Digital Picture Frames, are proving an ever popular gift amongst UK shoppers, and in our opinion, make the perfect gift for friends and family, especially parents and grandparents, by pre-loading the frame with some of your favourite family snaps, typically the frames come setup to automatically cycle through the photos loaded onto the memory card or the frames integral memory.
A digital frame could’nt be simpler to setup, typically most frames are placed on a sideboard, shelf or mantle piece just like s ‘normal’ photo frame, the only requirement when positioning your digital frame is the proximity of a powerpoint, the only real draw back we can see when purchasing a digital frame, is the need for power, whilst we’ve seen some frames with chargable batteries, their battery lifespan (when fully charged), leaves alot to be desired, the main problem being that naturally the frames are designed to be a permament display.
When choosing a photo frame, besides naturally choosing your budget, a few other important details and features you might want to consider, particulary with the higher end frames available include:
Screen resolution, in general the higher the resolution the better the quality image, although on most budget frames we’ve seen the screen res tends to be at the lower end of the spectrum, but considering the cost, still produces a good quality display.
Another useful feature is a frame with a USB port, allowing you to connect the frame directly to your PC, allowing you to quickly and easily transfer photos to or from the frame, many of the lower budget frames only allow you to transfer photos via an external memory card, which is a little more fiddly and time consuming.
