Digital Picture Frames
Before the advent of digital cameras, showing off your photogenic family sometimes took a degree in engineering to properly pull it off. Wallpapering your livingroom and hall walls with dozens of mismatched picture frames was only the beginning. You also had to find creative spots on top of furniture, shelves, counters, and mantles where you could possibly cram 2 or 3 more photos in.
Now, with the use of digital cameras so prevalent, it only seemed natural that digital photo frames would quickly become popular. You can now replace hundreds of picture frames with 1 or 2 digital frames and still display more photos.
The current crop of digital photo frames have internal memories that can hold several hundred pictures, depending on the file size. They present the photos in a slideshow format, so you can enjoy an entire album of photos instead of just one.
You can find digital picture frames in sizes from 1.5 inches (keychain size) to over 20 inches, with 7 to 10 inches being the most popular sizes. They come in differing frame styles as well, from brushed silver to wood grain and more. Most come with a stand but can be mounted on the wall also.
Some digital photo frames come with additional features, such as a built in calendar and alarm clock. Still others play music as well as videos. some have remote controls that allow you to control the features from afar.
Which digital photo frame meets your needs the best? Here are a few things to consider:
- What size display do you want and what format (standard or widescreen)?
- Do you want changeable frames so you can match your interior design?
- Which frames allow you to play music and videos in addition to photos?
- Do you want to load photos via a memory stick or USB port?
- Do you prefer a frame with a remote control?
