For an explanation and examples of why the original BillionDollarArtGallery collection does not fill the full TV screen, please click here.
Full Screen Art Directory
Since the beginning of 2024, the BillionDollarArtGallery ships with a directory of paintings that have been cropped to fill the full screen. This is a response to customers who want something to make their TV more attractive and also to users of the Samsung Frame TV, which tends to exhibit art cropped for the full screen.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FULL SCREEN ART
If you love art, you would probably not consider full-screen, cropped paintings the genuine article. Painters have never painted for TVs (though they may soon.) da Vinci's Mona Lisa displays only the face when cropped for a full-screen TV. However, we have done our best to include wider paintings that do not require the severe cropping of a portrait like the Mona Lisa.
Are Full Screen Paintings the same paintings in the BillionDollarArtGallery?
Some are, but we have also drawn on wider paintings from Great Art for Kids, and the forthcoming BillionDollarArtGallery 2. Of the 500 Full Screen paintings, about 400 are not included in the original BillionDollarArtGallery.
Is there a video for the Full Screen, Cropped Paintings?
No. The cropped paintings are designed to play as a slideshow or to load into a Samsung Frame TV.
2024 File Structure
You will find the full screen paintings in their own directory. Grouping by directory makes it easy for customers to repeat whichever content they prefer. For example, you can repeat the main video in the root directory or repeat all the full-screen paintings in the Full Screen Cropped directory.
