About OLED
OLED televisions offer exceptional images at exceptionally high prices. OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. Each pixel in an OLED display is made of a material that glows when you jab it with electricity. Kind of like the heating elements in a toaster, but with less heat and better resolution. This effect is called electroluminescence, which is one of those delightful words that is big, but actually makes sense: “electro” for electricity, “lumin” for light and “escence” for, well, basically “essence.”
Maybe you just bought a new LG OLED TV and were wondering whether you can play iTunes M4V movies on LG OLED TV via USB port. The answer is No. You can’t install iTunes onto any LG OLED TV or Smart TV, and movies purchased from iTunes store cannot play on LG TV.

Why do iTunes M4V videos not work on LG OLED TV
There are two reasons why purchase or downloaded iTunes movies cannot play on the LG OLED TV.
1. Videos purchased from iTunes store are protected by Apple DRM, which prevents you from playing the files on non-Apple devices or players. LG OLED TV is no exception! What you need to do is to remove DRM protection from iTunes videos before transferring them to LG OLED TV.
2. M4V is not supported by LG OLED TV. According to the official site, Nook color only supports the playback of MP4 and Adobe Flash Player video files. So in order to play M4V on Nook Color, you will need to convert iTunes M4V videos to LG OLED TV compatible video files like H.264 MP4.
