--- I've moved this from the CI Lounge Forum as it makes more sense here... ---

Hi,

I've just been looking through the specs for the new series 8 3D LED TVs from Samsung and it does not appear as if there is any EXLink port for RS232 control. I know they have no 9 pin D-SUB connector but most previous screens have had a ExLink connector.

They do support Anynet+ control but that is over CEC on HDMI and therefore of little benefit on the CI side.

It seems a real shame that it looks like the only way of controlling these will be using IR with a bug on the front :-(

Does anyone know if there is an ExLink connector or even if Samsung have finally provided an IP based integration capability?

Many thanks

Jez
