"Most TVs hide surprisingly handy USB ports on the back. Plugging into them can unlock extra features and convenience. They can even help breathe new life into an older TV. 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."
"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 televisions include one or more USB ports, often a pair of USB 2.0 and sometimes a USB 3.0 port, typically located on the back or side panels. USB ports allow direct playback of photos, videos, and other media from flash drives and external hard drives, letting a TV serve as a slideshow or media player. A connected drive will be recognized immediately and navigated like on a laptop. Keeping a dedicated flash drive attached for idle slideshows prevents the TV from copying files into internal storage or cache, preserving storage and simplifying updates.
