Are digital art picture frames worth the high price tag?<\/h2>

Many digital art picture frames are significantly more expensive than your standard premium digital frames. Their price tags can reach as high as $1,000 and over. Much of this steep price is due to their large display<\/a> panel and high-resolution screen \u2013 often leading to sacrifices being made to the frame\u2019s feature set, ease of use, longevity, or versatility. Unless you\u2019re already a successful artist or professional photographer, you\u2019d get much better performance and value for money from a premium frame like the Pix-Star, though the display won\u2019t be quite as large or as high-resolution.<\/p> <\/div>

How to load photos to Pix-Star\u2019s digital art picture frames?<\/h2>

Pix-Star\u2019s digital art picture frames are one of the most versatile on the market \u2013 especially when it comes to loading and syncing photos, videos, and audio files. Unlike many other premium frames, Pix-Star\u2019s frames don\u2019t rely on company servers for daily access to your loaded photos (as is the case with Aura frames<\/a>). Media that\u2019s sent to the frames are saved directly to the frame\u2019s internal storage (and then backed up to the cloud).The easiest way to send photos to Pix-Star\u2019s frames is via the mobile app. It\u2019s available on Android & iOS and doesn\u2019t require account creation to use. You can send up to 250 photos in one go \u2013 to several Pix-Star frames at the same time. You can also send videos & record audio messages and send them to any Pix-Star frames (as long as you have their unique email address).Pix-Star\u2019s photo-mail function lets you send photos as attachments to emails directed to your frame\u2019s address. Each Pix-Star frame has a unique address and incoming photos can be set to automatically save to internal storage, backup to the cloud, or play in the current slideshow.Other great ways to send photos include Pix-Star\u2019s web album feature.

How to set up digital art picture frames in my home?<\/h2>

When setting up digital art picture frames in your home, the first consideration is where you\u2019ll put them. Do you want to wall-mount the frame? Or will you rest it on a flat surface like a table or mantelpiece? The answer to this depends on your personal preference, the size of the frame, and whether or not it can be remotely controlled. Large frames that can be controlled from anywhere in the room are arguably best mounted on the wall.The next consideration is which orientation to place the frame in. This depends on the type of photos & videos you\u2019ll be showing on the frame and its aspect ratio. Narrower aspect ratios like 16:9 and 16:10 are probably best placed in a landscape orientation; whereas 4:3 digital frames can be placed in either orientation with greater versatility.You also have to consider what your frame supports. For example, high-end digital frames like the Pix-Star support both landscape & portrait orientations (for both landscape & portrait use too). They support using a standard VESA mount (actual mount purchased separately), dedicated hanging holes, and an attachable stand that does a great job at hiding the power inlet cable.<\/p> <\/div>

How many photos can digital art picture frames hold?<\/h2>

The number of photos digital art picture frames can hold depends on 3 factors. Firstly, the size of the frame\u2019s internal storage matters the most. Many premium digital picture frames offer 4 to 8GB of internal storage, though some offer as much as 16GB, with others offering as low as 128MB or no flash storage).Secondly, whether or not the frame supports USB\/SD cards is important (and the size restrictions on supported ones). If you can plug-and-play slideshows from a connected USB\/SD card, this virtually expands your storage space by whatever the capacity of the card or drive is.Thirdly, the number of photos you can hold depends on the resolution of the photos & the display. If you send 1920×1080 photos to a 1024×768 frame, a lot of storage space will be wasted. Frames with higher resolutions will naturally require larger photos to best make use of the screen\u2019s higher resolution.Digital art picture frames like the Pix-Star let you store around 30,000 photos on the frame\u2019s 8GB internal storage. This number varies depending on the size of the photos you send, and whether you load videos to the frame as well. Pix-Star\u2019s digital frames also support USB\/SD cards with no size limits and offer free-for-life cloud storage (and automatic cloud backups with remote management possible).<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
