I'm looking for good DLNA clients for iOS; for use with an iPad. I'd like to know of any good or at least decent DLNA clients that can allow me to view MKV files on an iPad (at least 8-bit MKVs, hopefully there are some that allow for 10-bit ones) and a good DLNA client for viewing pics from my PC on my iPad.

You should invest in the PLEX ecosystem. It was originally an off-shoot of XBMC tailored for Apple products, but has grown far beyond that recently.

It works in two parts. You install the PLEX MEDIA SERVER on a host computer, where you have the files stored. It automatically recognizes your media content, organizes it, and adds metadata. It will then act as a DLNA server for any PLEX CLIENT on your network or remotely. It transcodes filetypes and allows multiple language tracks and subtitles tracks on the fly. You can resume content across all devices, and the support for PLEX CLIENTS is incredible: iOS, Android, Roku, Smart TVs, Chromecast, etc.

With the iOS app, you can even AirPlay content to supported devices. It's wonderful.
