After much deliberation and several weeks, I decided that I might as well replace my dead tv with a new generation model. This new thing comes with surprises (to me) such as Internet connectivity, 3D possibility etc. and I have had the pleasant experience (again, to me) of seeing my own website at far higher magnification than my normal monitor allows.
So why post this Earth-shattering piece of information here? In the hope that someone here has the knowledge of what would be the best size of files (Jpegs) from my pictures that I can play through the DVD player and tv system in order to fill the screen at the best quality. Would vertical shots be the same file dimensions as the horizontals but be self-corrected to fit the screen, or would they have to be made smaller to match the height of the horizontal images?
The resolution of the tv set is, it says, 1920x1080.
This request for information hasn’t anything to do with the website image sizes, just the optimum size/resolution of image/format I should use to make special files for tv viewing on my unit. (The manual advises against displaying still images for any length of time in order to prevent damage to the system; it also warns about station logos for the same reason, but if channels insist on advertising themselves, what’s to be done?)
I can’t think of a better spot within LuLa to post this, but if anyone has a better idea, please advise!
