Turn Your Flat Screen Into an Art Gallery

So a 50-inch flat-panel HDTV now occupies the bulk of your living room wall, but guests are coming over and you don't want to actually use it to watch TV. What can you do to keep that big honkin' screen from looking like a blackboard?
GalleryPlayer has some suggestions. The company has licensed fine art and photography from all over the world for its collections of high-def slideshows that show off the capabilities of your new set while livening up your home decor.
Collections range in price from $14 to $25; with the PC versions of GalleryPlayer you can create a custom collection by paying 99 cents per image.
By default, images appear for about a minute, and during the first seconds information about the images is superimposed in a "credit bar." Customization options on PC versions of GalleryPlayer let you vary the amount of time the images appear, change their order, or even minimize the credit bar. (However GalleryPlayer marketing vice president Rusty Citron says you can't get rid of it completely because of contractual obligations to the content owners.)
Here's what Gustav Klimt's The Kiss looks like in GalleryPlayer (with the credit bar):
