Sony recently introduced a trio of new digital photo frames, the HD Series S-Frame. Digital frames may have been that boring gift you bought for your mother on Mother’s Day, which doesn’t even get used, but this new fame is special. It not only lets consumers display their favorite photos, but also comes packed with 1920×1080 HD video playback.
The new models, the 10-inch WSVGA LCD DPF-HD1000, eight-inch WVGA LCD DPF-HD800, and seven-inch WVGA LCD DPF-HD700, offer AVCHD and MP4 video playback in vivid colors on their high-res LED backlight screens and an image processor that scales and displays content up to 192 megapixels.
Sony says the frame is capable of handling footage taken from HD camcorders, plus you can always load up your own digital copies of movies as long as they’re in the correct format. Some other features include 2GB of internal storage for pictures, video and music, display and effects modes to easily create original photo slideshows, and support for USB thumb drives, SD, SDHC, SDXC Memory Card and Memory Stick PRO Duo.
Display all your photos and possibly catch up on those old Harry Potter movies with these tablet-sized screens, when they’re available in September from the Sony Style Store starting at $120.
