Best way to watch MKV Blu-ray rips from PC to TV

I keep hearing about how smart TVs can connect remotely to your PC’s hardrive and play it that way but I just want to know what provides the best quality.” 

Actually, there are so many ways to help you stream MKV Blu-ray rips from PC to TV. 

1. If the picture quality is the primary thing then probably connecting a USB drive to the TV is the best. The problem with this is the TV may not have the codecs for playing the .mkv files that you extracted from Blu-ray. You can check the owners manual or just try it. 

2. Same problem may apply for playback over the network into the TV. You can use your laptop or a media box like the Western Digital to play these files and should get fine quality from both if the laptop video is good with 1080p. 

3. Put all Your files on a NAS (Network Attached Storage device) and server them to every TV in the house, using networked HDMPs on every TV. 

4. If you have a Chromecast and a TV Box with built-in Chromecast, like NVIDIA SHIELD, you can cast your mkv Blu-ray rips from PC to TV via Chromecast. 

5. Run a HDMI (or other) cable from Your PC to Your TV. 

6. Build a dedicated Home Theater PC (HTPC) 

However, as the said in method 1, problem may happens because the TV may not have the codecs for playing the .mkv files come from Blu-ray. No matter which way you want to try, you’d better convert MKV to TV more supported format in order that the video format affect the testing result.
