As of today none of the tvs based on X-reality processor play mkv this applies to products sold everywhere in the world.

The 2011 models based on BE3 plays them as mentioned in the manual.

I can confirm it does not play mkv, however there is an easy workaround. The cx520 plays m2ts formats and there is a useful utility called tsmuxer - tsMuxeR 1.10.6 - VideoHelp.com Downloads which can convert mkv to m2ts quite quickly.

Basically mkv is a container format and this program takes the MKV file streams and unmuxes it, so there is no transcoding or quality loss and since its just unmuxing it doesn't take much time.

I agree there is no quality loss but there is heavy file size gain. Unless the cx520 can access files from a portable hdd, this method will not be very beneficial to the OP.

I honestly haven't seen heavy file size gain, a 4GB mkv becomes maybe 4.2GB or a 8GB becomes 8.4GB

Thats not flickering.If a tv has flickering it applies to the entire screen

What you see in those news channel ticker is stuttering ,a tv with a good image processing show them only in some instances for a brief period.
My 4 year old 32" sony which has a BE1 engine shows stuttering only for 1 or 2 seconds ,it quickly corrects itself.
