I'm looking to buy a TV which I can setup to play slides (either from PowerPoint or perhaps Google slides), and would then mount the TV on the wall as a display frame.
Does anyone have any experience with this setup, and which TV would you recommend for this purpose?
Thanks very much inn advance.
Thanks so much for the reply.
Excuse my ignorance, but as I don't have muuch knowledge about TVs, do all TVs offer the display image function that you mentioned a soption 1?
Pretty much most modern TVs will. Sony's certainly do: https://www.sony.com.au/electronics/support/articles/0015500…

Samsung Frame.
As a TV it's horrible (low specs), but for your purpose it's probably exactly what you're after.
It looks like a hung picture frame.
Images can be displayed over a network or USB.
Option 1: Convert slides to images and use the display image function on TV to cycle through them.
Option 2: Convert slides to a video file and playback on repeat.
Option 3: Stream content via AirPlay/streaming device.
Option 4: Setup a NUC/Raspberry Pi etc to act as a permanent attached computer.
Which TV is irrelevant as long as has HDMI/USB input.
Some basic searching online will provide you plenty solutions.
