Forget about wireless, audio or video capabilities, the most important things I want in a digital picture frame are size and resolution. But for some reason these have taken a back seat to other features people will rarely use. I mean what’s the point of owning an 8+ mega-pixel digital camera when you’re only going to show off your photos on a 640×480 pixel (or less) display?
Thankfully this Gigantor digital photo frame is a step in the right direction. At 15 inches in size it looks like a giant when compared to other frames on the market, and it has a half-decent resolution of 1024×768. I mean we can still do better, but this is a good start. Other features include support for 8 different types of memory cards, a USB port for flash drives and will play MP3 audio or MPEG 1, 2 and 4 video files.
The best part of the Gigantor digital photo frame though is the $249.99 price tag from ThinkGeek. At only $100 more than most other digital frames on the market, I’d definitely recommend spending the extra money.

I think this crosses the line between picture frame to monitor. For gods sake, its bigger than the laptop next to it! Save the money and just put your pictures on your screen saver.
