The hard drive is connected to the TV via a USB port. However, that does not mean that any TV with a USB port will accept the hard drive. For LG TVs, the specific cases are as follows:

- For ordinary LG TVs: Only TVs on the USB port have the HDD IN symbol, you can connect the TV to the hard drive through this port. Some models LG TV often allows connectivity with the hard drive, such as LED TV 42 inch LG 42LB561T , LED TV 32 inch LG 32LB551D , LED TV 49 inch LG 49LB551T ... ..

For LG Smart TVs: With LG Smart TVs , any TV allows you to connect to the hard drive via USB. Note, however, that if the hard drive is connected to a regular USB 2.0 port, the power supply is insufficient to maintain the hard drive connection. Now you can power the hard drive using the Y-USB cable. If you plug the hard drive into the USB 3.0 port (with the green port symbol), you can rest assured that the TV will read well.

Appropriate hard drive capacity

Depending on the purpose of using the hard drive, you can choose the appropriate capacity level, to ensure smooth operation when connecting to LG TV.

- If you connect the hard drive to the TV to read content such as listening to music, watching movies, watching photos: In fact, the higher the capacity of the hard drive, the more difficult it will be for the TV to read the content. Therefore, it is best to use a hard drive of less than 2T capacity.

- If you connect a hard drive to record TV shows: Time Machine recording is a very handy feature on LG smart TVs. To save TV recorded programs, you need to use a storage device, in which a hard drive is a very popular choice. If you connect the hard drive to the LG smart TV to store recorded programs, a hard drive with a capacity of 40G to 2T must be used.

Fix TV hard drive not recognized

If you connect the hard drive to LG TV and the TV does not recognize, you can fix it by the following ways:

- Power supply for the hard drive. As the article mentioned above, the normal USB 2.0 port will not have enough power to maintain the operation of the hard drive, especially hard drives with a capacity of over 1T. Therefore, to be sure, you should equip yourself with a Y-shaped USB cable, to be able to power the drive through the USB port on the TV.

Above are some notes for you when connecting a hard drive to LG TV, wish you success!
