While the hardware used by each of these companies seems to come from just a few sources, the software is home grown. The company also offers telephone support. Smartparts, for its part, has developed simplified transfer software to copy images into its frame's internal memory. Pandigital sent us a review unit before the show (where we met with them), on which this report is based. Several companies are offering affordable digital frames now, among them Digital Foci, Digital Spectrum, Fidelity Electronics, Kodak, Pandigital, Smartparts and Westinghouse, all of which showed their wares at PMA 2007. No matter what quibbles weary reviewers have. It is a little exciting to see your pictures flash by on what looks like an ordinary frame. 'Hey, that's Tahoe! Cool!' A breath or two later, 'How did you do that?' 'What's this?' we heard in a few minutes from a voice near the dresser. Then, noticing the time, we rattled some almonds into a dish, made a drink and turned on the television to catch the evening news. We had a few recent pictures from the snow country on an SD card, so we put that in, fired it up and let the slide show run. With the house quiet, we made a little space on the dresser topped with family photos and slipped Pandigital's 8-inch frame amongst them. What's it like to actually have one of these things? Just the quibbles of a weary reviewer who has spent years staring down one LCD or another, expecting some spark of life to flicker before him. But you'd put up with that on a television.īut that's all theory and highly refined anxiety. You'd never frame a portrait in a horizontal frame with big black bars inside the mat on the left and right sides. In fact, it's easier to think of a digital frame as a television than a frame. But how do you know what you've missed? Do you have to watch it like a television? But will that burn that image into the LCD?Īnd it can run a slide show of whatever images it finds either in its internal memory, an inserted memory card or even some online gallery. It can certainly display a single image just like your framed print. And why are they all black when so many walls are white?Ī digital frame also has a number of viewing modes.

But why would you leave it on?Īnd that switch, of course, leads to a power supply, which is actually a power brick plugged into a wall socket. It's passive but constant.Ī digital frame, however, has an On/Off switch. And it sits unaltered on the wall ready to engage your interest whenever you look its way. You have a print you love, you frame it and hang it. Then there's the problem of framed art in general. And you can't calibrate those colors, either (except manually, which we'll explain below). Early attempts like those from Ceiva Logic in 1999 even featured a built-in modem to dial into online accounts and refresh the subject matter nightly.įor one thing, these things just don't show 24-bit (full) color for some reason. Frame an LCD with a card reader slapped on the back and - presto! - you've got a digital photo frame.
