An Unfortunate Grope of SmartParts' Fugly Digital Photo Frame/Printer

Digital photo frames were the spammiest product spam at CES, lurking around every corner with their crappiness so I still have a biley taste in my mouth. SmartParts' efforts to pile crappy function atop crappy function with a built-in photo printer, unsurprisingly just amounts to one big crapgasm. On the front, it looks like any other generic frame, but peer behind its faux-elegant bezel and you'll see some serious junk in the trunk. More »

World's Largest: Smartparts 32-Inch Digital Picture Frame is Aptly Named

Well Hung: When we saw the first announcement of the Smartparts 32" digital picture frame, we were wondering just how good the 1366x768 panel would look. We saw it tonight, and it's super-sharp. It's so big, it needs mounting hardware if you're hanging it on your wall, but it just might be worth the trouble. While it's not as svelte as that unreal Pioneer concept plasma display, it looks reasonably thin, about four inches at its deepest point, so it'll lie pretty flat on your wall. Brewer's Droop: It has 16:9 aspect ratio, not the same as most digital cameras, and it has no Wi-Fi connectivity. Company officials say we may have to wait until next year for sending pics to it online. Until then, not to worry—it's simply stunning as it is.


size matters

Smartparts Shows Giant 32-Inch Digital Picture Frame

We've seen big digital picture frames before, but Smartparts takes the prize for biggest one yet: a 32-inch digital picture frame that'll be rolling out at CES 2008. The 16:9 LCD panel has a resolution of 1366x768, which might look pretty good if you don't get too close. It has another neat twist, the ability to feed any picture to the printer of your choice for a hard copy of your pics. Since most cameras shoot in 4:3, though, we would have rather had a 4:3 frame, but still, if size matters to you, this is might be the frame you've been waiting for. Look for this big bruiser to hit stores in February for $899. [Smartparts]
