Even if sports fans are leading the stampede toward high-definition TV, it turns out that there's more you can do with your new 50-inch plasma screen HDTV than just watch the Super Bowl.

For example, you could create a home art gallery.

Gallery Player sells high-definition collections of fine art and photography from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Geographic, and other museums and publications. (The Degas pastel drawing shown above is from the Musee d'Orsay, Paris.) The collections, which are available via broadband, Comcast video on demand and DVD, play on your television screen with a musical accompaniment. Pictures rotate every few minutes so you won't burn a hole in the screen.
