File size to projext on a big screen TV

I am creating a Photo Story file of year end photos to show on a big screen TV, say 60"
via a laptop at a party for our car club. What file size should the photos be to show up well

on the TV. When I post them on our website I usually reduce the size to something like
1600 x 1018 at 465 kb. Should I use the original larger file size to make the Photostory.

I don't want to lose some clarity with the reduced file size photos. What file size

should I use. Thanks

Using the original images to maintain highest resolution in the project, the simplest method, not requiring any specialised player or Photostory installed, would be to export as a 4K 3840 x 2160 UHD mp4 video file.

This should play on the laptop with Media Player/Films & TV in Windows, it may also be worth checking if the 60" TV can play mp4 files directly eg from a memory stick (thumb drive).
