Playing Music on Your TV
Listening to your favourite songs has never been easier with the amount of music streaming services on the current market.

Using a TV for Artwork Displays
Your TV is usually the centrepiece of the room, so why not use it to display artwork when you’re not watching TV. From a roaring fire to a piece of art, you can display any image you desire on your TV screen.
Find a range of fireplace displays on apps such as YouTube on your TV to get yourself into the Christmas spirit and create the illusion of keeping warm during the winter months. YouTube offers many interactive videos of a crackling fire that you can show on your screen, creating a virtual fireplace in your own home. Netflix has also jumped on this trend and now offers a fireplace clip that you can stream using the app on your smart TV.
If you are feeling more sentimental this Christmas, many TVs, such as an OLED TV, offer the ability to display a personal photo slideshow. This feature can be enjoyed by the whole family and can be used to create even more memories as you flick through your photographs. So gather the entire family around the TV and take a look back at photos from the previous year, reliving memories with those you love. What could be better this Christmas!
Playing Games Through Your TV
There are many ways to play games through your TV, whether you choose video games or incorporate your favourite board game onto the big screen. For board games such as Monopoly, the brand has in recent years brought out versions that are interactive through your TV.
