How to Select a Digital Photo Frame


This guide will walk you though many of the factors to consider when selecting a digital picture frame.

Price:

Spend only the money you have. You can spend a lot of money if you don't have restraint.This is not the most exciting way to approach a new gadget purchase.

It is also important remember with the constant release of newer models, there are perfectly good older models that have dropped in price or can be purchased during a sale. After all in most cases this is supposed to be a picture frame not a mini computer!

Internal or External Memory?

If you are not as tech savvy external memory is much easier to work with. For an added $15 you can buy a 4GB card, you load images onto this and put the card into your frame. Much easier than trying to hook them up via USB or some other connection such as the internet. The larger the space the more photos - Remember that pictures shot at a higher resolution will take up more data space but give a much clearer picture.

Screen Size

Do you know where the picture frame will be displayed?  If it is on a desk you may want a 5 to 8 inch digital picture frame.  If the frame is going to sit on an end table or a living room you may look for a frame that is 10 inches or larger.

Search by Frame Size:

Smaller Frames: 5.6 Inch Frames 7 Inch Frames 8 Inch Frames
9 Inch Frames

Larger Frames: 10 Inch Frames 14 Inch Frames 15 Inch Frames


Brand?

Some manufacturers are just better than others but don't let this fool you. Some brand name frames can have a great features and brilliant image quality but they can lack in a speedy interface.

We recommend when buying that you not only look at the image quality but also play with the interface and see if it's to your liking.

  • The Best: Kodak, Sony
  • Good but Less expensive: Giinii
  • Companies to Avoid: Dynex

What look do you want?

Modern or Traditional? This is a personal preference and something that depends on the interior design of the room the frame is placed in. The great thing is that there is a wide selection these days that can leave you spoilt for choice.

Glossy finish or matte finish? Matte is a much better option in well lit or bright rooms. The glare from the light can cause glossy frames to reflect it's surroundings therefor making it difficult to see the images being displayed especially from a  distance.

Controls

Often times a remote makes it easier to control the frame plus it can be done in the comfort of your chair or from a distance. However many frames come with controls built into the frame. Newer frames have digital touchscreens which can lead to finger marks and the constant need to clean the digital frame.

Consider Wireless Frames
