Hi there

I have just bought a Samsung LE32C530 32-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p 50Hz.

I usually play movies using a memory stick via the usb port in my DVD player but this new TV has a USB port.

What would be the best memory stick to buy to watch HD downloads from.

I don't think the stick I have will let me have a larger that 5 gb file depite being a 16 GB stick.

Thanks
xxxdxxx

    I'd give it a try first, Samsung TV's are fussy as to which files they will play.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    You could try to format the stick with NTFS instead of FAT32, but I'm not sure whether the TV can read it. Have a look in the manual.
