Hi folks; I've been frustratingly unable to find a DNLA compliant TV that's around 22-26" on the NZ market. All the big manufacturers make them - but don't release them here. Or so it seems. Can anyone point to a model or importer that I may have missed????

Pretty sure the 5 series Samsung LED's will have DLNA - but finding an older 27" may be tricky...
That, and DLNA on Samsung's can be pretty frustrating.
I think 2012 will bring a smart option or two, but they may not be on the market yet. Are you in a hurry?

They do a 22" version too... or, did... good luck with the hunt.

What about connecting a smaller size TV to a DVD player with DLNA support?

Shameless plug: I got a Sony BDP - S590 by redemption with my new TV that I'm probably looking to flick off in the near future.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Yeah, would love to do that, but its in a wall mount situation and there's no room to dangle a DVD or any sort of streaming/DLNA device otherwise I'd have gone there! But thanks for the try

** Dunnersfellow - thanks for the input. I got sucked in by Samsung's series 5 LED Ad on their web site. Looks like they have 'all share' but the tech specs for the 22 and 27inch say NO to all share/DLNA and the give away is no network plug.

There are pretty slim picking in 26" and below TVs this year.

The KDL26EX550 from Sony may be your answer.http://www.sony.co.nz/product/kdl-26ex550

Should be coming into stores about now. Where do you live?

You can get media players that are standard VESA mountable. Will probably be easier to find one of those than the TV your looking for, or you can go for wall mount - http://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-photography/dvd-players-vcrs/other/auction-477302008.htm these have screw holes on the bottom so you can put them on the wall behind the TV.

Trig42 - that looks more like it. You know, I searched Sony's web site and didn't spot this. DLNA is so badly marketed! I live in Kerikeri. I notice Dick Smith sells them for $529.
