most new cases. The digital age takes over, I think.

We have not looked at the 3D source content, but are completely blew up the conversion from 2D to 3D. We watched TV for HD sources, the series "Oceans" (a lot of underwater photography) and Blu-ray for arial view of Italy. Both were amazing. The underwater pictures, as if we looked out the window of a submarine, and arial shots as we were actually looking through a window of a helicopter. Our hats are off to developers of software from LG! The effect is like looking through a window, but as with any depth of field is created at a distance from the screen. Nothing obvious in the room, but the effect is very realistic depth of field.

HD 2D image is fantastic. Converting 3D is just fantastic, but with bluray, or even HDTV. I watched the final baseball, basketball and hockey in 3D forced. Impressive. I also think that HDTV makes the picture look better. Blu-Ray 3D - The first night I received the TV, I jumped into the real tough Tron in 3D and I was absolutely blown away. I know that there is much talk of shock absorbers against liability and loss of quality between the two, believe me, I was too nervous to ...... image / detail was beautiful. If there is no loss, and I would be hard to say no, not worth the debate when you add the cost of non-3D glasses.

PS3 3D game - is just great. Black Ops and MLB The show is much more fun. Bring your game to the next level. I have not experienced lag, as mentioned in other reviews, but I have my Tru-Motion to put down. Set-up and Menu - Set up was easy and intelligent TV features are great. Quick and easy to navigate. The fact that there is a phone jack head was great. I plugged my computer speakers Klipsh and the sound is perfect for the size of the room that we have at this time. It saves the need to buy a surround sound / receiver right away. The sound / volume of the television of today is not bad, I mean it lacks range, but hey, it's a flat screen. With all the negative talk, I expected the sound is much sweeter than / worse than it is.

I know this is not a coach super-critical, but a person who is waiting to be awesome, this TV is. If in doubt, do not worry, that's all. I suggest you go through the color scheme. What makes the difference and does not take much time. I had some friends the other day and showed them some of these characteristics and we were surprised, especially the 3D part. Hope this helps!

Toshiba 46WX800U 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz Cinema Series 3D LED TV Review

Toshiba 46WX800U 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz Cinema Series 3D LED TV, BlackChoosing: I have been on the market for a new TV, but I was not going to get a 3D TV until I saw the sale on Amazon, which had included the Blu-ray glasses from $1,299. That good to pass up since I was planning to spend close of a normal LED/LCD TV anyway. There have been some sales of Panasonic and Samsung, but I chose Toshiba. This TV was replaced by 3.5 years, 50" Toshiba HD DLP. It was a very good 3D product, so I decided to exercise a little of brand loyalty. In addition, since Toshiba was one of the the last big manufacturers to release their 3D TV, I thought it would be probably the best picture, because they had more time to perfect their technology. This may be a flawed logic, but it worked for me. there was virtually no comment when I bought this TV, so I kept my fingers crossed.

Shipping:  I've been waiting for this thing as get to me - although it took me for five days, it seemed forever! The box had a huge hole in it (seemed to have kicked) and the back of the TV had a small dent. I signed up for this with the recognition that has been unprecedented, so if it did not work, I could return it. These things have an expedition is known to be rough on packages. The hematoma does not bother me (how it worked), so I brought home.

Installing: Back to home, was out of the box. This TV is very thin! It also surprisingly heavy (not too big, but is heavier than it looks). The base is attacked as it should be - pretty self explanatory. Plugged it and turned on. The TV I walked through the configuration as it should. The picture is very great - I do not have cable (I know), but the OTA stations seemed wonderful. It was very clean pictures. The response time was very quick to change channels (it was a bit slow on the DLP TV) Toshiba has options to change the image are endless -. I'm still tinkering with the image (although as it is made out the box is great).

With 3D: I bought A Christmas Carol, and Monsters Vs. Aliens (excluding eBay) in 3D. The installation is identical to a standard DVD player, but I think you need a HDMI 1.4 to transmit the 3D image. I hope this front, but fortunately I did some research before the TV arrived and ordered a cable for $7. It's not a big deal, but I would be angry if I had to make a trip to Best Buy to buy a $50 cable. For glasses, just pull the tab of the battery-saving light (you will see, if you do not know what I mean) and is ready to go. You can tell when the glasses are allowed because the changes of light through the lens. I think I had to change the TV to automatically detect the 3D, but a message appears and tells you what to do when you see a disk in 3D, so all you have to do.

