Not plugged into my television yet as I do not have USB function. I am not gentle on technology and tend to hammer things hard 'figurativly speaking', so far Reads and writes everything I have given it and still comes back for more :) The bundled software also works like a charm to make the whole atching, reading & writing experince even sipler. Thanks Amazon for swift delivery and thanks to Samsung for making a unit that makes 3D accessable to all without the hefty price tag. |
