Westinghouse DPF-1411 Digital Picture Frame

Date Published: 10/24/07

If price is no object, you won't find many digital picture frame options better than Westinghouse's DPF-1411. This model's 14-1/10-inch display is one of the largest available, and the DPF-1411 offers sharp images and some handy playback features. Unfortunately, the $400 suggested price will likely discourage most shoppers.

The DPF-1411's contrast ratio and resolution are very high, giving its images sharpness and depth. The screen's brightness could be a little better, but the DPF-1411's overall image quality is very good.

The DPF-1411 can accept nine different memory card formats, and you can also load photos through a USB Flash drive. Add in the 128MB of internal memory, and the DPF-1411 is extremely versatile.

You'll find several interesting playback options with this frame, including one that allows you to display up to four images at the same time. The DPF-1411 also includes a zoom function.

Other than the sky-high price, the DPF-1411's only drawbacks are its lack of battery power and a remote control. The unit doesn't have speakers either, so you can't play audio files. Fortunately, the size and image quality generally overshadow these shortcomings.

The DPF-1411's extremely large screen and sharp output are very appealing, especially if you plan on viewing the screen from across a room. However, the final word on the DPF-1411 is its high price, which is more than some notebook computers. If you can find the Westinghouse DPF-1411 digital picture frame for less than $300, it's a terrific option.


Pros: Extremely large screen, very good image quality, versatile input options, 128MB internal memory, good playback options
Cons: High price, no battery option or remote control, warranty could be longer

Warranty
6 months, limited
