Besides the information in this digital photo frame review, we also made a video showing some features of the 7 inch digital photo frame. Check it below:
Testing the Digital Photo Frame
To check which formats and codecs (image, music and video) this digital photo frame is capable of play, we decided to make for this review some tests by just trying to play a specific format/codec. However, note that we did not tried all the existing formats and codecs, but just those that we consider popular. In some cases we tested more than one codec per format, because the file format is just a container. By the way, if you need a file converter, we recommend the software Format Factory.
Image Test (**)
In our image test this digital photo frame was able to play JPG / JPEG files, however did not played BMP, GIF, ICO, PCX and PNG files.
For the JPG / JPEG, we also tried images with high resolution: 1920x1080, 3840x2160, 7680x4320. It was able to play all the three files, however the third one (7680x4320) was loaded a little slower than normal (expected for a resolution so high).
Music Test (Audio Test)
Now, in our music test, the 7 inch digital photo frame (flower decorated) was able to play MP2, MP3 and WMA music files, but did not played AAC, AMR, FLAC, M4A, M4R, MMF, OGG and WAV.
Video Test
Finally, in this video test, the DPF was able to play the following formats and codecs:
- AVI [XVID 432x240].
- DAT [MPEG1 352x240].
- MPG [MPEG1 352x288].
- MPG [MPEG2 480x576].
- VOB [MPEG2 720x576].
However, it did not played the following formats and codecs:
- AVI [XVID 853x480]. (***)
- AVI [AVC 1136x480].
