Widescreen Photo Frame Intimidates your HDTV

In 1953 the first widescreen movie wowed theater audiences by providing a vastly superior experience to squinting at a mostly square B&W image on that incredible new device… the Television. Suddenly people all over the world realized one critical truth – “Wider really is Better”. Skip forward over half a century to the present… widescreen TVs are in every home and ThinkGeek offers you this fine 7″ Widescreen Digital Photo Frame. Coincidence? We think not. Display your photos a-la-widescreen and appeal to your geeky side with the cool USB host feature that allows you to pull images from a USB thumbdrive or external USB hard drive.

Of course you get the standard support for a myriad of media cards… including the one your digital camera uses. Plug n’ view capabilities mean the photos start playing the moment you insert a media card… plus you get a handy remote, smooth cross-fades between images and support for videos and MP3 files for background music.

Simply take the memory card out of your camera and insert it into the Digital Picture Frame. Instantly you can view all of your photos as thumbnails or a slide show with crossfade between images. For added pizzazz you can play an MP3 music file during your slide show using the digital photo frame’s internal speaker. The Digital Picture Frame supports four different media formats and will work with almost any digital camera. The included remote allows you to jump between photos, or zoom up on a photo without leaving your chair.
