I have a YouTube account and set up my playlists. One of them is a series of videos showing the great art of the Impressionists. Watch as scene after scene of great art is shown on your high definition screen. Listen as classical music selections play in the background. Food for the eyes, ears and spirit.
Or watch episodes of your favorite shows. Or documentaries.
Or upload your own videos and show them on your big screen.
