Hi - I'm looking for a small kitchen TV (max 24") that will be wall mounted.

I would like to be able to stream to it from a NAS but from my 'googling' it looks like DLNA TVs aren't really up to the job yet.

Does anyone have any experience of DLNA TVs and their ability to receive and play movies?

Another option I would consider is the WDTV Live which looks like it's crammed full of CODECS but I'm really keen to avoid additional boxes and cabling.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I use DLNA on my panasonic from my buffalo NAS and it works fine. The only thing you need to worry about is what formats they play naitively. Mine plays VOBs for example but only individually so if a movie is made up of 4 Vobs then you have to watch it in 4 parts or combine them on your pc first.
