It has a USB Port, okay how does it work. Does it work as a media player, if so how do you watch your stuff?

It hooks up to wireless internet so you can look online for media (ex:Pandora). Also you can hook your phone into it and it will play music through the speakers on the treadmill (you use your phone screen to navigate). I have not tried to plug in anything else into it.

It is not a TV (no tuner) but it can play certain movie file formats. It's more like a monitor.I have video's that don't play well but I'm not sure yet if that is because of file corruption or weak processor. The files play well on my computers.

I was able to use the auxiliary port to play my android phone. Regarding the USB port, I picked up a cheap mp3 player download my music and plugged it in without a problem. Hope this helps a little. Stan

Can you plug an HD Antenna into the back with a USB dongle & watch local over-the-air channels?- I have not tried it, but I don't believe so.Can it see/browse video files on a network NAS?- Yes. It was able to see my SaMBa share without any problems and play the videos there.

First, You would select usb using the input button same as you select the DVD feature. If you are trying to view pictures from a camera(make sure it's turned on) or flash drive, plug it in first, then select the usb through the input button. If you are trying to watch a downloaded movie on your usb drive this will not work. To watch movies from a flash drive, you would need something that has a usb input which processes video, and outputs that are compatible with your TV's A/V inputs. I have tried the usb inputs on many TV's and DVD players with no success. I have heard that certain videogame consoles work well showing videos from usb drives but that's a "$400.00 solution". Think of my usb input as a new place to charge my phone.

its a usb port so I certain it should play media I've never tried due to the amount of other options but if I were to guess I'd say yes....otherwise look up online or contact their customer support.

Yes, when you select the USB as an input, it activates and powers the USB port and any device connected to it, and you can browse the contents just like on a computer. The remote control has a section to forward, play and skip files etc.

Is there any confirmation that the USB port can link to a computer or media player (NMT)?

Yes, it can browse/playback media from a DLNA server (personally I use Tversity).

No.. It only plays videos from DVD... USB will allow pics to be shown an screen captured.... Nice unit but limited

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player.It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

We purchased this tv and it does not have a USB port. It does have an SD card slot but I'm not sure what you can do with that besides looking at pictures. I'm not sure if you can view picture shows or not.

No you can't, but you can plug a roku into the HDMI and plug the USB drive into it and watch it that way

I have never tried to play movies/videos flash drive via usb port; so, I don't know if it can. I recommend looking at Samsung's website for the television specs & allowable inputs.

It plays DVDs (not blueray) and avi movies saved to your usb drive. According to the manual it will convert the songs on a music CD to music files on your usb drive but I haven't tried it. Has output to your TV for HDMI and composite video.

The poster above is incorrect. The USB port can play any video file, provided it is the right audio codec, either AC3 or or MPEG-audio. All you have to do is find a converter. MP42MKVac3 is what I use. This program will convert any video file with AAC audio (which is unplayable on the USB port), to AC3 audio. Use MediaInfo to determine what audio codec the file uses. Good luck!

You need an external player with a USB connection, I purchased one for under $40.
