I just became a Patron for Dynamic Dungeons maps and am in the process of building a table top TV box. Can someone tell me the best way to use the maps during the game and make sure they are sized correctly for a 55" TV? Do I just download the maps I need for each session onto my laptop or what? Any help or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks,
One of my players is a patron of Dynamic Dungeon Maps and we use a 55" television as our battlemap. I run each video looped and in full-screen mode from my laptop using VLC Viewer and they show up right around 1" squares automatically. If a particular dungeon does not, then resize it accordingly. but all the ones I have played with have been spot on with my television.
Google VLC Video. It's a free open source video player that supports just about every video format known to man. If you have a different video player you prefer to use, then use it. And yes, I download the maps I want ahead of my session. Play the 4K version if your computer has the horsepower. I use the HD versions and they look just fine.

Do you just download the maps you need for each session from Dynamic/Patreon website to your laptop prior to the game? VLC Viewer?
