Coby Keychain 1.5 inch Photo Frame

Coby Keychain 1.5 inch Photo FrameEditor’s note: No support for MacOS, and their support team doesn’t reply to emails.

A teeny tiny little photo frame for gadget lovers with everything.

Well, Christmas is on the way and little stocking fillers are out in force. At only 1.5 inches, this is a really small monitor and only holds a limited number of pictures. It comes on a keyring, and will probably weight down your keys, but be great for sharing photos with friends.

The included software allows pictures to be easily edited for use on the very small screen. Options include reducing the size of the picture as well as being able to zoom in on the picture.

The Coby keychain charges over USB, so it needs to be connected to a powered USB port if you use a USB port.

For only $25 there is no harm in trying one and it suits the budget for a cool toy at a great price.

Matsunichi 5.6 inch Digital Photo Frame

Matsunichi Digital Photo FrameDecent sized photo frame for displaying family pictures. The clean design makes it suit pretty much anywhere in the house, without looking like an electronic gadget.

The death of the printed picture has been on the cards for a while. The Matsunichi digital photo frame offers a 5.6 inch screen which can display pictures form a variety of memory cards. Price is still puts me off getting one personally, but at such a low price it looks a little more feasible.

Here are some features of the photo frame:

  • 5.6 inch screen
  • 4:3 aspect ratio
  • 65 degree viewing angle
  • MMC, MS, SD and XD memory card slots
  • JPG, TIFF and BMP support
  • 13 transitions
  • Landscape or portrait display

The viewing range is decent, but the image will not be clear to those sitting next to the picture. This could be better, but gives a good view from almost any angle. The variety of card slots is good, but if you don’t have one of those types, don’t buy this frame, as there is no USB port to transfer information to the frame.

There are buttons at the rear of the frame for adjusting settings, but once you have set it up, it will automatically play pictures in a preset order. Remember that it needs to be plugged in, so a wall socket should be close by.

A good price for a good price for a decent photo frame that does what it is supposed to do.
