Samsung’s Frame TV is beautiful and expensive. When it’s not in use, it displays works of art. But if you have smart TV already, you can accomplish something similar with an app or Chromecast. Here’s how.
三星的Frame TV既美观又昂贵。 不使用时会显示艺术品。 但是,如果您已经拥有智能电视,则可以使用应用或Chromecast完成类似的操作。 这是如何做。
Of course, your TV will use more power if it’s displaying images instead of powered off. That’s the point of Samsung’s Frame TV, too: Rather than showing an empty black screen or a garish home screen, you can display art or photos instead. Whether it’s a Roku, Chromecast, or Fire TV, you can approximate the Frame TV experience.
当然,如果电视显示图像而不是关闭电源,则电视将使用更多功率。 这也是三星Frame TV的重点:您可以显示艺术品或照片,而不是显示空白的黑屏或华丽的主屏幕。 无论是Roku,Chromecast还是Fire TV,您都可以估算出Frame TV的体验。
选择图像 (Choosing Your Images)
Before you continue, think about what you want to show on your TV. Some of the solutions below offer built-in art gallery modes that will automatically provide beautiful art for you, so you won’t have to fuss over images.
在继续之前,请考虑一下要在电视上显示的内容。 以下某些解决方案提供了内置的画廊模式,这些模式将自动为您提供精美的艺术品,因此您不必大惊小怪。
If you’re using your own photos, remember that selfies, photos you’ve taken in portrait orientation, and old film shots you digitized with a scanner likely wouldn’t look good blown up to your 40+ inch horizontal TV.
如果您使用自己的照片,请记住,用40英寸以上的水平电视机炸毁的自拍照,以人像方向拍摄的照片以及用扫描仪进行数字化处理的旧胶卷可能看起来不太好。
But if you’re confident you have plenty of horizontally orientated images taken at high resolution, you should go through them and choose the best of the bunch. If you’re using a Chromecast, you’ll load your photos to Google Photos. For FireTVs you’ll upload to Amazon Photos. Roku TVs can use either images from your phone or Google Photos. And Apple TVs use iCloud storage for their screensavers. Regardless of the platform, we recommend creating a dedicated album named “TV slideshow” so you can easily remember and find it.
但是,如果您有信心以高分辨率拍摄了大量水平取向的图像,则应仔细阅读并选择最佳的图像。 如果您使用的是Chromecast,则会将照片加载到Google相册。 对于FireTV,您将上传到Amazon Photos。 Roku电视可以使用手机中的图像或Google相册。 苹果电视将iCloud存储用于屏保。 无论使用哪种平台,我们都建议您创建一个名为“电视幻灯片”的专用专辑,以便您轻松记住和查找它。
Just keep in mind any storage limits you may face when loading high-resolution images to Google Photos, iCloud photos, and Amazon Photos. Google Photos offers unlimited storage for photos if you let it reduce the size of the picture. If you want full resolution, you only have 16 GBs for free. Amazon Photos gives Prime subscribers unlimited storage space, and everyone else 5 GB’s of space. iCloud offers five GBs of free space and charges $1 a month for 50 GBs of space.
只需记住将高分辨率图像加载到Google Photos , iCloud照片和Amazon Photos时可能遇到的任何存储限制。 如果您允许Google图片缩小图片尺寸,则可以为它们提供无限的存储空间。 如果要全分辨率,则只有16 GB的免费空间 。 Amazon Photos为Prime订户提供了无限的存储空间,其他所有人则拥有5 GB的空间 。 iCloud提供5 GB的可用空间,每月收取1美元即可获得50 GB的空间。
If you’re looking for inspiration, check out the Art Institution of Chicago, which hosts high-resolution images of famous artwork, or you could use images from NASA. Family photos that fit everyone in the frame will most likely work well too.
如果您正在寻找灵感,请访问芝加哥艺术学院 ,该学院收藏着著名艺术品的高分辨率图像,或者您可以使用NASA的图像 。 适合每个人的家庭照片也很可能也能很好地工作。
如何使用Roku显示图像 (How to Display Images with Roku)
We think Roku is one of your best options for a Smart TV. If you have one, you can easily display Google Photo albums on your TV, and even set up a screensaver effect to start the album slideshow after a period of activity.
