Looking at new sets, all have HDMI inputs. Is an external hard drive
connected to laptop via USB fast enough to do DVD playback or will I
need to drag the file to the laptop hard drive for playback?
Thanks

We playback over our network on 100mbps cable (not even gigabit) and we
don't have issues with large (1.8GB) avi files made from our DVDs.
Direct cable connect is even better (as long as the USB port is
USB2/480Mbps, USB1.1 would suck, but it's very old now).
