monitor with usb connection

[nachaluay34280]

hi there

i am looking for  a screen or monitor, (not sure of the difference)

i want to be able to put  a usb or flashdrive in it to watch videos and to listen to audio podcasts, which i have previously downloaded from the internet

 

i do not require internet connection, nor bluetooth, nor any facility for games

i would like to have the possibility of attaching better speakers but this is not essential

any help would be appreciated

Sounds like you want a TV 😊

 

My suggestion to you, if you want to keep the cost down, is Monitor and Android box. A cheap TV will have low resolution with a limited capacity to play media. Android box will be able to play most things.

It sounds like a Smart TV would do the job. I have a TCL 32 inch 4K jobby, USB, internet and Bluetooth, all for about THB 5k.

With the right app you could probably download onto USB stick without your PC.

Bluetooth speakers, headphones or Soundbars are reasonable.

There is no such thing as a 32" 4K TV for 5k. Just...no.

 

Most likely not even Full HD, but HD 720p.

Cost? A minimum of 1000 baht for an Android box. Examples:

Up to you for the monitor, as you can buy second hand or new, but you'll want one with an HDMI input. 

You haven't mentioned portability. If you need that, then of course you should consider a laptop or Tablet.

My 13 year old Dell Monitor had 3 USB ports, present Acer Monitor has 4, both were/are 32"

 

Both my old TV and present one Panasonic have USB ports

 

All fine for sound bars and webcam

 

NO idea about movies on a USB would they play guess format saved in ? is there a built in software [a media player]..  TV most newish ones have a  built media player

Most monitors don't have the ability to play video files from a USB

..hence the recommendation of the additional Android Box.
