In this video I will show you how to repurpose an old monitor into a digital picture frame that will blow any other digital picture frame you can buy out of the water. I know that mine doesn’t have a frame but I just don’t have time right now to build one and for now I like the way it look as it is right now.
It helped me ty!
Thank you so much, this is AWESOME! And so easy!
Do you need to run it on WIFI though? I have a funeral to do and the place might not have wifi. Thanks.
Kind of expensive way to go if you don't already have a fire stick and TV.
what is that ''amazon'' behind monitor?
Really enjoy it. Let's check woodprix plans also.
Enjoy woodprix woodworking instructions.
this is brilliant! now just add motion sensing so the TV shuts off when nobody is there
You can use woodprix, it has the best handbooks and ready instructions. You can learn much from them and make it yourself.
this is awesome!
Any advice for me? I’m trying to turn a monitor into a digital picture frame. I bought a media player (MICCA Speck G2) but then realized my monitor does but have an HDMI or A/V port. I then went & bought a HDMI – DVI-1 cable so I could connect them. But nothing is happening on my screen! HELP please!!
Thank you for the video, I was trying to do this myself for our massage room, a relaxing slide show going of nature, ocean etc… any way to add a small speaker to it for nature sounds ?
Can you tell me which model/generation Fire Stick that you used? There are several models out there; the most current works with Alexa….don't think that is what you used…was thinking I could find the older model on ebay….
Great idea. Too bad my old monitors don't have HDMI ports. I'm hoping a simple HDMI to DVI adapter will do the trick.
I'm gonna do this over Christmas. Like you, I got a $20 Fire stick back when. Also got a cheap 1st gen Chromecast which I never used, and maybe that's the way to go if it'll revert to a screensaver more easily.
Hope to hook the setup to HomeKit via a WeMo switch or something so maybe it won't have to run 24/7. My phone, a wall switch, or my voice via Alexa can then all control it, and make it timed if I want. We'll see.
Would love to add a motion sensor on top of that, but one thing at a time.
Did you build the frame and tuck the wires? Would love to see a linked pic if you did.
Does the Fire remote advance the pictures?
Thanks. Can't believe you've only gotten 500 views.
I am thinking of doing this same thing but with a Chromecast. The reason being that a Chromecast will automatically go into screensaver mode, so I can hook up a day/night or motion sensor – that way it will not be on 24/7. I just wish it didn't result in so many cords, but HDMI doesn't allow enough power to run the Chromecast by itself.
