Must it be connected to a computer or TV, or does it project directly from a USB thumb drive?

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Yes. You can use it similar to a wireless projector. Once you connect it to your TV, everything you do on your computer/laptop will be shown on the TV

Yes It will connect to your computer to the TV. I have tried that as well tried to connect computer to projector as well. I did not had any issue.

This drive is a PC peripheral. Your computer would need to connect to your TV.

it is not a usb device it is a video adapter to go from vga to display port on a TV or projector

Yes! It has a USB port. This is my primary mode of projecting images for large format uses with this projector. Put image on USB drive, plug USB drive into projector, and open!

I'm not sure what pendrive is, but I know that the projector has to be connected to something through Hdmi in order to project an image

If you want to connect it directly to the TV with the USB cable then yes. The better way to connect to the TV is with the Samsung All Cast Dongle or Chromecast.

That I don't know. I've only streamed from the internet. I believed it has the capability to hook it up to the TV and view things, but I'm not sure about that. If it can play music and open the USB, I don't see why it couldn't do that too.

I have had it hooked up to the optical output of a macmini or an appletv and it worked just fine. Never tried the USB connection.

No it does not. It does have a USB connector. So you can use a USB drive with the Projector.

**edit** They linked the wrong product sorry; you connect the A/V cables to the TV, and then the USB cable to a PC. The PC stores the video files. You'd have to stream the video from your computer to the television.

unless it has new native software updates within it, it is plugged into a usb connector and functions through the computer imaging software system. Newer "smart tvs" may have some ability to interface with graphics transfer. I believe you still need a computer at this time. Ours works with a laptop.

This device is able to connect to any pc, video recorder, etc. as long as you have the correct connectors (not included). When projecting from a laptop, the picture is very pixelated. Text is virtually unreadable & increasingly gets worse as the projection is enlarged.

To the best of my knowledge a USB port always functions as exit and an entrance. My PC doesn't connect to the TV as well that's why I got this device (August VGB100). Simply connect the device to your PC through the USB end, install the software which arrives with the device, connect the TV/VCR/Camera with a RCA cable and digitalize your shows.

To be very honest with you I do not think the mini-usb port in back of the projector is for an external hard drive. I have several HD'S and none of them have a mini-usb-cable. ON page 9 of the owner's manual all it shows is the mini-usb cable to a lap-top. The usb button on the remote is non-working. A better bet would be to hook your external hard drive to a BD player w/a usb port or get a Western Digital media Center and you could connect your HD to the Media Center, either way your movies will be going through the HDMI cable which should give you a better picture than a straight usb cable to the projector.

It's for storage devices and smartphones only; it doesn't allow projection from a computer via USB.
