ClearFrame Digital Photo Frame

The ClearFrame Digital Photo Frame from Delva Home puts a 12.7 cm IPS display inside a clear acrylic body, so the screen appears to float rather than sit in a bezel. It reads as an object on a shelf rather than as a gadget, which is the usual failing of digital frames.

The IPS panel is the part that matters: it holds colour and contrast at an angle, so a photo still looks right when you walk past it rather than only from directly in front. It runs at 1080p and plays photos, videos and music from 4GB of built-in storage or from a USB stick or SD card.

A 1200 mAh battery gives up to four hours away from a socket, and it charges over USB. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, BMP, MP4, MOV and MP3. At this size it suits a desk, a shelf or a bedside, and it makes a straightforward gift already loaded with photos.