我们认为Roku是智能电视的最佳选择之一 。 如果有的话,您可以轻松地在电视上显示Google相册,甚至还可以设置屏幕保护程序效果,以在一段时间的活动后开始相册幻灯片播放。
You have two options with most Roku TVs: Choose photos from your phone, or install the Photo View channel.
大多数Roku电视都有两种选择:从手机中选择照片,或安装照片查看频道。
If you want to use photos on your phone, open the Roku iOS or Android app, and tap on the Photos+ option at the bottom of the screen.
如果要在手机上使用照片,请打开Roku iOS或Android应用程序,然后点击屏幕底部的Photos +选项。
Choose the screensaver option, then the album you created with the photos you’d like to display. Once you’ve selected the images you want the screensaver to show, you should start seeing them appear on the screen right away. The downside is, you’ll have to update this group of photos manually with the Roku app whenever you want to make changes.
选择屏幕保护程序选项,然后选择创建的相册以及要显示的照片。 选择了要让屏幕保护程序显示的图像后,您应该开始看到它们立即出现在屏幕上。 缺点是,每当您要进行更改时,都必须使用Roku应用程序手动更新这组照片。
Alternatively, you could use Google Photos to power your Roku screensaver. The benefit is, you can change out what photos display from any computer, tablet, or phone. All you have to do is add or remove photos from the connected album.
另外,您可以使用Google相册为Roku屏幕保护程序供电。 好处是,您可以更改任何计算机,平板电脑或手机上显示的照片。 您所要做的就是从连接的相册中添加或删除照片。
To display a Google Photo album screensaver, you will need to install the Photo View channel. Open it, and follow the prompts to sign in with your Google account (through the sign in with Google feature).
要显示Google相册的屏幕保护程序,您需要安装“ 照片查看”频道 。 打开它,然后按照提示使用您的Google帐户登录(通过使用Google功能登录)。
Once you have Photo View installed, you can choose an album to pull images from, set Photo View as Roku’s screen saver, and even adjust the amount of time before the screensaver starts, all from Roku’s settings. Go to Settings > ScreenSaver > Change Screensaver. Then pick the PhotoView option. Settings > ScreenSaver > Change wait time let you change the amount of time before a screensaver starts, doublecheck that it’s not disabled.
一旦安装了Photo View,就可以从Roku的设置中选择一个相册来从中提取图像,将Photo View设置为Roku的屏幕保护程序,甚至调整屏幕保护程序启动之前的时间。 转到设置>屏幕保护程序>更改屏幕保护程序。 然后选择PhotoView选项。 设置>屏幕保护程序>更改等待时间可让您更改屏幕保护程序启动前的时间,请仔细检查是否未禁用它。
We recommend you create a dedicated album in Google Photos, and load either images of artwork you like or some of NASA’s amazing still shots of space. In any case, you should curate an album specifically for your TV. Portrait orientated photos, selfies, and so on likely won’t display very nicely on a large television. Family photos, on the other hand, can work well provided they are oriented horizontally.
我们建议您在Google相册中创建一个专用相册,然后加载您喜欢的艺术品的图像或NASA 令人惊叹的太空静止照片 。 无论如何,您都应该为电视策划一个专辑。 纵向肖像的照片,自拍照等在大型电视上可能无法很好地显示。 另一方面,如果家庭照片水平放置,则可以很好地工作。
如何使用FireTV显示图像 (How to Display Images with FireTV)
Amazon’s FireTV doesn’t have access to Google Photos, unfortunately. But it does have its own easy to use options. If you like the idea of photos of nature displaying on your television, Amazon already has everything you need in place. All you need to do is turn on the screensaver option and accept all defaults.
不幸的是,亚马逊的FireTV无法访问Google相册。 但是它确实有其易于使用的选项。 如果您喜欢在电视上显示自然照片的想法,那么亚马逊已经准备好了您需要的一切。 您需要做的就是打开屏幕保护程序选项并接受所有默认设置。
But if you want more control, and would rather make your own custom album of artwork or family photos, you just need to download the Amazon Photos iOS or Android app. Or sign in on the web. Amazon Photos offers unlimited storage for Prime users or 5 GB’s of space for everyone else.
