My Mother in Law, who has always given me the most ridiculous Christmas gifts, this year hit a home run, at least for me. She gave everyone, about 6 of us, a Frameo Digital photo frame. I of course ignored it, having had one of these 10 years ago, and found it worthless. However, my son in law set his up before we left, and I found myself watching it.

When we got home, I set mine up, and now, months later, I find myself watching it every day. I don’t know how many photos it holds, but I have put several hundred on there. You set when it turns on and off, how long each photo is displayed, and it really works. All those great photos that you never look at, are now displayed daily. We have ours set up in the kitchen, where I see it while cooking, and it is visible from my chair in the TV room.

I have no idea how much it cost, but had I known, I would have bought one for myself.

In Nov 2018, I purchased my third digital frame from Amazon - NIX Advance- 15 inch Digital Photo & HD Video. The order history says it was $201. The frame runs nonstop on my kitchen counter, displaying images from a 32GB SD card. Periodically, I run another batch export from LR for images resized to the pixel dimensions of the frame, 1024-pixels wide.

I don't like how vertical images display, so I only use horizontal (landscape aspect) images. Whenever I finish editing a new batch of images (or revisit older images), I filter my LR catalog for those images in landscape and add a few into the LR collection that represents the frame content. A LR Export User preset handles all the specifics of the match export, including renaming the images to an 8x3 format and sorting by capture-date. The last mass-export in Jan-2024 created 11,494 images. Something interesting is always being displayed whenever I walk by and look, covering images back to scanned film from the 80s through the most recent mass-export.

The Nix wasn't listed at Amazon, so if I had to find a 4rth frame, I'd carefully read all the comments. The wifi and time-out / motion control aspects seemed very problematic back in 2018, so I don't use those features. Really long names of files also seemed to cause problems, hence my renaming instructions in the Export preset.

Unless you are pro on a thankless job, most of us enjoy the process of photography. It seems reasonable that we would also our enjoy the results of that process. When we look at images from an album, a shoe box or digital frame, we only get to enjoy the images, but also remember our lives at the time.

My 17 inch frame has a setting where it turns off if no one is in the room, comes back on when someone enters. I kind of like that.

I bought one of those years ago... But I wanted something bigger: A 32 inch TV does the job now, uses USB thumb drive, and set up to change the picture every minute. It hangs in my living room.

We have an “Aura” frame, it is cloud based I think it is limitless as we have about 2,000 images on it. So easy to use simply send images and 20 second clips to it via the Aura app

I had a tablet that I used for a project. When I finished with the project I converted it into a digital frame by just setting it up to show the screen saver as a sequence of photos. I used it for a while but it was an 8" tablet and kind of got lost in the clutter.

I had a 30" tv on the wall. It could take a thumb drive full of photos and display them. I really like the large size because you notice it. It takes more power than the tiny digital frame but you don't have to have it on all the time. We only turned it on when we wanted to look at the photos or when we had guests.

After importing my memory card to PSE, I put it in my frame to watch while and before editing .
Comes in handy! Plus great for edited photos later.
Love it!

I used to frame/hang photos on my "I Love Me Wall".
Now I have two fifteen-inch digital photo frames & a very old ten-inch frame.
One frame for memories one frame for recent pics, and one frame for "Best Of" shots.
I now bulk resize everything and download the resized (to just over 1 mb each) files directly to a 32/64 gb SD card.
Then I pop the SD card into a frame. That is all there is to it.
The frames are motion sensitive to turn off when there is no one in the room.
Now there is no clutter on the walls and I would Never go back. These frames make me Smile Many, MANY times a day.
Smile,

I have a digital frame in my kitchen that runs 24/7. I also have Amazon Prime which has unlimited free photo storage (Amazon Photo), and also if you have Amazon FireStick you get free PHOTO app that will display all your pictures on Amazon photo. The firestick is $40, less on sale and I have one on all my TV sets to watch YouTube, Pluto and all that rot.

I resize all my photo's for display on my TV's, all of which are HD 1920x1080 resolution. This allows instant access to all photo's on Amazon Photo via the Firestick free PHOTO app, for Beautiful display on all your big screen TV's. You can do individual photo's, slide shows of just favorites, just folders for things like trips and so on. Super nice and almost free if you have Amazon Prime.

I currently have 3500+ photo's on the unlimited storage and just under 5 GB of movies. Free movie storage is limited to 5 GB. This a many times better than showing slides on your wall like in the 70's and '80's, and you can surely discourage guests from visiting too often or long, just like you did with your exciting slide shows.

Sounds like a variation of a cell phone. My daughter-in-law gave me one for Xmas. Every bit of 6" high (or wide, depending on orientation set). If I think of it, I will hunt it up and plug it in when I know she is coming to visit.
