.
More and more, regular photo frames are being replaced by digital photo frames. Digital photo frames are display devices and the perfect decorative accessory in your house as they allow instant sharing of your best pictures. While a unique picture is displayed in a normal photo frame, a digital photo frame act more like a video by transitioning between pictures. As a matter of fact, a single digital frame can display hundreds of your favorite pictures, if not thousands, throughout the day. Those pictures are stored in the frame’s internal memory, or an external memory card or a USB storage device.

When purchasing a digital photo frame, it is important to consider some elements. To help you choose a good digital photo frame, we put together a list of the top 10 digital photo frames and their characteristics. But before choosing your frame, let’s see what makes a good digital picture frame.

Resolution

The resolution of the image is important when purchasing your digital picture frame. The resolution can be described as the number of pixels on the entire screen. Lower quality digital frames will display blurry or fuzzy images. Also, a low quality frame can display poorly lit images, therefore pictures that are less crisp or sharp. For a 4″ x 6″ digital picture frame, preferably choose a 640 x 480 pixels or higher to have a proper and clear image.

Viewing Limitation Angles

Some digital photo frames have some viewing limitation angles. Obviously, you won’t find viewing limitation angles on the manufacturer box and, like for TVs and computer screens, you will easily find out about them simply by reading other people’s reviews and comments.

Size

There are several sizes of digital picture frames. Some frames can be as small as 1.5 inches. Obviously, a 1.5 inches picture frame won’t be used to display pictures on your desk, but are rather used as key chains or small purse accessories. While 20 inches frame are available, most people tend to stick with 6 to 10 inches frames.

Finish

Most digital picture frames come with the usual black frame, but if you are looking for something fancier, woods and metal frames are other options available to you. Some devices even have interchangeable face plates, allowing you to customize your frame for difference decors.

Storage and Transfers

Most digital picture frames have their own internal memory. However, if your digital frame have insufficient memory, you may increase the memory by adding different external storage devices, such as SD cards or CF memory sticks.

You can upload your pictures to the internal memory of the digital frame using a USB connection, an Ethernet connection or a FireWire connection. High-end models even allow you to upload your pictures directly from picture sharing websites such as Flickr. In this case, your digital frame will have to be plugged in to a working internet connection at all time.

Price

The price of your display device will depend on several factors. First, the size of the device plays in important role in the pricing of the frame. Higher resolution will also add up to the cost of the frame. A wood or metal finish can look very fancy in any house or apartment, but can add a lot to the original cost of the frame. Finally, other features, such as a remote control or internet connectivity will also increase the price of your device.
