Are you still using the drab ordinary picture frames to showcase your beautiful moments? It's time for a change. Today, with everything changing into digital, photo frames are no exemption. Yes, today picture frames are going digital too and giving us such a wonderful choice of pictures in a new-age format. A digital picture frame looks almost similar to a small LCD screen that can display pictures (photos) stored in the memory card or in the inbuilt memory of the picture frame. The quality of the image displayed in these photo frames will be simply superb. However, before you opt to buy a digital picture frame, there are several things to be noted.

First things first- The resolution of display

Most of the digital picture frames show the images in high quality. This depends upon the resolution of the picture frame you choose. There are many different resolution options available. However, selecting a digital picture frame with 640x480 resolutions as a minimum will be good. If you have little more cash to spend on these frames, getting one with 800x600 resolutions will present crisp and sharp images. Any digital picture frame below 640x480 res screen will not display images as in the original photo- it will be blurred with very poor quality.

The Storage Space

These digital picture frames store the images in its memory in a digital format (jpeg or bmp). Most of the frames use an inbuilt memory while you can boost up the space using memory cards if you need to store more pictures. The compatibility of the memory cards with the pictures frames has to be taken into account. The picture frame has to support the same memory card that you use for your digital camera.
