To play back a video file (from USB etc) require processing power
(2D and 3D videos)
Complex videos often have problems playing smoothly due to their complexity
What has more power to process them - the TV or the Blu-Ray player ?
I suspect the later

I'll try it out tonight now that my Panasonic BDT110 player has arrived
on an video file I know the Panasonic GT30 TV has trouble playing smoothly

Anyone else tried this comparison ?


(Hopefully not constrained by USB 2.0 i/o speed)

I'm not sure you can generalize as such.

My BDT110 is pretty useless at playing back large 3D files (pretty good with smaller 2D files though plus has good .mpo 3D still support). It also has a DLNA bug so you're forced to use conventional network shares rather than a DLNA server.

Samsung TVs have pretty good playback support but unlike the Panasonic have no understanding of conventional network shares (so you're forced to use a DNLA server)

Few things are easy when different video encodes are encountered
