When I pulled my cards for the first time this year a light bulb went off in my head. We just got a new 60" plasma tv a couple months ago and I remembered it had a USB port in the side. So I grabbed my wife's USB card reader and ohhh man there's nothing like looking at trail cam pics on a 60" flat screen tv.

I have a 50 inch plasma at home .it actually has a memory card slot. I always wait till I get home to check mine just because it's so much better. When you go through 1200 pictures in the woods you get bit by skeeters a lot.. so I take extra memory card and just swap them out. In N Out in just a few minutes.

Just out of curiosity, how do you move through the pictures if you attach an SD card directly to the TV? Is there a way to use the remote, or are there buttons on the TV to control the pictures?
When I plug mine in it pops up a window with option for pics, video, or music. Choose pictures then the dcim file pops up choose it then all your pics pop up. You can choose which one you want to view or go through it slide show. My tv even give a 2x and 4x zoom which is really nice. The only downside is you can't delete from the tv.

Thanks BDL. I'll see if my HD flat-screens have that option.

You can use the remote. Problem is with thousands of pics. That would take all night. Here in about a month when cameras are over scrapes with less pics, it's worth it to see it on the big screen
On my tv you can choose what ever pic you want to look at with the remote. You don't have to go through it in slideshow mode. All of the images show up on the screen just like a computer. You can start at the first pic or the 100th or the last. I just use the arrow on the remote to get to the pic I want hit OK then it pops up full size on the TV.
I have a pioneer radio/dvd player in the jeep that has USB and SD slots. We sit right beside the camera and view the pictures
My laptop will attach to my 50" Flat screen. You can really see a lot of detail on a trail cam picture that is almost life size.
