"Your TV will immediately recognize a connected device and offer you a means for accessing and navigating your media files. If you want to program your TV to play a slideshow when idle, there's a major benefit to keeping a flash drive attached just for that purpose. That benefit? Your media will not be automatically transferred to the TV's cache or internal storage because it will read files directly from the flash drive."
"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 TVs include a pair of USB 2.0 ports and often a USB 3.0 port for faster transfers. Those ports let users display galleries, run slideshows, and play video files directly from external hard drives, thumb drives, or flash sticks. TVs typically recognize connected storage immediately and provide file navigation similar to a laptop. Keeping media on an attached drive means the TV reads files directly instead of copying them into internal cache or storage, which avoids duplicating files, saves time, and helps maintain TV performance by preventing internal storage from becoming clogged.
