Westinghouse introduces new 14.1-inch digital photo frame
Westinghouse Digital is showing off its new 14.1-inch photo frame. The DPF-1411 allows users to view their digital photos on a screen much larger than traditional photo frames as well as play back videos with support for JPEG, Motion JPEG, and AVI files.
The DPF-1411 screen has a 1280 x 800 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. The frame has a 128MB of built-in internal memory to store pictures and video and is compatible with a variety of different memory cards for additional storage. The frame also uses Westinghouse’s MosaicView technology, which allows users to view several different pictures at once on the same screen.
Other features of the frame include:
• AVI Motion JPEG Player
• MosaicView™ slideshow technology
• Auto-play after memory card insertion
• Color adjustment function
• Individual slideshow or picture view
• Wide range of transitional styles and variable picture speeds for slideshows
• Random picture shuffle
• Extendable stand for angle adjustment
• Wall-mountable: 75 x 75 mm hole pattern
• MSRP of $299
I think the biggest thing to note about this particular photo frame is its size. Fourteen inches is a pretty substantial size for a photo frame. While I really like that Westinghouse has changed it up a bit from the traditional 7-10inch screen sizes, I also can’t think of a place where I would put a 14-inch digital photo frame … that’s a pretty big frame.
Another interesting aspect of this frame is the whole MosaicView thing that allows you to check out multiple pictures at once. That’s actually a pretty neat idea, a definite welcome change of pace from the traditional fade between pictures.
Do you see a place in your life for a photo frame this large? What about the MosaicView? Would you use that feature or would you stick to mostly full screen pics?
