DeviantArt on your TV

Many people now access the Web from a laptop computer. While laptops are now cheap and convenient, the screens are often small and rather reflective. So they do not offer the best way of viewing the high quality pictures on DeviantArt.

I recently discovered a way round this. Many newer TVs have a slot for connecting either an SD card or a USB stick. Also, many of the images on dArt have the download option enabled, so you can easily save a full-size version of the picture. Just copy your favourites to an SD card or memory stick and view them on the TV! Perhaps people are already doing this, but the idea does not seem to get much publicity. If not and you have a modern TV it's worth a try.

Obviously this will work for any pictures, such as your own holiday snaps. I have just been looking at my pictures of Edinburgh and they are certainly more impressive at the big size.


Another year nearly over, just two days to the winter solstice. Luckily this winter has so far not been as cold as the previous two. Wishing everyone well for 2012.
