There are several ways to enjoy videos, music and photos saved on your PC on the ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 65" Class (64.5" Diagonal) Prime 4K UHD Smart LED TV w/ webOS 2.0, Model # 65UF6800 bundles Screen Share and Content Share functionality under the advertised SmartShare feature. SmartShare is LG's name for DLNA. Content Share allows you to enjoy videos, music and photos saved on your PC and if the computer operating system is Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can play music, video, or photos on your TV without installing an additional program. Configure the TV and PC on the same network. Also configure the network on the PC installed with Windows 7 or Windows 8. Right-click the desired music, video, or photo file, and select the model using the Play To function provided in Windows 7 or Windows 8 to play what is selected. To play on other devices like your mobile phone, refer to the relevant user guide. If your PC supports Intel® WiDi and it supports connections over the Intel® WiDi 3.5 version, you can start the Screen Share app on the TV then start Intel® WiDi on the device you want to connect. Your TV will be displayed in the list of available devices and you can select your TV to request a connection, and a message asking you to enter an 8-digit PIN will appear on the TV screen. Enter the PIN and select Connect. After the connection is established, the TV will display the screen of the connected device. Intel® WiDi allows connections without a wireless router. For the best possible performance, connect your device to a 5 GHz router. You can also use SmartShare PC Software or Smartphone to connect the music/videos/photos saved on the PC to your home network and play them on your TV. Configure the TV and device (e.g., smartphone) installed with SmartShare on the same network. The SmartShare service is only available when the TV and all the devices are connected to a single router. If you are using a PC, download and install SmartShare PC Software from the website. Before installation, exit all programs running on the PC, such as a firewall or an anti-virus software. The server should be running in order to watch the shared file on your TV. To watch the 1080p video through Content Share function, a router that uses 5 GHz frequency is required. If a 2.4 GHz router is used, the video may not play properly. The Content Share function may not be supported for a router that does not support multi-cast. For more information, refer to the user guide that came with your router or contact the manufacturer. DRM files in the connected device will not play and there are too many folders or files in a folder, it may not work properly. Depending upon the encoding, some streams may not play in content sharing mode and information on the file imported from the connected device may not be displayed correctly...^IFV
