I'm looking to replace our workplace bulletin board with a digital display that can showcase photos and videos. We often print posters with event outcomes, and it would be great to have all that content visible in one spot. I'm unsure where to start when it comes to choosing a wall-mounted display. Ideally, I want something I can plug a USB drive into for easy picture swapping, along with the occasional video. Any advice on what I need to set this up or what to avoid would be really helpful!

Don’t forget to grab a mounting bracket for your TV if you go that route. You can find those at electronics stores, and they make installation pretty easy.
The best bet might be to go for a TV with a low-cost media player. It’ll play your slideshows and videos on a loop, and updating it is a breeze—just swap out the USB stick with your new files whenever you need to.
It really depends on the size you're looking for. You can easily get a 55" or 65" 4K TV for around $300 nowadays. Most smart TVs have USB ports that allow you to directly display photos. Just make sure to check the specs while shopping!
Yeah, most modern smart TVs support Bluetooth, so you should have no problem streaming from devices!
If you're on a tight budget, consider using digital picture frames instead! They're usually less expensive and can still provide good displays for photos. For a more advanced option, look into e-displays, which are a bit pricier but offer great features.
Thanks for the tips!
Another straightforward approach is to repurpose an old laptop and a monitor. You can create a PowerPoint presentation to run all day long with your images cycling through! It's a simple solution that might save some cash.
Would these TVs work with Bluetooth too? I’m a bit out of my depth here—last TV we got was ages ago and we’ve never done wall mounting.
