Venturer DPF811SE


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.
