Can you use the USB port on this TV to watch movies off of a flash drive?

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!

I've sucessfully done that with my 128GB Patriot drive. Just be sure that the video format of the files on the drive is supported by the TV you have.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

I have not found a way to have the phone recognize the flash drive. So no, it will not work, you can't watch movies or even have files on the flash drive connect to the phone through the dock.

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.

Yes, you just need an adapter(dongle) to connect to USB on TV. Then just follow the steps to search to WiFi and connect

No but you can plug a USB drive in to it and watch your movies and listen to music

Yes you can play movies through the USB connection. In fact, you can connect a PC to the television and play them right from your PC.

I have only used the tv function but it has a port that you can play music and videos off of a flash drive. Truthfully I don't know the answer to that question. You may want to look into your user pamphlet to see if there is a customer assistance number to call for your best answer.

I don't believe so, despite the fact that most of the Smart TVs have a USB port, this port is NOT designed (AFAIK) for an "input" (pointer) device, but for connecting a USB thumb drive and/or other playback device. I believe you should check with LG directly and ASK about the features of your USB port.

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

No. The TV cannot decode a Blu-Ray (or DVD) disk. You must either connect a stand-alone player or Blu-Ray capable PC to read and decode the disk and output the signal to the HDMI port on the tv. To confirm, I plugged my external USB optical drive into the USB port and was unable to read the disk at all.The USB port is intended to read and decode media files - typically avi, mp3, mp4 and mkv directly from a flash or laptop hard drive. This also works for 3d files in the side-by-side or over-under formats.

I have never tried this. However, I have read other reviews on this DVD player that stated that downloaded DVD movies to the USB drive can be played.

This TV does not have a USB type connection at all, however it does have a SD card slot and can play movies off of a sd card, also tv has a PC connection on back so u can plug a labtop into it and play moves that way as well.

no, you would need an usb to hdmi adapter I assume. As it is it has usb ports only

Yes, I also use it to watch Hulu plus, and movies on a usb port. You can also connect to Redbox, but I have not done that. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it without hesitation

You may not be able to - because it depends on if the TV will find the USB driver to support this device. A more sure way of doing it is using a Wireless Bridge and connecting that bridge to the Ethernet port of the TV. Here is an example of a wireless bridge... http://www.amazon.com/EnGenius-Technologies-2-4GHz-Wireless-ENS202/dp/B00BOVOKR8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1390581048&sr=8-4&keywords=wireless+bridge+engenius (if you want 2.4GHz) or http://www.amazon.com/EnGenius-Technologies-Wireless-Bridge-ENS500/dp/B00BOVOM0S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390581126&sr=8-2&keywords=wireless+bridge+engenius (if you want 5GHz)
