I am buying a Samsung Flatscreen TV which supports the playing of movies from a portable hard drive. The hard drive I want to buy has a capacity of 1.5 terabytes - is this too large a capacity for the TV to handle ?

What's the model number of the TV?
Though generally things like this require the drive to be formatted in FAT32, which has an upper volume limit of 2TB so you should be OK..
Couple of things to be aware of though are... firstly, windows can not format a drive in FAT32 above 32GB, so you'd have to either get a drive preformatted in FAT32 (most are) or use a special program (or another OS) to format the drive.... also the limit for one single file size on a FAT32 drive is 4GB.... so you wouldn't be able to play file over that size.
Also TVs normally have fairly specific requirements for the exact format of the file itself.
