So recently upgraded TV to the B8, and loving the 4k content so far, but wanted some clarification on the best way to play my media.
I have this set up: LG B8 > Sony STR-1060.
I used to play my movies from my laptop, connected to my TV through HDMI, and use as an external monitor playing media on VLC player. However, my laptop power isn't up to playing 4k movies it seems so I need to look at other ways. I've read about nVidia shield, but I don't want to fork out for one just yet. Can I just transfer my 4k files to an external HDD and plug that into the TV?
