Author Topic: WTK: Recommended Digital Picture Frames (Read 2117 times)

Fellow Tech brethren, I am a big fan of Digital Picture frames ever since getting one for moms as a birthday/christmas present many moons ago. (Can't wait for them to be as common place as paintings in the walls of homes, updated via wifi, that would be sweet)

A lot of time has passed since then and I expect there are a ton of cool new models out and about.

Looking for recommendations.

Which are the Digital Pictures frames to get nowadays?

I just came across this in my travels. Maybe it could to be of some assistance.

That's definitely a step in the right direction.

At US$179.99, it is still too pricey but a great find.

You could get a 15" Digital Photo Frame for US$199.00, so it is very hard to justify an 8" at that price, even with wifi considered.

I'd say I am willing to spend about US$60.00 on a good 7" - 8" Digital Photo Frame.

US$80.00 for a 10" - 12" unit

US$150.00 on a decent 15" Frame. (That's a small painting replacement on your living room wall right there, and a helluva lot more dynamic!)

Also on Amazon

@ US$129.00

A little better, but still too much $$

This one weighs in @ US$149.00, which isn't bad considering it is a 12" screen. That's pretty massive as far as photo frames go.

They took an interesting angle on "wireless", going the bluetooth route instead of wifi. Must be cheaper. Though there is a caveat, these folks will ship you the bluetooth module for free, it isn't included in the box. (Bluetooth is likely a cheaper option, but I would have preferred regular wifi, if only for ubiquity)

On the cheap end, this 8" frame, looks pretty snazzy for the money. A measly US$44.99

Amazon had it listed @ twice the price, hence the non "trini credit card friendly" link
