I have a 48" tv hooked up to a computer and I am trying to use it as best I can. I am making a web app that displays daily quotes in a grid format and it takes up the whole page. for example a grid of 9x4 = 36 small pictures, my pictures have some text on them which becomes unreadable on small laptops but when I output to a tv it is still unreadable yet the pictures are bigger because its on a 48" tv.

Please check out jsfiddle.net/hX46r/1/
How can I make the pictures with text on them readable when viewing on large screen TVs.

Also the web app is going to be made for windows 8, can windows 8 properly use the screen size to show pictures clearly?

Generally common TV's nowadays will work at 720p (1280px x 720px) or 1080p (1920px x 1080px) the readability will rely on several factors:


The resolution and quality of the image being served.. a image that is 1920 x 1080px will become more readable than a image up-scaled from 480p or 720p.
The Hz of the TV can also be a factor.. Generally still images and motion video will be more sharp on a screen with higher Hertz than one with lower hertz.
Generally text outputted via an APP supported by the TV will be more readable than a image containing text within the image.. This is because the TV has its own fonts and anti-alias smoothing and sharpening to the fonts.


The image in your FIDDLE is far too small and should be no less than 1920x1080 or 1280x720
