Photofanatic Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I want to make a slideshow to view on a 32" fllat screen TV - I have made a previous one and downsized large images taken on a Nikon D90 to 600x800px and 240pix/inch but when viewed on the TV they seemed very 'over saturated' - not out of focus exactly but fine detail didnt really show too well. I was expecting a little better quality than what I got! Is there a better size and res for a flat screen TV? The actual screen dimensions are 71cm x 39cm.

davegee Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Connect laptop to TV (preferably via HDMI/DVI).Use 1920x1080 images in a 1920x1080 fullscreen show.Check your TV settings - sometimes there is a colour/contrast/brightness setting specifically for computer - don't use "vivid".DaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photofanatic Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 how are you putting them on tv?kenI am creating a DVD of the slideshow but I am unsure about what settings to put the software on - ie progressive interlaced etc My main concern though is what to size my images to for a 32" flat screen monitor (and also a 16:9 laptop monitor) and also what resolution to set them at?? (72 seems a bit low for a good quality TV monitor Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davegee Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 No, DVD will always give you the results that you have seen.Use 1024x768 high quality images and don't worry about their resolution (ppi) - that's only applicable to printing.For best quality, I repeat:Connect laptop to TV (preferably via HDMI/DVI).Use 1920x1080 images in a 1920x1080 fullscreen show.Check your TV settings - sometimes there is a colour/contrast/brightness setting specifically for computer - don't use "vivid".DaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
