Technological progress does not stand still. Thanks to him, it became possible to combine many useful things in a seemingly simple frame: an archive of your favorite photographs, music, video, radio, etc. To choose the right electronic photo frame, you should take into account some of the features and characteristics of popular models.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a photo frame, you need to take into account the main points: viewing angle, format, internal memory, the ability to support various formats, connecting external media and additional functionality.
Step 2
Each photo frame model has its own format, so when choosing, consider whether it suits you for it. The most popular is the usual 4: 3 or wide 16: 9. If you don't know the format size, then choose a classic black frame. This will hide the side stripes that may appear when the dimensions are not matched.
Step 3
If you format an image, the photo quality on the LCD screen may deteriorate if not viewed from a right angle. To avoid this, choose frames with a large viewing angle and optimal viewing size: horizontally - 100-180 degrees, vertically - 60-170 degrees.
Step 4
Screen resolution is essential to obtain the most natural image reproduction possible. The larger the diagonal of the photo frame, the more dots per inch of screen area should be. At the same time, try to choose the optimal values: for a 7-inch model, a resolution of 480x234 pixels is sufficient, for an 8-inch model - 800x480 pxl, for a 10-inch model - 1024x768 pxl. It should be remembered that small photo frames fit organically into any interior, they will fit comfortably on your desktop, chest of drawers, coffee table, etc. Large frames, due to their bulky dimensions, are best mounted on the wall.
Step 5
The amount of memory in the frame depends on how many photos will fit in it. Usually the built-in memory of photo frames is small, but they have the ability to use removable memory cards. When choosing a model, pay attention to the size of the card reader, as different models can only use one or more cards of different sizes.
Step 6
Choose a power source that is convenient for you. It can be from a power outlet, conventional batteries or a rechargeable battery.
Step 7
The most inexpensive models of photo frames are connected to a computer via a cable. You can choose a model with WiFi, Bluetooth or infrared. The assortment is large, it all depends on your taste and the amount of money. Modern models can be connected to a TV and view photos on a large screen. The frames are equipped with a control panel, a touch screen, and you can view video files on them.
Step 8
In addition to the basic functions, models of electronic photo frames are equipped with an alarm clock, a weather station, a clock, a calendar. Once you've made your choice, find out if your chosen model supports both vertical and horizontal positioning. Manufacturers offer different styles of photo frames from classic and retro to modern.
