Where do you use to display your photos,on the screen of tv or pc?My husband(doesn't like pc) asked me many times to show him the photos
but our DVD doesn't play CDs,so i have to transfer the photos from the CDs to the DVDs.
Do you use to watch your photos on the screen of the tv with the family or friends? :)

On the monitor only and sometimes I print the very good ones.
What we need is the digital frame like at http://www.imaging-resource.com/ACCS/SF/SF.HTM
It is an old article and the products are becoming less expensive now.

We usually view them on the PC, and I email many photos to family and friends since we no longer live near them or some are in other countries. My parents especially enjoy pictures of their grandchildren. I also print my favorites and mail them with cards or letters. When I take pictures of an event (birthday party, school event, etc.) I make a CD for the person to choose their own favorites. :)

Another option would be a portable dvd player. Most of them that I have seen will show jpeg pictures and the price has really come down on these. I have used ours to show photos (on a cd) and it worked really well.

I view most of mine on my pc. Sometimes I use our wide screen TV when there are a lot of people to see them.
