Our Recommendations For The Best Digital Photo Frame

By Derek James


Buy yourself a digital photo frame and have some fun. If you enjoy taking or looking at photos of any type then the latest digital photo frames are perfect for displaying your photographs at their best. The quality of image that is now possible with these electronic photo display devices is very impressive.

However before you buy a digital picture frame there are some minimum requirements that you need to check for the photo frame you are thinking of buying.

Get A High Resolution Frame At All Times

To get a clear, crisp and brightly lit image to show your photos at their best you must look closely at the resolution of the display screen that the photo frame uses. Digital picture frames use a Liquid Crystal Display. These are just like those used in flat panel televisions, but on a smaller scale.

Do not select any digital frame that has a low resolution specification. The resolution of the display is so important when it comes to viewing a quality image.

It is recommended that you get a resolution of at least 640x480 or even 800x600 if you can the higher price required. The higher resolution frames are normally always more expensive. Do not even consider a frame with lower resolution as you will not be happy with the quality you will get.

For LCD photo displays that are bigger than say 9 inches you should consider trying to get the highest resolution that your bank balance can accommodate. A higher resolution will always give you a better quality image. Any frame that seems cheap more than likley has a low resolution so make sure you look at the specs.

Never Forget All About Aspect Ratios

There are just two different aspect ratios to consider for digital photo frames and these are the less common 15:9 and the normal 4:3, which is found in images from most of todays more common digital cameras.

The 4:3 is just so common that you photos will be displayed at their original best in this format. The other 15:9 format will give you a great wide-screen TV type of display which you might like.

Unfortunately if you display 4:3 images on a 15:9 digital screen then the top and bottom of the image will be chopped of to make it fit, which you might not like..

Do You Know What Type Of Memory Card Slot

Make sure the digital photo frame you are thinking of buying accepts the same memory card that you use in your digital camera. Some frames have a multi-card reader, which means they can take several different types of memory card in the same slot, although only one at a time.

You Will Need A USB Port For Yor Computer

If you want to transfer photos or other images directly from your personal computer or digital camera using a standard USB cable then the photo frame must have a USB slot. This is important for some people, but if you are happy just using memory cards then you will not need this option.

More Additional Options For You To Consider.

There are many other options now available for the digital photo frame, such as wi-fi connectivity to download images from the web, speakers, headphones, remote controls, alarm clocks and many more. These are selected by personal choice and of course you should expect to pay more if they are what you want.

Use the recommendations made to you above to get a great deal on a good quality digital photo frame, which will display the sharpest images for what you can afford, and just ignore the company labels as these should not be relevant when making your choice.
