Will a Chromecast display Google Photos on a 4K Monitor via HDMI..?

Hi, Could I have some advice please?

I would like to create a reasonably affordable large digital Photo Frame using a 4K monitor and, ideally, Chromecast 4K. The Chromecast would be connected to the monitor via HDMI. I would then display photos from a Google Photo album(s) in much the same way as the Photo Frame option on a Nest Hub only on a larger display ie as a slow moving screensaver, one photo at a time. Sound isn't needed. The monitor is not connected to a computer, just the Chromecast.

Does this sound feasible..? Has anyone tried this?

Any advice/help/better ideas would be welcome. (I've thought of a TV instead of a monitor eg Samsung TV, but they are much more expensive and larger than the 4K monitor I have in mind and I don't need the tv capability.)

Thanks!

Hello @Rolf_au!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and posting it in the community.

I understand you have questions about casting photos from your Google Photos to your 4K monitor using a Chromecast with Google TV.

Here's what you'll need and how to set it up:

4K Monitor with good viewing angles and color accuracy.
Chromecast with Google TV to cast content from your Google Photos to the monitor.
HDMI Cable to connect the Chromecast to the monitor.

Setup:

Plug the Chromecast into the HDMI port on your monitor and power it on.
Make sure your desired photos are organized into albums on Google Photos.
Set up the Chromecast with your Google account.
Use the Google Home app or the Chromecast remote to cast your Google Photos album to the monitor. You can set it to display one photo at a time or as a slideshow.

Please let us know if you have any further questions. We're here to help

Regards,

Catheryn
