I thought buying a TV was bad, but today I wanted to find a good digital picture frame. What a shit show, it seems that search term has even more fake review sites and SEO spam than other electronics, Amazon is full of Chinese brands with random names selling the same few models, and with even the apparently good ones it's hard to find out what they actually do and what not. And then in the fine print you find you they want to sell you a subscription, too, and presumably the thing will be worthless if the company decides to pull their app or shut down their servers.
I just want a frame that I can send pics to, or that pulls from google/dropbox/whatever shares, and maybe turn off when it's dark.

- shellfishgene 5y agoIf this wasn't for a birthday present next week I would have, finding a screen that works and has decent viewing angles seems difficult?
- justnotworthit 5y agoI doubt there will be high quality small frames in the near future. But for 32" plus, Samsung's got you (dunno about the connectivity, though): https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/tvs/the-frame/ https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/tvs/the-... https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/tvs/the-frame/art-mode/ https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/tvs/the-...
