How can I watch movies and serieses from my pc in my samsung tv without external hardrive?

the problem is when I try to watch videos larger then 4GB becasuse of the fat32 limitation or with movies that the subtitles are not merged with te video file.

Do you have a gaming console? I used to watch movies/tv that were on a PC via xbox 360 and ps3 which was hooked up to a TV. Can't remember exactly how (it was a few years ago) but the consoles and PC's were hooked up to the same modem/switch

Otherwise, if your TV has an ethernet port you can try to hook the TV up to the same modem as your PC's and do it that way... It might not work like that (i've never tried it) but I don't see why not

I thought by "PC" you meant that you had a desktop PC somewhere away from the TV such that they couldn't be hooked up via cable... If your laptop has HDMI, try what americanaudiophile mentioned. Or if they both have VGA ports you could try that but the quality will most likely look crappy

yes you right, I did meant that I have a desktop pc that I wanted to watch movies from in my tv.
I also have a laptop that have only vga so I don't want to lose any quality, I tought if there is any solution for that. I don't mind to buy a device that will solve that problem if it isn't too expensive.
I tought about a streamer at first but I don't sure if it will do the job.
