Are you tired of complicated software and hardware setup to project your photos onto a TV? Well, we've got some good news for you! With your laptop's built-in software, you can easily create a full-screen slide show without needing any additional programs or adapters. In this article, we'll walk you through the simple steps on how to do it.

Firstly, if you want to see the filenames of your images, use QuickLook in normal view instead of Full Screen mode.

To start projecting your photos onto the TV, follow these steps:

1. Connect your laptop to the TV using an HDMI cable. This is a straightforward process that requires no additional software or hardware.

2. Move or copy the folder of JPEG copies to your laptop.

3. Choose File > Export to create JPEG copies in one folder. You can also put all the photos in a Collection and select that for easier navigation.

4. In Lightroom Classic, select all the photos you want to show.

That's it! Depending on what you'd like to do with the photos at the TV, there are different ways to achieve your goal. Whether you want to simply display them for a slideshow or make edits on the go, this method provides an easy and convenient way to project your photos onto a TV using your laptop's built-in software.
