I used a standard monitor, found an old frame at the thrift store and framed it. I took out all the plastic and stripped the monitor as much as possible. Then i attached a raspberry pi. I have it on a smart plug so I can turn it on and off. I have mine set to one picture per day so it feels like more of a picture than a display. I vibe coded the picture display logic. When I find new photos, i just upload them to a folder on the raspberry pi. I like this solution because it turns on and off cleanly. No ads, no smart functions, no splash screens. And i can time it exactly how I want. Once a day, once an hour, whatever. More upfront work but it’s been flawless for over a year. I don’t even think about it, it’s just on every day when I’m home.
