TV with usb inputs

[The Judge]

Hi all. What is the advantage of a tv with the usb input. Obviously you could play your music through it but is there anything else

 

[Iceman]

Movies recorded can be watched, pictures. Guess thats about it.

Movies in DivX format is the main advantage. Some of the newer TVs will also allow recording to usb.

Panasonic G10 allows you to play movies + music + show pictures of it

record TV to it, and plug a wireless dongle in for the wifi.

Also enables the use of a keyboard. Not sure what thats for mind.

I'm guessing they're restricted? Ie likely only 2GB FAT32 etc. I doubt you could plug in a 320GB Ext. HDD with all your movies on?

Well not by capacity but File Format i.e. most require it to be FAT32 (well all the ones I've come across).

You can use 3rd party software to format any capacity FAT32

This is from the PDF.

Please use only a USB storage device which was formatted as a FAT32 file system, NTFS file system provided with the Windows operating system. In case of a storage device formatted as a different utility programme which is not supported by Windows, it may not be recognized.

The recommended capacity is 1 TB or less for a USB external hard disk and 32 GB or less for USB memory.

Recording to USB sounds like an awesome feature.

That's pretty impressive, my cheapo DGM 22" won't recognise a HDD of any kind, FAT32 or otherwise, only usb flash drives (although, to be fair, it can read SDHC which is quite useful). Guess you get what you pay for.
