CHOOSING DIGITAL FRAMES FOR YOUR NEEDS
I know this very well because it took me over 2 years, combined with my own personal experience, to gather and then filter and arrange pertinent information to share on this website! And more information keeps coming in daily!
They range from frames that just display pictures, to ones that play music and video as well. Now you can even find some that have wireless connectivity and some with their own built-in photo printers!
A digital frame gives you so many more options than a traditional frame or even a computer slideshow of your pictures. Yet, it is estimated that at least 40% of all digital photo frame owners may never even use their digital frames! Why is this? The answer is probably the reason why you came to this site. The technology for the digital frame is really still in its infancy (or possibly adolescence!). Manufacturers promise so much but often do not deliver on those promises. A feature or function may work perfectly well on one frame but not on another. Or perhaps the feature or function you desire is not available on a frame that you can afford. If you are not technologically-savvy, you may feel that a digital frame poses more problems than you need because you will have to transfer your pictures from wherever they are stored to the frame. If your knowledge of PCs, memory cards, digital cameras or Wi-Fi is limited, you may feel you should opt out of a digital frame purchase.
And a digital frame usually commands physical space in more high-profile areas, such as on your living room wall or on your desk, etc.
It is also useful to know that a digital frame, like a traditional frame, can display just one photo (as well as a slideshow of many photos). But the photo displayed on a digital frame can be more dynamic and interesting than a traditional photo. (Beware that some LCD screens could possibly make a permanent 'ghost' image if one photo is left on the screen too long). A number of frames have the ability to transition between a clock or a calendar and 1 or more photos.
You can have this information fed to your Wi-Fi enhanced digital frame. This information can be refreshed automatically with the relevant information you choose to see. All you need is to know how to do it! Right?! Don't worry, I can help you.
A very small minority of special photos might make it to the wall or desktop, but for the most part, they remain in storage. Now along comes the digital photo frame, capable of holding thousands of pictures and with the ability to show just one or more at a time in an interesting and eye-catching way.
Not really. The wide variety of styles, types, options, sizes, colors, etc. of digital frames, seems designed to intimidate us more than anything else when it comes to choosing digital frames. Combine this with questions of camera card compatibility, image quality, screen resolution, ease of use and the choices can be mind-bending.
Should I get a small one, a large one, an inexpensive one, an expensive one? Do I want the frame to be able to play music, be my newest alarm clock, and even play videos? The answer, I believe, can be found on this website.
It is my wish that you will be able to take the information contained here and make the most informed choice each time you want to make a purchase.
It would be most helpful to have some idea of how and where the product will be used and what features you would prefer, based on affordability and availability as well as the technical skill level of the end user. The next pages in this section of the website...styles of digital frames, display options, quality of image displays, connectivity methods for transferring images, picture functions and advanced features...should answer most questions about the process involved in choosing just the right digital frame for each situation! Please also check the page regarding safety when using these products.
