Digital picture frames - what t o see and interesting uses for them
Digital photo frames are a great way to display your favorite photos, family vacation photos, baby photos, well, you name it. You can display a single image, or play a slideshow of multiple images.
This article explains the features to consider when purchasing a digital picture frame, as well as some interesting uses for how this useful tool can be used in your home or business.
Observations for what
Size
Today's digital photo frames range in size from 2 inches to 40 inches! Yes, that's right, 40 inches! However, the most common size purchased is 7 to 10 inches—large enough to display a 4x6 or 5x7 photo. The bigger the size, the higher the price.
Decide where you want to place the digital frame first (and make sure it's close to a power source), hen you'll have a good idea of how big the screen needs to be for viewing.
With digital frames, you have the option of purchasing a standard 4:3 aspect ratio or a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. 16:9 aspect ratio will capture your photos and/or crop your images. Most cameras produce images with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio, so choose a photo frame with this standard.
Presence
Digital picture frames come in all shapes and sizes. You can buy with a metal, wooden or plastic frame. Many models now come with interchangeable plates (frames) so you can choose a look that works best with your decor. There are two types of photo finish, matte and glass. A matte finish works best as a glass finish can create a shine.
Resolve
How many pixels are on the screen is referred to as resolution. The more pixels, the better the clarity and richness of the image. Recently, there are many good deals on digital picture frames. Prices have really come down in the last few years. However, check the picture frame glasses carefully. Many of these "great deals" have low resolution which means poor display quality. Make sure the resolution of the photo frame you buy is not less than 640x480. Generally, a 7-inch frame should have a resolution of 720x480, an 8-inch frame should have a resolution of 800x600, and a frame over 10 inches should have a resolution of at least 1024x768.(1)
Performance
The best way to make sure you like a digital frame is to test it first. What does the picture quality look like? Do the images look vibrant? Are the images loading quickly during the slideshow? Can you see the image if you stand 7 feet back? If you move left and right, does the image look good or is there glare? Most stores won't let you see the picture frame in action, so you can't test it until you get the picture frame home.
Strength
A wall outlet must be used to power all digital picture frames. Some models have an internal battery or allow for rechargeable batteries so you can wirelessly send your photo frames around the room to others. To save money, look for an auto on/off feature on digital frames. Frames with this feature can be programmed to turn on only at night but turn off at specific times. This is a great feature and will allow you to enjoy your frame. Don't take it and then you forget it. .
Advanced features
More than merely displaying photos are possible with digital picture frames. Many frames also play songs (mp3's) and videos. See instructions on the box about what format the frame should take. Different brands adopt different formats.
By uploading an mp3 to your frame, you can now show your photo slideshow with your favorite music. The frame speakers provide decent sound and guests are often surprised at the novelty of viewing your photos with music.
Video is another great feature that you can upload to your digital frame. You can upload any video (make sure the format is supported by your frame). The possibilities are endless - home cinema, music videos, movies, TV shows, you name it. However, the smooth playback of the video depends on the quality of the photo frame you purchase.
The main advantage here is that your home movies are easily accessible for viewing at a moment's notice. This is not a problem if the internal memory of the frame you purchased is not large. You can add your home videos to a large memory card and plug it into your digital picture frame and the video will play even better.
Most frames have a remote control so you can change pictures or settings without leaving the sofa. You'll want to keep the remote close at hand because some digital picture frame functions can only be accessed with the remote control.The bigger the size, the higher the price.
