ei guys,what is the new firmware will do our unit?

I have already posted mine twice. Heh heh. In case you don't have a hardwire Internet hooked up to the TV, check the LG website. They have the latest one posted and ready for download with instructions on how to upgrade yours via USB. Hope that helps. :)

hi spaceman, i think you are on a different region. Dito po ba kayo sa pinas?
ours have 3.0 ++ FW and has no update once it searches for the software when connecting to wifi.

Finally got my USB dongle. I have to say I am a little bit disappointed. It felt and looked ... Inexpensive. Certainly not close to the $80 it retails for online. Glad I got it for half that price. Also, when I hooked it up, it didn't fit the USB tightly. So it kind of slumped down. I had to attach some double sided tape to keep it straight.

However I think it works OK. Tried to stream from it and mukhang OK naman. Will try bigger files naman next time. (had to run out of the apartment kasi.)

Will post more findings later. :)

There is a "hacked" firmware update for US models LD550, LD650, LE5400, LE5500, LE7500 and LE8500that I read about on one forum, but the author did leave a *screaming* caveat on his post:

This firmware for US broadband TV only.
DON'T TRY TO FLASH IT ON NON-US MODELS !!!
IT CAN BRICK YOUR TV !!!


Wow, and here I thought the risk of bricking during firmware updates happens only on the PS3 :o :o :o
Going 3D, at last! (And I don't care it it's a fad.)

firmware upgrade on any electronic device when interupt might brick the unit.so be very extra carefull in doin such thing.first ask yourself.do you realy need to upgrade or just want to follow the trend.IMHO!

ang big difference pala ng LE5400 sa LE5500 is may local dimming yung LE5500

syempre medyo over emphasized yun na sa video. OA naman yun comparison. LOL.

BTW... the dongle was useful for the internet streaming (i use netflix and it streams in HD. tried it on CinemaNow too with the trailer for Megamind... it was amazing. almost blu ray ang quality)... one bad effect though... i think the dongle interferes with the digital TV transmissions... i experienced "blips" in the TV broadcasts when i know it accesses the net. but other than that... it streams perfect.

i have tried playing 720p MKV files and there is a little lag at the start but once it caches enough from my DLNA device, it plays fine until the end. i notice that it actually starts playback immediately instead of caching data first... which may explain the initial lag.

i solved the "slumping dongle issue" by attaching a small amount of mounting tape to the end of the dongle... so far so good.

as for the difference between LE5400 and LE5500... i believe it's all just the contrast ratio. the 5400 has 4M:1... while the 5500 is 5M:1.

teka teka,my understanding with the local dimming feature is only for larger panel of LE55 and not with the 32incher model.

bro,
medyo ho na misinterpret nyo ang video sa youtube. hehehe
both TVs are identical except that the one on the right was wired in the factory without the actual video signal shown on the screen.
yong left TV shows the complete video signal, while yong sa right TV naman pinakikita nya kung papaano gumana ang local dimming LEDs in response to a video signal.
pansinin nyo ho na kung saan ang may fireworks, doon naman iilaw ang LEDs.

Saw a 32LE5500 at Savers along Roosevelt Ave, QC.

29k with wifi dongle and wall bracket.  I asked kung puwede ba w/o the dongle and bracket hindi daw kasi standard issue daw yon for this tv.

They were also selling the 37LD460 for 31k with an HTIB.  Hindi rin daw puwede w/o the HTIB.

It looks like Anson's still has the lowest prices. (25k cash, P28,500 12 mos 0%).

As far as I'm concerned, there is still no confirmation on the 23k price. :(
