Good morning
Not finding the answer anywhere, not even in the electronic manual, I'm reaching out to anyone who owns this TV...
The TV has 3 USB ports, of which 1 is different: 2 are "5V 0.5 A" and 1 is "HDD 5V 1A". If there is a difference, what is it?

Thank you in advance for your "insights".

Good evening...

Given what is written, it seems that the only difference is in the allowed power: 0.5 ampere for the 2 identical ones, probably for USB sticks or something of the sort, and 1 ampere to connect a hard drive (HDD) which, since it operates with a motor, consumes more than the USB sticks... Connecting USB sticks at 1 ampere won't be an issue, however, connecting a hard drive at 0.5 won't work.

Best regards,

Thank you, but isn't there a risk of damaging the equipment that operates at 0.5 A if we connect it to 1.0 A?
