Any USB 2 stick will probably do but a USB 3 stick tends to be quicker even if the device only supports USB 2 speeds

You're assuming of course that the TVs in question will be able to play 4k videos via the TV's built-in media player. I can't comment on the very latest models but I do know that many only allow 4k via HDMI, or from or streaming apps such as Netflix or YouTube.

That's the one I have, it's fine in my home theater system but gets hot when left plugged into a Pc or laptop
Mine was getting that hot it was dosconnecting, not something you want when you are dealing with large files featuring customer orders etc. |
