Can Philips TV Play Video from USB?

It all depends. Most newer Philips TVs have at least one USB port, but some older models may not. In addition, some models of Philips TV don't have a Media player therefore it's not possible to playback videos, music and pictures files from a USB drive, the USB port is only used for charging and firmware update.

What Are Philips TV Supported Video Formats?

Assuming your Philips TV is capable of playing videos from a USB storage device, make sure that your USB drive is properly formatted. You'll need to format it as FAT32 system.

Another thing you need to know is that, Philips TV USB video format varies from model to model, but MP4 (H.264/AAC) format seems to be the one that is guaranteed to work on all Philips TV models. Definitely, the modern models can handle more formats. You can check the Specification or Manual of your TV and learn the details.

However, even if your video file matches one of the supported formats, you might still encounter playback issues as follows:

  • Unsupported Codec: A video file consists of a container format and codecs for audio and video. If the codec used isn't supported by the TV, the file won't play.
  • High Resolution or Bitrate: Videos with resolutions higher than the TV's capability or with exceptionally high bitrates may not play smoothly.

Next, let's see how to solve these issues and enjoy a hassle-free viewing experience.

To ensure your videos play smoothly on your Philips TV, consider the following tips:
