VIZIO E3D420VX (Movie on a Thumb Drive?)

Hey guys! I just bought a 42″ VIZIO E3D420VX. I was wondering… Can I watch 720p movies put on a thumb drive in this thing? I can do it in the living room on the Samsung, That TV is always occupied, so I got my own for my room. I plugged it in and all they have in the manual is Photos and Music…But I’ve read somewhere that it only accepts like… WMV or MP4? Which, I don’t have any of my movies in these formats. If anyone has the tv and could explain how they stream movies via thumb drive please let me know!
Answer #1
Multimedia Support
Music (MP3): Yes
Photo (JPEG): Yes
Video (MPEG): No
DLNA: No
Taken directly from their website. I’ll have a look through the pdf manual for you.
Edit: The PDF Manual only mentions Music and Picture support, so you are gonna have to burn some DVDs or get a HTPC, sorry.
But, on the plus side, it’s a damn nice looking TV.

It’s an amazing tv! I just wish it had the support like the Samsung in our living room! Thank you for checking some more for me though! I got this tv for an amazing deal. 450 dollars on black friday! Basically, I was going for a 51″ Samsung and bought it at Target, before i left it didn’t fit in our car so we waited for a friend in a truck to come down, as we waited I noticed the TV was rocking back and forth in the box when we moved it…so I requested to take a look at it and sure enough the tv was shattered! But of course, they were extremely nice. The manager was very sorry about everything and of course, I didn’t go home with it so it was 100% their fault…so they gave me 25% off any TV from 51″ and lower! So I went with the Vizio, had 3D, APPs and other bells and whistles! Just doesn’t have video support … Gonna have to use a player that does or hook my pc up to it via HDMI and watch it that way!
