Using The Nintendo Wii As A Digital Photo Frame For Your TV

A lot of people do not know how many functions the Nintendo Wii has. One of the most under mentioned features is the ability to use it as digital photo frame. The Nintendo Wii has a SD slot and a built in Photo viewer. Even though it is not going to be the

Photo Channel 1.1 is the latest photo viewer for the Nintendo Wii. If you don't have you should be able to connect the Wii to your wireless network and download the latest version. After you insert your Sd card into the front hidden compartment, right under the CD loading system. Using the Wii pointer you can launch this app. It will then ask you if you want to view the images from the SD card or internal memory. Select SD card. Pick a picture and move the pointer to the bottom lower right corner of the screen. Select slide show and your off.

You can also use this to edit photos and publish to the internet. You can also send them to friends via email and a wireless connection.

The Nintendo Wii plus Photo Channel 1.1 (a free program that comes with the Wii) is not a bad solution for a photo viewer and great for an video game system too. The quality is great for display it on a TV. I am unsure of the picture quality but it has to be equal to or better than 800x600 and it does not look pixelated like what you expect.

This digital photo frame runs below $75. it will not show high end photo well. It will show brightly lit face shots adequately enough. There is a noticeable difference in this frame and some of the newer models that have better resolution (that means less noticeable distortion).

If you have to stay under $100 I would have to say wait. Without power saving features I think that this frame will cost more in the long run than some of the other frames with a power saving feature. I also think that the lack of remote and large pixels make this a photo frame that has some noticeable downsides compared to its peers.

The price difference will show up when you try to show any other pictures than face shots that are brightly lit.

The LCD they use has only one optimal viewing angle. That means that in order to get the a clear picture of the digital photo you need to be standing in the exact right location. This is not a good feature to have in a digital photo frame.

Getting photos on it was simple enough. The interchangeable face plates are nice but it doesn't make up for the lack in picture quality.

I received this as a gift so its okay but if your a serious photographer or someone who will want to show more than brightly lit face shots than you will be better off spending the extra money and getting a digital photo frame like any of the Kodak models I have seen flying off the store shelves.

Make Your Digital Photo Frame Green

Use a digital timer or regular timer if you want to make you digital photo-frame green. Its a cost effective way of handling it and will usually save you around $50 - $100 on a frame with the feature built in.
