How to buy the best digital photo frame
Basic digital photo frames can do little more than show your photos.
However, if you’re willing to spend a bit more money, you’ll be offered a range of additional features. Here are some of the more useful ones.
Remote controls for digital photo frames
A remote control is a bonus, but as they’re small and easy to lose. Some digital photo frames have only a power button on the frame itself, so all other features require the remote control.
Wall mounting
If you want to hang your digital photo frame on the wall, check that it comes with suitable mounting screw holes on the rear. Bear in mind, though, that most digital photo frames are powered by a mains adaptor rather than batteries, so the power cable will trail down the wall unless it’s cleverly hidden.
You can find a wall-mountable digital photo frame or one that plays music and videos using our digital photo frame product selector.
Digital photo frames, on the other hand, let you create slideshows with cool transitions to display all of your vacation pics. And some frames add video and audio playback, Wi-Fi, and/or Bluetooth. The best part? LCD technology is finally becoming affordable enough for these frames to be had at reasonable prices. Sure, you can land a killer deal on a solid frame, but you need to know what to look for. Here are five rules to follow to help you pick the perfect digital picture frame.
MP3 and video playback on digital photo frames
More expensive digital photo frames allow you to add background music to your slideshows, making them even more enjoyable, though the small speakers are unlikely to fill the room with sound. Check whether speakers are mono or stereo.
Some digital photo frames can also play short video clips.
Interchangeable inserts
Some of the digital photo frames we tested have interchangeable frame inserts. This is a nice touch, as it lets you choose a surround to suit your décor. Some cheaper frames can look and feel plasticky, so try to view your chosen model in a shop before buying.
Common frame styles include:
Gloss black
Clear glass
White
Stainless steel
Some digital photo frames have surrounds made from traditional natural materials like leather or wood.
It’s important to choose the right style frame, as it may well spend most of its time turned off and not displaying photos.
Other digital photo frame functions
Digital photo frame manufacturers are now starting to add in other functions such as calendars and weather stations, but these are often little more than gimmicks.
