"After the initial setup, most people rarely engage directly with their smart TV. With wireless connectivity, phone apps, and remote controls, there's little need to. Tucked next to the essential HDMI ports, a USB 2.0 port -- likely sitting unnoticed on the back or side panel -- offers more potential than you might expect. USB ports are easy to overlook, but they're a standard feature on most TVs -- and more useful than you might think."
"Most new TV models come with a pair of USB 2.0 ports, and often a 3.0 port for faster data transfer. Your TV screen is likely bigger than your computer monitor, so why not use it to carousel a gallery of images or play videos? I attended a family gathering recently, and the host used a 65-inch TV to do that very thing. The scanned pictures and videos looked and sounded great -- all accessed by simply plugging in a USB flash drive."
Most modern smart TVs include one or more USB ports, often USB 2.0 and sometimes USB 3.0, located on the back or side panels. These ports allow direct playback of photos, videos, and other media from flash drives and external hard drives without transferring files into TV storage. Keeping a dedicated flash drive attached can enable automatic slideshows when idle while preventing duplication into the TV cache. Plugging into USB ports can provide convenient media playback, simple family-ready displays, and modest feature expansion that can extend the practical usefulness of an older TV.
