Can you feature just one photo across the entire screen in ambient mode?

Hello, is it possible to upload and feature just one photo in ambient mode across the entire screen, and if so how do you do it?

Or are you limited to just uploading photos to on-screen photo frame template that has boxes for a number of smaller photos?

The Q90R’s been the worst product I’ve bought in years. Samsung not even being able to solve these kind of things is beyond me. The inconvenience and instability in the Smart Things app is beyond me. Regular disconnects and long loading times…

I wish this feature was possible. I dislike how much space the passe partout frame takes

To feature an own taken picture on the background fullscreen is not possible

Yes it is possible by doing the following procedure. 

• Crop your photo to exactly 

  resolution: 3840x2160 px

• Upload the photo to you TV
• When selecting the photo on you TV choose to select passepartout
• Swipe left and choose no passepartout

Using this procedure I am able to get my own photos full screen on the TV.

Depends on your model. On the Q90R it is not possible.

I’m unable to locate the “screen photo” option under my ambient settings of model QN65Q TV. I’ve also tried cropping a photo to exactly 3840x2160 px and uploading to no avail. I’m not seeing a remove passepartout option. I’m guessing my TV doesn’t support that option like the many others?

I have 75" Q8DT (from Costco -- essentially the same model as Q80T) that I purchased in Aug 2021, and I was able to do this for my photo. It was originally 16:9 taken on a iPhone. I didn't have to resize it. While I understand that not every model Samsung TV may be able to do this, perhaps it will help others in a similar situation:

• I made sure the photo on my iPhone was 16:9
• In the SmartThings app on my iPhone (connected to the TV), select "Ambient Mode"
• Select the tab "My Album"
• Scroll down and select "Screen Photo" (the next selection after "Auto Gallery")
• Select "Select Photos", select the desired photo, and then select "View on TV"

That was it. I didn't have to adjust anything else.

"Screen Photo" is under "My Album". It's in the SmartThings app. I did this on my iPhone, not the app on the TV.
