| | | Digital Frames, sometimes called Digital Picture Frames or Digital Photo Frames, contain an LCD screen usually 6-10" across, about the size of a medium-sized framed photo you might put on a desk or mantle. Digital frames let you flip through a slide show of your personal photographs by connecting to your computer, connecting to the Internet, or by attaching a digital camera to the frame to read the photos into the frame. | | |
| Typical costs: | - Small, keychain-sized or small desk frames can be found for $30-$100. Examples include the Royal 1.4" Digital Frame with travel clock at Target.com and the Smartparts Personal Digital Keychain Photo Album at Amazon.com.
