High Tech Memories: Digital Picture Frame Review
(Page 1 of 4 )
With everything we use on a daily basis going digital, it's only a matter of time until everything we own or use will have a mind of its own. For instance, today we are taking a look at a seven-inch digital picture frame sent to us by ThinkGeek. Let’s find out if it should make your MUST BUY list this holiday season.
One of the things I personally like about digital picture frames is the ability to show several pictures without needing tons of real estate. I can tell you that I have a lot of pictures of my kids that I'd love to put on my desk, but space is at a premium.
So before we open up the frame and put it through its paces, let's look at the published features.
Features:
- Displays digital pictures (JPEG or BMP) without a computer.
- Supports Widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio or standard 4:3 aspect.
- Simply insert a compatible memory card into the digital frame to show photos, play MP3 music or supported video files.
- Display photos on a connected USB Thumbdrive or External USB Hard Drive (FAT32 Format Only. External hard drive must be powered separately).
- Compatible memory cards include CompactFlash (CF), SecureDigital (SD), MultiMediaCard (MMC) and Memory Stick.
- Instantly plays MP3 music with the integrated speaker.
- Instantly plays MPEG 1, 2 or 4 movie files with sound.
- Supports up to 12 Mega Pixel image files.
- Bright 7" TFT active matrix LCD screen.
- 480x234 resolution.
- Automatic slide show with multiple transition effects and display times.

- User-friendly on-screen display lets you access all controls easily.
- Included IR remote controls all frame functions.
- Powered by included AC Adapter 110-240V AC 50/60Hz.
