How to Make Any Smart TV Display Art

There is no universal art mode, but many televisions and streaming devices can show a personal 16:9 image.

Find the available display mode

Look in the television manual for personal photos, gallery, ambient mode, screensaver or USB media. Confirm that the feature accepts your own images rather than only built-in content.

Use a native 16:9 file

A 3840 × 2160 JPG matches a 4K screen and avoids stretching. If the device applies a crop, preview the outer edges before leaving the image on display.

Protect the display

Use sleep timers, motion sensing, slideshows and screen-protection settings supplied by the manufacturer. Static-image guidance differs between LCD, OLED and other panel technologies.
