What is the best/easiest way to show high quality LR images on an OLED TV? Thanks.

If it's a smart TV, you can post them on a web site and view them from that. You would have to look at your TV Menu to see what photo site is available. I've never done that because I don't want to move everything from Google Photos.

You can probably hook a HDMI cable from your computer to the TV and use it like a second monitor. That works well with a Mac if you have the right adapter. Some MacBook Pro's and MacPro's have built in HDMI ports which will also do the job. Then you can select Slide Show in LR and you should be good to go.

The TV should have HDMI input. If you have HDMI output on the computer it's easy. You can use adapter with display port or DVI. I don't think you can adapt VGA to HDMI.

If you have a long distance to connect up the TV to the computer, you can use an ACTIVE HDMI cable like this one: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13759
If you do go this route, be sure to hook up the cable the right way! They are unidirectional and will only work if you hook the "source" end to your computer and the other end to the display TV.

Most smart tvs have a usb port made just for things like showing photos from a memory stick if that is what you are wanting to do. The file system may be a little clunky but works if you take the time to learn it.

My samsung tv has a app for Windows that can display images from my computer the tv via WiFi (maybe Bluetooth). Church what your tv offers. It is fun to interrupt my granddaughters tv shows with a short video or set of stills of themselves.

I can do that with my Sony android TV also but it only displays at 1920x1080. Using the HDMI directly to the TV input I can get 4K which is 3840x2160.

I have an OLED and currently use Apple TV screen mirroring. Have also used an Amazon Firestick, memory stick via USB, and DVI converter in the past.
