A normal LCD or plasma TV isn't designed to show still images like that. The picture frame also doesn't need as good response time, inputs, or any of the things you normally look for in a television. It can be disgustingly basic, keeping the price down bigtime. I think you can score an entry level 32" television for like... $550 now, can't you? If this thing is more than $300, they blew it.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/

Look how cheap this is.

And that's a normal monitor. This picture frame thing could have the absolute most shit specs ever outside of its ability to display a still image.

Digital photo frames are idiotic. Complete waste of energy for something that can be done with a stationary print (unless you change out your picture frames 10 times a day).

Just something else grandma can use to trick you into watching her slideshows. ]]>Sep 23rd 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/

I wouldn't want wall art that glows all night long.

It is a good concept that will be in everyone's home eventually. I'm just waiting for nanotechnology wall paint that can display images so that we can be in a small apartment and get a high def view of mountains or whatever, like in Total Recall.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/Sep 23rd 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/

So its a 32" HDTV. Or about 28"W x 16"H. At 1366x768, that's about 48 pixels per inch in both directions. Does that seem like its anywhere near enough to make a still image look good?

I know HDTVs of this size with these sorts of resolutions look perfectly fine, but those have MOVING pictures on them. Movement hides a lot of sins. Just pause the picture on your DVR and look at it carefully for a minute. You'll see all sorts of compression artefacts that you don't see when the video is in motion.

Seems like this would have to be on the order of 200 or 300dpi to really look like a picture, no?]]>Sep 23rd 2008 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/
I have a 40" 1080p television that I do some casual photo editing on. Believe me, the 6MP images from my DSLR look quite nice on that TV.

I think it'll look just fine, except for the glow of the backlight making it look very, um, TV-ee. That's pretty much the big drawback on all of these LCD picture frames: they don't look like a picture as, um, pictured, but like a bright monitor.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/Sep 23rd 2008 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/Sep 23rd 2008 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/Sep 23rd 2008 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/Sep 24th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/Sep 23rd 2008 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/smartparts-busts-out-32-inch-sp3200wf-wifi-digiframe/
