Watching Movies From A Flash Drive On A Non Usb SupportedTv by calabaman(m): 10:50pm On Nov 26, 2014
Hello All,

I would keep this simple, I bought a flatscreen tv from an LG dealership some months ago. The salesperson assured me that I could watch movies via a usb flash drive but alas that wasnt so.

My question? the tv has a HDMI port, plays mp3 music files but doesnt play movie files. IS THERE ANY ACCESORY I CAN BUY TO CORRECT THIS? PERHAPS AN EXTERNAL HDD MEDIA DRIVE or something?

Your suggestions would be appreciated thanks

You could try updating the firmware. Go to their home site, search for your product then download their driver update. Also be mindful not to try 1080p video on a 720p screen; some LG screens can't go full HD.

Thanks I would look into this option.