但是,如果您想要更多控制权,并且希望自己制作艺术品或家庭照片的自定义相册,则只需下载Amazon Photos iOS或Android应用程序。 或登录网络 。 Amazon Photos为Prime用户提供了无限的存储空间,或为其他所有人提供了5 GB的空间。
Once you log in, upload the photos you prefer and create a folder for them. On your FireTV, go to screen saver settings and change the source to your album. Customize any other settings you want, such as timing, and you’re all ready to enjoy art on your TV.
登录后,上传您喜欢的照片并为其创建一个文件夹。 在FireTV上,转到屏幕保护程序设置,然后将源更改为您的相册。 自定义所需的任何其他设置,例如计时,您就可以在电视上欣赏艺术品了。
如何使用Chromecast显示图像 (How to Display Images with Chromecast)
Chromecast may be the easiest option if you want to display art—and it’s relatively easy to customize with photos as well. Chromecast’s screensaver feature works exactly like the Google Nest Hub’s ambient screen (formerly known as Google Home Hub) and uses the same controls.
如果您想展示艺术品,Chromecast可能是最简单的选择,并且使用照片进行自定义也相对容易。 Chromecast的屏幕保护程序功能与Google Nest Hub的环境屏幕 (以前称为Google Home Hub)完全一样,并且使用相同的控件。
To display art, open the Google Home app and find your Chromecast device. Tap on it, tap Ambient mode, tap Art Gallery, and then you’re done.
要显示艺术品,请打开Google Home应用并找到您的Chromecast设备。 点击它,再点击环境模式,再点击Art Gallery,然后就完成了。
If you would rather display family photos or images you’ve taken, you’ll want to load them to a specific gallery in Google Photos. Then choose that Google Photos Album in the Ambient settings.
如果您希望显示自己拍摄的家庭照片或图像,则希望将其加载到Google相册中的特定图库中。 然后在环境设置中选择该Google相簿。
Regardless of the method you use, displaying art or photos on your TV will only look good if your TV is up to the task and the images you choose look great in large formats. As long as you have those two aspects covered, any method you choose should lead to great results.
无论使用哪种方法,只有在电视能够胜任工作并且您选择的图像以大格式显示时,在电视上显示艺术品或照片才会看起来不错。 只要涵盖了这两个方面,您选择的任何方法都应会产生很好的效果。
如何使用Apple TV显示照片 (How to Display Photos with Apple TV)
If you have an Apple TV, you’re in luck as the device natively supports screensavers created from your iCloud photos.
如果您拥有Apple TV,那么您会很幸运,因为该设备本机支持根据iCloud照片创建的屏保 。
Once your photos are in iCloud, you’ll want to turn on iCloud integration in your Apple TV’s settings options. When you turn iCloud on, it will ask if you’d like to turn on Photo Stream and use that as a screensaver. You can choose yes, but if you made a specific album as we suggested above, then you’ll want to choose not to use Photo Stream as a screensaver.
将照片放入iCloud后,您将需要在Apple TV的设置选项中打开iCloud集成。 打开iCloud时,它将询问您是否要打开Photo Stream并将其用作屏幕保护程序。 您可以选择“是”,但是如果您按照上面的建议制作了特定的相册,那么您将选择不使用Photo Stream作为屏幕保护程序。
Instead, you’ll go to the screen saver options in your Apple TV’s settings dialog, choose Photos, and then iCloud. Here, you’ll be given a choice of what album to use.
相反,您将转到Apple TV的设置对话框中的屏幕保护程序选项,选择“照片”,然后选择“ iCloud”。 在这里,您可以选择要使用的专辑。
使用USB或Plex (Using USB or Plex)
Many smart TV platforms have USB ports or Plex apps you can use to display screensavers with. You’ll need to load up your photos to either a USB drive or to your Plex server, and then add them as an option for a screensaver.
许多智能电视平台都有USB端口或Plex应用程序,可用于显示屏幕保护程序。 您需要将照片加载到USB驱动器或Plex服务器上,然后将它们添加为屏幕保护程序的选项。
If your main interface is your Plex server, then you’ll want to set up a personal album to set as a screensaver. But depending on the smart TV, you may need to go into the TV’s screensaver settings and find an option to use either USB or Plex as the source of the photos.
如果您的主要界面是Plex服务器,那么您将需要设置一个个人相册以设置为屏幕保护程序 。 但是,取决于智能电视,您可能需要进入电视的屏幕保护程序设置,并找到一个使用USB或Plex作为照片来源的选项。
