Digital Photo Frame Display Size and Quality are Important

Filed Under Display Screen |

Not every digital photo frame is made equal! There are a very large number of digital picture frames now on the market, which makes it very difficult to know what is actually available and even more difficult when it comes to choosing one.

Fortunately digital photo frames continue to drop in price because of increased popularity and reduced manufacturing costs. But that does not making finding what you want any easier.

One important factor to realize is that all digital picture frames are different and often in several ways.

All the different digital frames do not provide the same functionality or the same quality and as with any electronic product, especially something which uses a new technology, it always makes sense to try and understand a little about what is actually available before starting your search.

As with all things, you get what you pay for. If you want the best deal at the cheapest price then you are probably going to have to compromise on quality, size and features.

Similarly if you really want the best digital photo frame with all the modern features then you are going to have to find the extra cash to pay for it.

Is Biggest Really Best?

Only if that’s what you want and of course you have to be able to afford it.

The size of the digital picture frame that you want is a personal thing. You may want it to fit in proportionally with existing décor in your home or maybe you really need a bigger display screen because your eye sight is not so good.

Screen sizes vary a lot from the 1” screens on keychain digital frames up to big 15” frames and some are now even about 19 or 20”.

You will find there is a lot more choice with the smaller sizes and when you get to the larger sizes the number available will reduce quite a lot, but you will still have a big enough choice to find something to meet your requirements.

Currently the best selling sizes of digital photo frame are 6.5”, 7”, 8”, 9”, 10” and 10.4”. The smaller mini frames (1.1”to 1.5”) that you will find on a digital keyring photo album are also proving very popular. Even some of the larger 11” and 15”versions are now starting to sell well.

The Quality of the Screen Display is Important

The quality of what you see on the screen of the digital photo display is determined by several factors.

The most important one to consider is the screen resolution which depends on the actual number of pixels displayed in the display area.

A digital frame with more pixels will give a clearer and better image display. Displays with a large pixel count are usually referred to as high resolution photo frames. However it is the density of the pixels in the screen which really determines the best picture.

As an example two of the top selling digital photo frames have sizes of 6.5” and 10” and their pixel counts are 720×480 and 800×480 respectively. The smaller one therefore has about the same number of pixels as the larger, but the pixels on the smaller one cover a much smaller area. Thus the smaller could be considered a high resolution digital picture display whereas the larger would not. The smaller one would give a better picture.

Other typical resolutions you will find on digital picture frames are 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024.

If you get a chance to see one also check the maximum brightness of the screen and the contrast to make sure it can deal correctly with the darker colors.
