Are there any decent digital picture frames yet, want a decent size about 8x10 or bigger, quality is important?

I notice you can get 15" 1024x768 frames now for £200. It's hilarious though that camera makers are selling us 12MP cameras, and we're displaying them on sub 1MP screens

Re: Digital Picture Frames

I bought a phililps one ages ago - only 7" but proper 3:2 resolution rather than the more common 4:3. It also had a good screen. I can definitely recommend philips, but don't know if they do anything as big as you'd want.

Thats the problem I have buying another one - eg dixons have the Kodak 10" wifi photo frame, which would be ideal as I normally can't be bothered updating the photos on the philips.

But if its got a rubbish screen its no good to me. Too many of the ones I looked at had very narrow viewing angles. and for photo frames that you have up on the shelf, a wide viewing angle is essential IMO.

Don't suppose anyone has comments on the Kodak 10" wifi frame? or anywhere that has reviews of frames?

Another for the Philips. I picked a 7" one up for £90 inc postage from fleabay. They also do a 9" one but it's quite expensive. I did notice a vast difference in quality between the cheap ones and the expensive ones.
