 According to Parks Associates research, more than two-thirds of the digital photos taken are never printed or displayed. So unless you want them to continue to rot on your hard drive one of the best option is to go for a digital photo frame.
ViewSonic has decided to jump on the bandwagonl with the introduction of an easy-to-use digital picture frame line.
The company’s first picture frames — the widescreen 7-inch DP701W4WH, widescreen 8-inch DF88W-523 and traditional 8-inch DF87G533 — are set to be affordable, stylish and versatile, providing a high-quality display for you to show off your digital photos.
Pictures can be uploaded to the frames with a USB cable or directly from a camera’s memory card. With 128MB of internal memory standard, the frames can display and rotate nearly 106 1.2-megapixel photos. The user can browse and display photos individually, view thumbnails or create an image slideshow with transition effects.
The widescreen 7-inch DP701W4WH displays images at an 800x480 resolution, 220 cd/m2 brightness and a 400:1 contrast ratio (typ). The DP701W4WH creates a smooth progression from image to image, while the white acrylic bezel makes it a perfect fit within the modern décor of today’s homes and offices. The frames can display JPEG or BMP files and also include clock and alarm functionality.
The widescreen 8-inch DF88W-523 and traditional 8-inch DF87G-533 give photos more screen space and personality with audio and video capabilities. These frames display JPEG, BMP and M-JPEG files, and the DF88W also displays MPEG2 and MPEG4 files.
The DF88W offers 800x480 resolution and 300:1 contrast ratio while the DF87G offers 800x600 resolution and 500:1 contrast ratio (typ). With 250 cd/m2 brightness (typ), images are bright and clear. Both frames include an integrated speaker for MP3 sound, a remote control and clock, alarm and calendar functionality.
Note: At the time of writing the UK arm of Viewsonic have not decided on which version of the picture frame they will be selling. We will let you know which one they decide to sell when we get our hands on a review sample.
