Hi there,

 

If you are looking at the Samsung TV found here: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-32-720p-lcd-hdtv-ln32c350-ln32c350d1dxzc/1014..., then it appears that the answer is no (if you look through the product description, you'll see that under Movie Playback, it says no.

 

However, if you are looking at this Samsung: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-32-lcd-hdtv-ln32c540-future-shop-exclusive-ln..., then you should indeed be able to view movies from your hard drive (assuming they are in the correct format - namely DIVX, H.264, Windows Media Video and MPEG4).

 

I hope that helps, but feel free to join the forums and let us know if you have any other questions!
