"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."
"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 modern TVs include one or more USB ports (typically USB 2.0 and sometimes USB 3.0) hidden on the back or side that can be used for more than charging. Plugging in a flash drive or external hard drive lets the TV access photos, videos, and other media directly, enabling slideshows or standalone media playback on a larger screen. TVs will read files from attached drives without copying them into internal storage, which avoids duplication and preserves internal space. Using a dedicated drive can automate idle slideshows. These ports can also add convenience and extend the usefulness of older television sets.
