Does not have Viera Cast capability - R. Arant Jr. - Seattle, WA USA
Just wanted to warn others that, despite the product description, this unit does NOT have any Viera Cast connectivity options (wired or wireless). For the price, I'm not surprised -- and I needed a new DVD player, so I figured it would be a bonus if true. Other than that, it seems solid. I've only had it a day, the 1080p upscaling looks good and the remote is a little awkward.
