The Aura Mason, our current number one digital photo frame, has a 9-inch, 1600 x 1200 screen. The Aura Mason packs a 9-inch, 1600 x 1200 panel, while the Nixplay 2K Smart Digital Photo Frame, as the name suggests, offers an impressive resolution of 2048 x 1536.
WHICH DIGITAL PHOTOFRAME FULL
But do pay attention to resolution: 1200 x 800 pixels is pretty standard and more than enough for smaller screen sizes, while the sharpest, most detailed displays feature a Full HD resolution or better. Somewhere between nine and ten inches will be the sweet spot for most: compact enough to be convenient, yet still sufficiently sizable to give your images room to breath. Similarly, while larger screens might offer more real estate for your images, they won’t always have a higher resolution, so going bigger doesn’t necessarily mean that your snaps will look better. But size isn’t always everything: smaller frames can often be easier to place and, because the pixels are spread over a smaller area, will sometimes be sharper. Screen size can vary substantially, from the compact display of the Nix Digital Photo Frame 8-inch to the Nixplay Seed Wave, with its 13-inch panel. The Nixplay Nix Digital Photo Frame has a compact 8-inch design, but others go right up to 13-inch size screens. Style aside, arguably the most important aspect when choosing between different frames is the screen that will actually display your photos – and there are several factors to bear in mind. Which suits you best will depend on your personal taste and the existing interior design. The Facebook Portal, for example, offers a floating box frame effect, while the minimalist Aura Mason uses a subtly sculpted finish to great effect. Similarly, while many digital photo frames take the form of generic rectangles with bevelled bezels, certain models offer a fresh take on the photo frame. Matte black is the most common finish for modern digital photo frames, but there are also a few more distinctive options, including the seriously shiny Nixplay 2K Smart Digital Photo Frame in silver. It's never a bad idea to visualize how different frames will fit with your interior decor. Some ship with specific mounting kits, while others – including the Nix Digital Photo Frame 8-inch – feature simple slots for suspending the frame on an existing screw. Prefer to hang your frames on the wall? Suspending digital photo frames alongside their analogue equivalents can make for a striking setup, but not all frames can be wall-mounted. The Nixplay Seed Wave has a flexible stand that you can mould to support the frame in portrait or landscape.
Most digital photo frames feature power connectors that don’t impact positioning options, but a few – such as the Facebook Portal – have cables that exit from the end of the stand, which prevents you from placing the frame flush against a wall. It also pays to consider the frame’s physical footprint: certain frames require a fair amount of shelf space for the stand behind, while others – such as the freestanding Aura Mason – occupy only the slim width of the frame itself.Īnd don’t forget that proximity to a plug is paramount.
It’s worth thinking about whether you need a model with an adjustable tilt angle, especially if you’ll be placing the frame on a higher shelf. Some frames have adjustable plastic stands that can be removed and repositioned to alter the orientation, while others – such as the Facebook Portal – ship with stands that are fixed in position. The Nixplay Seed Wave (below), for example, features a flexible stand which can be moulded to support the frame in portrait or landscape. As with traditional photo frames, the most common setup for their digital equivalents is a framed frontage with a supporting stand at the back – but these span a wide range of styles.
