I'm kind of curious about people's thoughts on electronic picture frames. Does anyone have one/know someone who does?
I feel like these came out and then sort of disappeared, except for the ones that reappeared more recently with videoconferencing functions (e.g., the Alexa one or the Facebook one).
There was always a part of me that thought they'd be kind of cool for showcasing anime/vocal synth artwork. They'd be more or less inconspicuous, and they could store as many of your favorite pics as you need. Especially if they had a slideshow feature, they would also be really good if you liked a lot of art/pics, but had limited space.
But I never really pulled the trigger on getting one. To begin with, they're electronic, so you have to have either a battery or plug them in. If you think about it, most of the pictures in your home are probably things you don't look at every day. So something that draws power constantly seemed inefficient. The other thing is, I think wall-mounted pictures/posters/etc. are really only appealing if they're available the moment you want to see them. If you can't just look up and see them, for me at least, it seems like there's little point. In the little research I did, electronic frames don't seem to show their pics all the time (to save power/the battery/prevent burning-in of the screen, I suppose).
I don't know, those are just my thoughts. To be honest, I'm not really considering getting one at this point, but I've been curious for awhile what other people think/how popular the electronic frames are.
