While most digital picture frames are small, PhotoVu wants to stand from the crowd by developing a large 19-inch widescreen digital photo frame called PV1965w. This frame comes with a 16:10 viewing format and a wireless connectivity, allowing it to directly display photos from your PC with no wired attached. It is currently available for $1,199 which is pretty expensive for a frame. However, you can keep $200 out of it if you order the non-wireless version, PV1965 model.

This news reminds me of my digital photo frame from Google AdSense which doesn’t work very well (ie: it won’t display images uploaded from PC). With that billion of dollar profit, at the very least the company can give me something that work properly, right? So anyway, what about this “TPF7071″ from Thomson? Well, like ordinary digital photo frame, this one can display photos as well as playback your MP3 song collection. You can see the picture on its 7-inch display (480×234, 262K colors, 350cd/m2 brightness) and hear the music via its built-in speaker. The media files themself can be stored either on a USB disk or a media cards (CF/SD/MMC/MS/MSP).

Apart from the lack of video playback, Thomson’s TPF7071 digital photo frame looks just fine. Interested?
