A closer look into its features will throw more light into its utility aspects.

Philips SPF2017-12 Digital Photo Frame

Design and Display:

The Philips SPF2017/12 7″ photo frame is picture perfect like its display. Bordering with black helps create a bold and beautiful effect on any of the pictures displayed. With dimensions of 194 millimetres in width, 158.8 in height and 23 in depth, it is a sleek frame. The model stands firmly on the tabletop with a weight of 359 grams. In addition to it, it has a stand for support. The photo frame can be wall mounted too. This gives flexibility so that the frame can be used either to brighten up a wall or a table top. Photos are displayed in the aspect ratio of 4:3 that makes it free from distortion. There is no need to change the size of the picture to suit the frame due to this feature. The panel resolution of 800×600 pixels results in very high clarity. The contrast ratio is about 300:1 which enables vibrant display and presentation.

User interface features:

  • The user enjoys simple and sensitive operations. The frame is easy to use and pretty straightforward. The user buttons are found behind the display screen and can be effortlessly navigated.
  • The display of the pictures is most effective in the slide show presentation. There is an automatic mode for slide show that makes it all the more hassle free. The frame can be timed according to the user preference too. The other modes of display are full screen either in portrait or landscape mode.
  • The photo frame comes with the auto orientation feature that automatically adjusts the picture to landscape or portrait according to the position of the frame. These automatic adjustments make it all the more easy for the user.
  • Yet another user friendly feature is the auto timing display. Philips High Resolution Slim Digital Picture Frame is enabled to be on standby mode automatically. This enables energy conservation.
  • For quick photo search, the frame enables the pictures to be displayed in thumbnail mode. This makes it easy for quick browsing and fast access to the photo menu.

  • The accessories provided along with the photo frame are the AC/DC adaptor, the CD-ROM digital user manual, quick start guide and stand.

Memory and Power:

The SPF2017/12  Digital Picture photo frame is very modest in terms of memory capacity. It enjoys 512mb of memory that can hold about 500 pictures. However, the frame comes equipped to accept SD, SDHC, xD cards, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Plus and other multimedia cards. This enables the transfer of the pictures effortlessly into the frame. It can be connected to a personal computer too making it even more feasible as it is well supported by Windows Vista, 2000 and XP. The power is from the mains.

Philips SPF2017/12 High Resolution Black Colour Digital Photo Frame is not enabled with audio and video features making it very modest.
