We're getting pretty tired of waiting (and waiting) for LG to update the ST600 firmware so the Plex Media Link app can actually play the popular video formats we all use.  It's entirely possible that the lack of love LG are showing the ST600 may even mean it's hurtling towards being cancelled!  That would be pretty sad as it's never even got the chance to show what it can do yet.

Meanwhile back at the ranch we're looking around again for that magic £99 box to bring our Plex library to secondary zones around the house (bedrooms etc).  The guys working on Plex for Samsung have made great progress and their widget is looking really polished.  Perhaps best of all, in addition to Samsung TV's it also works on Series C and Series D Samsung Blu-Ray players which you can pick up for as little as £89.  Check out the video of Plex for Samsung...
