I have a Samsung 'smart' TV and, via wi-fi, it can access and display/play my PC's audio, video and image files. It quite simply let's me navigate to folders that contain these media and provides playback functionality.

NOTE : This TV functionality is NOT screen-mirroring or any similar remote-type ( e.g. Splashtop Remote Desktop) screen-share feature.

I have a Samsung tablet and would like to know if there is a way (software) to similarly access and display/play my PC's image, audio and video files.

thank you

Your tablet runs Android, right? You should be able to use an app like VLC to do what you want.
