Hi,
I just bought a new Samsung 32F5000 Led TV, it comes with an ethernet port and I'm wondering what it is for. The manual is shockingly bad and gives no explanation; I've connected the port to my router and although TV says that I am successfully connected to my network it doesn't seem to go further than that. I have a feeling the port is only there for software updates as the Tv is not a smart model and doesn't have a player built in. But I'm wondering if there is any trick out there to make a better use of an otherwise superfluous ethernet port! Obviously it would be great if I could play content on it from my network (i.e: laptop, Nas, dropbox, etc.)
Thanks.
PS: Does anyone know if the usb port on this model is compatible with usb hdd's?? That would be my other solution for playing content on my TV!
