I have some movies backed up my computer. How could I access them from my networked TV (Samsung UN55D7000)?

It has browser capability, but not really a Windows O/S.

You need a DNLA server program on your computer to serve the videos up to your TV.

Windows 7: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/e7/archive/2009/05/12/media-streaming-with-windows-7.aspx It's free, so at least try it.

Commercial option (also includes on-the-fly transcoding, so you can watch on a phone/iToy/PSP/etc.)

Perhaps the best choice (for me at least) is go get a DNLA compatible NAS (Network Attached Storage). This is a hard drive that plugs into your network - not only a great way to share files, but most of these will take care of serving stuff to your devices and TV's without costing CPU cycles at your computer.

My home router has a DNLA server built into it. I just got a USB stick and stuck it in there - anything I want to watch is copied to stick and is viewable on TV/PS3/XBOX360/WesternDigital TV Live.

Several options for you to try out.
