\"digital<\/a><\/p>\n

I often laugh at myself because I view life through my 3″ x 5″ Note 4 phone screen. \u00a0I love capturing moments and I have stockpiled so many of them on my phone and computer, they are bulging at the seams! \u00a0I have documented nearly every awards ceremony, sports match, amusement park adventure, acting performance, you name it, I’ve got a picture for it.<\/p>\n

And while I do post a few of the pictures and share some with friends, a bulk of these pictures remain on my phone or computer, hardly ever viewed again. \u00a0Yes, I keep saying one day I’m going to organize my pictures and make a slide show, but if you think about it, with thousands upon thousands of pictures, this would surely be an overwhelming task, resulting in hundreds of slide shows!<\/p>\n

In theory, a digital picture frame makes sense, it’s a great way to see and enjoy your pictures. \u00a0But digital picture frames of the past have underwhelmed most of us due to the fact they take a bit of time to update the pictures, the frames were rather small, and they were always on, which means constant energy consumption when not being watched.<\/p>\n

I know because my mother-in-law received a digital picture frame as a gift and she never had it on. \u00a0She didn’t want to waste electricity. \u00a0It wasn’t long before the picture frame disappeared from their main living area.<\/p>\n

I’ll be honest, when the idea of reviewing a digital picture frame came up, I was hesitant. \u00a0Would we really use it or would it be a fascination for a week and then die off?<\/p>\n

Here’s what changed my mind about digital picture frames…well at least the 13 inch\u00a0WiFi Cloud frame\u00a0made by nixplay<\/a>*…<\/p>\n

  1. The picture quality on this HD frame is fantastic.<\/li>\n
  2. It has a nice horizontal frame, perfect for landscape pictures.<\/li>\n
  3. Nixplay uses an inherent motion display which gradually moves up vertically displayed pictures so you can see more\u00a0of the picture.<\/li>\n
  4. It utilizes playlists – now this is cool – so you can categorize which playlist of pictures you want to display or all of them at the same time.<\/li>\n
  5. Nixplay utilizes a motion sensor, so the pictures only display when the digital picture frame detects movement – brilliant!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I have to say, the playlist feature I found fascinating. \u00a0Why not have playlists of pictures, we’ve been using music playlists for years! \u00a0And a motion sensor digital picture frame? \u00a0That only makes sense!<\/p>\n

    See how nice the nixplay digital picture frame looks in our family room? \u00a0When I get within 4 feet of the picture frame, it turns on. \u00a0If you prefer, you can have it always on too, it’s a setting you make in your online nixplay account.<\/p>\n

    How the nixplay Digital Picture Frame Works<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The nixplay Edge comes with easy instructions to help you get your frame online. \u00a0You will need to have your WiFi password handy to connect your nixplay digital picture frame to your home network. \u00a0Once your frame is connected, you set up a cloud account on nixplay.com <\/a>to activate your frame and begin adding pictures.<\/p>\n
