Please note that Ambient Art: Impressionism always preserves the dimensions of the paintings. Unless an artist happened to create a work that exactly fits the dimensions of modern day televisions, you will see black borders either along the top or along the sides of each image.
Mode #2: Movie Mode
If you're looking for more than a TV screensaver or art for your plasma TV, try movie mode.
Movie Mode is not a slideshow. It includes pans and zooms over each artist's works. It does not display a static image like in slideshow mode.
You can choose to watch one artist's movie or all of the artists' movies. You also have two audio options: (1) classical music only or (2) music and audio commentary. Audio commentary informs you about each artist's life and work.
Mode #3: Favorite Painting Mode
Favorite Painting Mode was designed to turn your TV into a virtual painting. If you're looking for a single piece of art for your plasma tv, this is the setting to use. Use the intuitive searching mode built into Ambient Art: Impressionism to search for the painting you wish to display. You simply use your DVD remote control to navigate the screen.
You can choose to turn any of the 346 Impressionist paintings into art for your TV. Ambient Art: Impressionism can be used to create LCD art, plasma art, or art for any TV.
Loop Mode
Every DVD in the Ambient Series has the ability to loop any scene. This means there won't be any breaks in the action if you simply want your favorite scene to play continuously.
However, if you dizzy from watching the same scene over and over, you can use our exclusive playlist feature. The playlist feature allows you to create a custom slideshow.
Works on ANY television
While the Ambient Art is quite popular as an LCD TV screensaver, it does not play favorites. The Ambient Art: Impressionism DVD was designed from the ground up to work flawlessly on both widescreen and standard televisions.
