Photos on a 4k TV
Apr 1, 2018 10:11:45 #
I need somebody to advise. I have a Nikon 7100 -> 24 mb photos (they should be more than 4k). I would like to see them in good quality, so I plan on buying a 4K TV (monitor) . Would I be able to see them without a 4k computer? (if I buy a computer monitor I would have to also buy a 4k computer....with a good graphic card = $$$)
My older TV has a USB port and I can see the slide show (NOT Power Point) from a flash drive which I plug in the USB port on the side of the TV set. I just use the TV controller and forward individual pictures or set a slide show by a TV controller. If you have tried this, your simple Yes or No answer will make it.
Yes, I can try it in the store, but today's sales people are not quite friendly nor knowledgeable .
Thank You

Yes. I have a Samsung TV that is a year old. It is "smart". I put full size JPEGs and 4K video on a thumb drive, plug it in and use the TV remote. I've not tried RAWs or TIFFs. I think it has to be JPEGs.
I also use video editing software to make 4K slide shows from RAWs. Premiere Elements reads RAWs, including Lightroom Develop adjustments recorded (optionally) in .xmp sidecar files.

Miro,
May I suggest you look at the "Magnolia" series of Samsung TV's. They are generally in a separate room near the
TV display in Best Buy. They are not blue shirt sales people. They are the high end people. I recently bought a Magnolia SUHD 4K 3D. Love it.

My new Samsung 4K smart tv just connects directly to to my laptop over WiFi and I can pull up any photo file that is on the laptop hard drive. I don’t think it matters what my laptop is capable of doing. The tv is just accessing the file and processing it for viewing just as it would if I plugged a usb drive into the port on the tv.

I have two 27” x 4K desktop color corrected monitors and one 4K LG 55” TV on the wall of my office that I can select as the 3rd monitor. You must have a video card that can handle 4K (like a high end gaming Navidia card, expensive but necessary) and the species for the amount of monitors that you use. My computer was recently updated and is basically a gaming or editing computer with extra ram. Although I have a very fast FIOS wifi that will work, it’s stoll not nearly as good as wired. I strongly suggest hard wiring the TV to the computer with a 4K rated HDMI or CAT6 cable (I use Crestron CAT6) and converter box that connects the box to the tv with a 4K rated short HDMI cable. You will be able to view whatever is going to your monitors, raw, JPEG, video etc. of course if your only using a thumb drive no wires are required but that’s limiting.

I don't use the TV for editing because I can't calibrate it well. I do have a computer that support 4K output but when I use the TV to view my images I made a USB thumb drive with the images of the right size and plug it into the TV. I use the TV only for slide show.

Clarifying. I only use my Samsung tv for viewing photos or videos that are on my computer. Any editing would need to be with a computer capable of handling the process.

I use the TV for viewing and selecting photos and videos to edit. I do not edit on the TV. Editing is done on the desktop 4K collet corrected monitors

TVs offer too much contrast. I've found it's nearly impossible to lower the contrast enough, same with digital projectors.

Windows 10 has drivers for 4K if you're going directly from your computer to a 4K TV. So does Apple. With a file on a USB, it doesn't matter. Save it to 720p or 1080p quality and it'll look great. I think. 😜

Two of us researched this problem two years ago for our club(800 strong) and found the 4K TVs offer a super picture. You do not need anything special in monitors or computers- do your best to produce a great JPEG photo. Make sure your photo on its longest side is over 2000 pixels so it will fill the screen. Tiffs, or Raw files will not show on the Samsung 4K TVs. You do not need to post process on the 4K TV as I mentioned, just do your best on your computer and the best photo will show up great on the TV.s. Our group purchased a second Samsung for our classes as the pictures are so good. Great For video also!! We have two 75" TVs and the photos shown will blow you out of your seat!! Good luck!

But are they better on a 4K TV as opposed to an 1080 HD TV ??
mine look pretty good on an HD 1080, is it worth the TV upgrade ??

Certainly the 4K TV will display an 8MP image while the 1080p TV only display 2MP image.

I purchased a Samsung 4K curved screen last year because it has a HDR setting for viewing photos. Prior to this I had always pulled back on the contrast for photos destined to displayed on a typical television. The HDR setting allows photo viewing that’s fairly close to a calibrated editing monitor.
