Depending on the brightness setting-yes, it's adjustable-a fully charged battery offers only as much as 50 minutes of operation, which makes the feature less practical. Of course, if you want, you can leave it plugged in and not worry about recharging it. The adjustable-and removable-stand on its back lets you set the frame either vertically or horizontally on a table or other surface.Īside from the ability to accept memory cards, we liked the Philips Photo Display's built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which allows you to place the frame wherever you like-or pass it around-without worrying about it being within reach of a power outlet. But this is a minor gripe we really like the look of the frame, which also comes in a wood-tone version for those looking for a less modern, more traditionally styled frame. From a viewing perspective, a black border around the display is preferable because it increases the perceived contrast and makes the picture pop a little more. The frame looks a lot like a mini version of the display on Apple's original iMac flat-panel all-in-one computers, with a clear frame around a white border that surrounds the 5.4-by-3.6-inch, 133ppi LCD panel. And while it's not cheap, it largely delivers on the promise this type of accessory offers. Philips's entry, the Digital Photo Display 7FF1, is a compact, sleek model that's part of this new breed of digital photo frame. However, that's changing as prices come down for higher-resolution displays that serve up sharper pictures as well as convenient features more suited to digital camera users. The combination of high prices and mediocre image quality has hurt their growth. Digital photo frames have been around for a while, but they haven't taken off nearly as fast as the digital photo market.
