Goofy question, and I don't have a lot of time to research it. Our fiscal year is ending in about 24 hours. :(

We have an art room in our library and we're thinking about putting a LCD TV in there to show a power point presentation that simply rotates through its panels all day. We found a 19" Samsung LN19A650 19" High Def LCD TV w/ USB 2.0 port.

Is it possible to use this like a digital photo frame, where we don't need a PC but can put the power point on a flash drive, install that into the USB and let that run all day? I'm thinking it won't work... as the LCD has no way to recognize what a power point is. But I really have no idea, and don't have enough time to research it.

Any thoughts? We're trying to do this on the cheap and buying a PC to run it falls outside of budget.

Nope. Impossible.

Don't bother researching any further.

You will need a computer to accomplish what you are proposing. It can be a very inexpensive PC which can be purchased for around $250 before taxes and shipping.

Heck, you can even build a PC around a VIA or Atom CPU. (Can be very small from 20cm to 50cm, with HDD,etc)
