One of my favorite Google TV features is undoubtedly the screensaver. Wait, isn’t that just a logo bouncing around a screen? Not quite. Ambient Mode, as it’s officially called, can display images from sources such as NASA, Getty, and Google Arts & Culture. It prevents screen burn-in while transforming my TV into an art gallery. It’s brilliant, but it has one talent that makes it even more valuable.
It can showcase images from my Google Photos library and albums, many of which contain deeply cherished memories of my travels. The feature is so good, in fact, that I often find myself fumbling around trying to open the Google Photos app on my TV, only to remember that this isn’t possible.
