For those that love to show pictures in their home, there has always been the option to print out pictures, frame them, and put them up on the wall. It gets even easier with the ability to send them directly to a printer. However, displaying digital photos in various ways has become increasingly popular because of the vivid colors and ability to change screens at any time. There are some methods to start, and while the technological savvy can likely figure it out, having a professional step in is always a good option, and one that Alair Homes London highly recommends.

Learning Digital Display Methods

What is chosen to use to display photos is based on the user’s experience with different technologies. Once the technician comes in and completes the initial set-up, learn how to change the display so that you can become more comfortable with the process over time.

Television

Most homeowners have a television somewhere in the home, and most likely in the central living area where it’s going to be seen. It’s for this reason that televisions are an excellent way to display digital photos in various ways. While the Apple TV can allow the user to sign in and then begin choosing photos to display, many won’t want to buy a whole new system just to show off their pictures.

Gaming Systems

However, even without an Apple TV, other systems can connect to a television, store pictures, and then stream digital photos on the screen. While gaming systems are primarily used for gaming, they also give the option for storage of things such as music and photos. It’s easy to log in, access the storage, show pictures off of friends and family during a family event, and even play light music during dinner.

Smartphones or Tablets

Another option for showing pictures on the television is by using an app from a smartphone or other devices that connect to wifi. Open the corresponding application and direct it to display the photos on the desired screen.

Television Streamers

Lastly, you can use other technologies such as Chromecast, Amazon Fire, or Roku Express. These streamers are on what looks like a thumb drive that connects to the back of the TV. While they offer far more than displaying pictures, they also have many apps that will allow you to access your photos on cloud storage systems.

Digital Photo Frames

A smaller option, or even an additional option, to displaying photos is to use a digital frame. While the way photos upload differ, the end results are the same. They hold a certain number of pictures (usually ranging from 50 to 300), and they will go through each photo at the rate that you set. Having a digital photo frame is an engaging way to display photos because the photos are always changing and will keep guests waiting for the next photo

Screen Savers

Lastly, smartphones and most computers have a screensaver that comes on to increase life on your PC screen and improve security. Instead of having the assigned screensaver, there is the option to change it to stream different photos that are on your computer or phone. They’re always changing, and it’s much better than looking at the same thing every day.

The costs range depending on what method you’ve decided on, with the more expensive options being the Apple TV and other similar devices for your television. While the setup may take a little time, it’s worth it in the long run and easy to change after set up.
