There is a lot of variety and competition when it comes to choosing a digital photo frame. Well I decided to review one of the photo frames that I purchased online, the Transcend TS2GPF720K, because it was a pretty sweet deal. The 7 inch photo frame itself has some nice features such as built in speakers, video playback, and an auto orientation sensor that will adjust your pictures to landscape or portrait modes. There are also a variety of ways to upload pictures to the frame via USB, Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Compact Flash, Multi-Media Cards, Memory Sticks, and Micro SD cards. It pretty much has a built in card reader that doubles as expandable memory. Since it already has 2GB of internal memory, that extra space will display much more with those storage devices. Another nice thing they added was a remote control to control the slide show and other features but it’s something not necessary to include since I already have a bunch of remotes sitting right in my living room.
The resolution of 800 x 480 displays nice crisp colors on a TFT LCD screen with a frame rate of 30fps which is quite good for viewing any videos. Models like the Sony DPF-D70 is comparable to this model because it offers the same features such as video playback however the DPF-D70 has features such as HDMI output that is not found in the TS2GPF720K. Which means that you can display it on a TV and have an even bigger display. Other than that, there’s not much of a difference between the two brands besides a few add ons. It is entirely up to your taste if HDMI is needed for your slide show or not.
The video playback that is available on the T-Photo 720 can support avi., mov., mpg., mp4., and 3gp which is very useful if you like to use a particular format over another. Although, it is not the ideal place to view your videos, it is a nice feature to have just to impress everyone. The LCD screen also helps to present nice clean videos running up to 720 X 576 resolution. The photo frame also supports key codecs like Divx and Xvid for smoother transitions in video frames. Even with those specifications, there are other devices that would do a better job at playing videos like your computer. It is a shame that there are no Wi-Fi capabilities for the TS2GPF720K where there are a handful of digital photo frames that have this feature.
Nowadays, digital photo frames can be quite expensive with an average range of about $120-$130 per unit. The TS2GPF720K can be found as low as $105.99 with free shipping on the internet. Saving a good 15 dollars per unit is not a bad for a very good photo frame. Overall, this is a great buy to get the most out of your money. With so many features, there’s not much you can complain about except if there was a bigger LCD screen. Currently, they only have a 7″ screen but possibly in the near future it’ll get to 10″ or more.
