Help with my first TV

Telecaster · 6 Jan 2018 at 11:40

I need help setting up my first ever TV!

My last one was a huge CRT in about 2003 and it was only connected to a playstation, I've never had one for watching stuff on.

It's a Samsung smart TV thingy, how do I watch films that are on my PC hard drive in the next room? presumably I can connect it somehow?

When I press the home button on the remote it brings up sources and when I scroll across I can see some PCs (I have several) but I've no idea how to configure it all so I can, safely, watch stuff from them.

Edit: is this a question best asked in one of the PC sections?

Ok will do cheers. Just a quick one, presumably I can just put the films on an external drive and plug that in direct and watch them from there?

Cheers. Will have a play with it.
