I finally fired up my new Panasonic 60 inch Plasma and it looks good OTA and Direct TV. I found that it also supports netflix. I watched "Orange is the new Black" and the image quality seemed pretty good. I'm pretty sure it was SD and when I hit the info button I see 4 lines of info one which showed 1.7Kbps/1.7Mbs......... I assume this is referring to the download speed but it never changed all the times I reviewed it. Is this indicating some metadata flag in the netflix stream that indicates the bandwidth range or a quality category I'm viewing in or is it a tachometer of my download speed or what? I don't understand why it has 1.7Kbps/1.7Mbps in the same line. Anybody got a clue what it's telling me.
I was sitting approx 8 feet from the screen and the program looked decent to me. It was late at night so maybe that helped with bandwidth but I didn't notice any varying compression that I've heard the streaming services use to keep the picture playing without stalling. The TV is hardwired to my gig ethernet switched hooked to an Apple airport extreme router. It really played much better than I would have expected having never before used netflix other than watching my daughter watch on her laptop.
