Audiovox digital picture frame looks godd when you look at it from above

The Audiovox digital picture frame looks good when you look at it from above. When you view the Audiovox from other angles its dark. It handles complex images okay but the low resolution and low contrast make it NOT WORTH Purchasing. The white frames also are very hard to match with existing furniture. I would highly recommend getting a digital photo frame that has changeable frames or a wooden frame.

All that maters is the resolution of the frame - Don't Be Fooled

I have seen many digital photo frames advertise they hold 100 10 megapixel photos or 50 12 megapixel photos. This is a scam, it doesn't matter. All that matters is the resolution of the picture frame (and maybe the contrast ratio).

If you do not see 1024x768 or 800x600 resolution your going to be sorry.

Your going to have pay at least $125-$175 for a cheap good resolution frame but believe me when you try and show a sunrise or sunset, you will thank me.

I have included a description of a frame that is sub par. It was listed for under $100 (a first sign that that frame is not a good selection).

Using a timer can make your digital photo frame environmentally friendly

Using a timer can make your digital photo frame environmentally friendly. A lot of the under $200 digital photography frames do not have built in timers. I found that its just as easy to buy one. Most of these digital photoframes come on and automatically start playing the photographs on the memory cards. If you have music on the memory card it will more than likely play the music also (if this is a feature of the frame).

Why do the Digital Photo frames look better in the store?

Why do the Digital Photo frames look better in the store?

They are showing images that look good with there frames. Mostly head shots and shots with dramatically different colors. In real life we usually don't take a lot of the same shots.

Its the frames with high contract ratios that show the wide range of shots:

(larger number):1 is how its usually displayed on the box
3000:1 is what the Insignia has.

Export Your Photos To Save Space On Your Digital Photo Frame

Don't comprise image quality too much but sometimes dragging and dropping the image from your camera is a sure way to not get the maximum number of photos on your memory card.

I would recommend using whatever program you use to store your photos to export them out at the same resolution as the frame.

It doesn't make sense to load a 10 megapixel image on a digital photo frame that only shows 1024x768.

Resolution Is The Key To Picture Quality

The Venture has to be around the resolution of most digital keychains - its bad

The Audivox is a little better at 480x234

The Insignia is the best of this group with 640x480.

From my experience don't get a digital photo frame with less than 640x480 because low light or complex shots may appear blurry or pixelated.

I would also check the contrast of any digital photo frame you buy because that matters also.

Don't mix horizontal and vertical shots

The first lesson I learned is that you should be cautious mixing photos that are shot horizontal and vertical. On the cheaper frames this looks bad on the more expensive frames over $175 or screens that have high resolution (1024x768) that are larger (7" or bigger) they look better.
