 Hi Jim --

I don't know - they do not provide information about resolution in the specs:

>>Hi Shamil:
>>
>>I have a Samsung 6100 which has its own version (aversions) of Linux (Bada
>>or Tizen) running it, which does suggest it can be upgraded or replaced
>>easily. It does have multiple HDMI connectors, wireless capabilities, a
>>direct LAN connection and even has the old RCA type jacks. It has an
>>internet browser of sorts but nothing like the current crop of PC browsers.
>>It also has "gesture" capabilities from its hand controller. Whether it can
>>be hacked and a separate OS installed I can not tell you but I was looking
>>into that before the current contract absorbed most of my time. 
>>
>>I do run much of its content from a windows version of PS3 Media Server,
>>installed, on a server, on the network. It is great for managing content
>>libaries like running presentations, tutorials (mostly saved YouTube and
>>MS), family and other movies. It also offers the capabilities of managing
>>music and photo but I have not played with those features yet.

>>Do you know about any?

>>Basically I'd like to have a TV Set (running some embedded Linux or
>Win7/8):
>>
>>- with built-in or "dongle-driven" WiFi connection;
>>- stream video, audio, view pics from a LAN DLNA server connected via WiFi
>>(like that   http://mywindows8.org/connect-samsung-dlna-enabled-smart-tv/

>>- with a full internet browser to browse at any available LAN locations as
>>well as at Internet sites via WiFi connection;
>>- with ability to view text and PDF files - if that would be available only
>>via browser - that would be OK.
>>
>>I'm no looking for a monoblock PC or a TV set connected to a PC via HDMI
>but
>>a TV set with features as I have tried to outline above.
>>
>>Could you please advise any?
>>
>>Thank you.
