PhotoVu Digital Picture Frames


Does the PhotoVu digital frame play digital videos? Does it have speakers so I can listen to music too?

Yes, many smaller frames on the market play videos and mp3’s, etc. We have seen and tried them all. They do it very poorly because it takes a lot of computing power to process those videos and more amplifier power and bigger speakers to play decent audio — something your cheapo digital picture is not going to have.

When considering purchase of a digital picture frame, ask yourself, “self, do I really want to watch videos on my digital picture frame?” We don’t think so – that’s what your HDTV is for! Worse yet, ask yourself, “self, do I really want to listen to my music from a tiny speaker inside a digital picture frame, coming from somewhere up on a wall?” We again don’t think so — that’s what 200watt audio amps and big floor speakers are for!

Bottom line, we decided not to add video or audio to our PhotoVus, because playing videos or music on your digital photo frame is a very unsatisfying experience for the reasons above. We believe that a PhotoVu should display your super high resolution digital photos and do it very well. If you’ve spent as much as we have on photo processing over the years, that money alone warrants a dedicated device to maximize your enjoyment of that investment. PhotoVu simply focuses on doing one thing very, very well — we turn your lifelong investment in photos into a never ending stream of smiles. And we’ve been doing it for five years now like nobody else.
