One of the hottest items this holiday season is the digital picture frame. These handy devices make it easy to share your favorite digital photos that may have otherwise simply languished unnoticed on your hard drive. One of the most popular frames is the 7-Inch Philips Digital Picture Frame with a resolution of 720 x 480 pixels and a $180 price tag. There are, of course, cheaper frames available, but you will likely see a corresponding reduction in resolution.

The Philips model has one of the highest pixel densities of any LCD display available (contains 88% more pixels per square inch than most LCD monitors). The display is designed to reproduce a full range of vibrant colors; the same as you would find in professionally printed photos. The frames on the Philips digital picture frame are also interchangeable, allowing you to switch from wood, glass, or metal.