STANDARD/Blu-Ray: Fantasy. There is not much more. It is a beautiful image with incredible detail. I thought that with old DLP HD Toshiba was a great movie, but I do not know if I will be able to look back on this TV due to the improvement on it. My blu-ray was really amazed at this TV. There are many settings, you can do for the you like picture, which is nice (I use no doubt, but is more of a comfort thing).


I did not know what to expect. After I ordered the 46" I started reading you need a bigger screen to enjoy 3D and I'm worried. Fortunately, it was not true! The picture is much more alive only in theaters. When I put A Christmas Carol, all I could do was smile. I read a lot of stuff here and there, people had questions about the 3D television ghosts and double images. It 's actually happened during a scene from A Christmas Carol , but I'm not really sure why (was that a character's nose has a ghost image during a scene) and it did not happen in other parties or other movies. I made it clear that the 3D image is better when the TV is about setting the most. I'm sure someone can explain why, but I can not. This was especially true during A Christmas Carol, a film that is very "dark" to begin.

Summary: Spend the money for this Toshiba 3D if you're in the market for a new TV. Amazon is current agreement includes everything you need for 3D (except for HDMI 1.4), and the picture is incredible. I think it will take long before the 3D TV falls much lower (at least a good). There is not much in terms of 3D media at the moment but I will.

Panasonic DMP-BDT100 Full HD 3D Blu-ray Disc Player Review

Panasonic DMP-BDT100 Full HD 3D Blu-ray Disc PlayerPanasonic DMP-BDT100 3D Blu-ray is currently one of the cheapest Blu-ray 3D, but this does not mean sacrificing performance for cost savings. The player offers a robust set of options for streaming (Netflix, Amazon VOD, YouTube, Pandora, etc.) and very good upconverted DVD and Blu-ray extraordinary, for the same price as many standard 2D Blu-ray. UPDATE: Vudu is now available on BDT100 via a firmware update recently and the server.

It is a great player for the price Panasonic Bluray 3D. Like its sister BDT300  and BDT350 players ,you can choose the setting for the card, which works perfectly with my Mitsubishi WD60-737. I use it to stream Netflix movies. My first 3D experence, I have to say I was very impressed watching the movie Monster House Develop X102 glasses.

I waited to buy the Blu-ray 3D because it was half the price of BDT350. I was a little concerned if it was so good? I must say that this player is great. I saw the movie on the Panasonic has sent me to buy the 50-inch VT25 3D television. Now it's time to choose the film a little more! I a technician, but 3D is great that the film sent. I'm glad I went with Panasonic seem to have an advantage in 3D! I wanted to buy 3D glasses for the most part I only waited for the off-BDT100. Why spend money on a player when you can fit the whole family with 3D glasses! I made the right decision!

The player lacks some features compared to the top of the range DMP-BDT350: no dual HDMI output (only required if you use this with an old receiver is not compatible with the 3D), multi-channel analog outputs (not for use receivers with HDMI) is not integrated network and Wi-Fi (can be added via the wireless LAN adapter Panasonic). It also provides a user interface has a modern graphical user interface clumsy on the basis of what is seen by the current LG and Samsung Blu-ray, although it is higher than that of the user menu on the Pioneer players. However, the DMP-BDT100 provides all the basics and several advanced features, such as a strong high-definition video and audio performance. The player has passed all tests and films upconvert detection frequency of "Britney Spears and Munsil" and "HQV benchmark" DVD and Blu-ray also offers a brilliant and wide-format color prints 24p 4:04: 04 (24 options Output images / second) for both DVD and Blu-ray. If the disks are mainly money like watching movies, then there is little to fault in BDT100.

We have noticed a peculiarity with Netflix streaming BDT100. SD streaming content from Netflix, we saw something called "cue" (chroma upsampling error or "chroma bug"). This is something that can occur when a compressed video source has its color information upconverted to restore details lost in the process of color compression. BDT100 this upconversion is imperfect, which can lead to visible color bands or jagged edges on the borders between colors. The problem is obvious that the content definition Netflix streaming standard. Netflix HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc does not have this problem. And, frankly, that formed the eye could not even notice.

It becomes more evident when we move towards larger screens (eg, front projection systems), but some content can be viewed on screen size SD Netflix as the most common 42-inch and above. When asked if the problem is a deal-breaker for you or not, depends on how the standard-definition Netflix streaming to be done, and if the chroma bug is something that bothers you. But it would be negligent not to mention it. According to our contacts at Panasonic are aware of the problem and are working to find a solution.

If Netflix SD content is not part of your media plan, then we give an unqualified recommendation BDT100. But if you're watching a lot of standard definition content streamed from Netflix, then you may want to look elsewhere or wait to see if Panasonic can offer a solution to this problem BDT100.
