Remember when you use to get photos printed and look at them on something other than a monitor or mobile? Those times seem long past with the evolution of camera phones, digital cameras, tablets and social media. But there is a way you can still enjoy your photos on display, and that’s via a digital photo frame.
The Nix 8 inch digital frame is a well constructed and easy to use digital frame which is the perfect present for someone who doesn’t have access to internet and therefore doesn’t get to see many photos friends and family post online.
The Nix 8 doesn't come with any built in memory, you need to supply a USB or SD card. Load your chosen media up with digital photos (and music/videos if you like) and pop it into the digital frame, it immediately recognizes the photos and starts to displayed them.
Pictures look great on the 800 x 600 screen, really crisp and clear. The Nix 8 menu is easy to use and gives you a number of options, the most useful one being photo display time. By default photos changed every 3 seconds, which was fine when testing it, but felt far too quick for everyday use. For general use having it change once an hour felt about right.
As you're unlikely to want photos displayed when you're not in the room the Nix 8 comes with a motion sensor. When someone enters the room the frame shows a photo, and will continue to do so while it senses motion. Once motion is no longer detected it will wait a set time (changeable in the menu) before turning the display off.
The Nix 8 is a great digital photo frame which makes for a brilliant present for those who want to see the photo on something other than a PC/tablet/mobile and actually display them, like we used to.
