Digital picture frames can be used quite effectively in doctor’s offices, as an informational aide, but also to help business. Here are four ways to do that:
Medicine is a rapidly growing and evolving field, and as such there are always new things being discovered to help us live healthier lives. Why not have brief info-nuggets on the latest of these treatments and techniques right in the waiting room? A digital picture frame can be just the solution for doing this. You can easily create a slide with the information you want on it, then upload it to the digital frame. This way, while patients are waiting they can get up to date on some of the latest health topics that are relevant to them.
Some health advice is universal: drink 8 cups of water a day, make sure you’re staying active by taking walks, eat a healthy diet, etc. A doctor’s office is the perfect place to dispense this basic, universally relevant information. People waiting in a doctor’s office waiting room would read this information as it was flashed across a digital picture frame.
In any office that has more than one doctor, there are often days when particular doctors routinely work, and day that they normally get off. In your slideshow that you create for the digital picture frame, why not put a slide in there showing the days that each doctor is available? Patients will appreciate this because they can see at a glance which days are possible with their own schedules.
Every general practice doctor’s office will have patients who are young mothers, and most are as proud as can be of their newborns. Why not allow your patients to submit their favorite pictures of their little ones, and intersperse some of those pictures into the slideshow? This would help build a sense of community, and mothers and relatives would be tickled pink to see their son or daughter on the digital frame when they walk in for their regular checkup.

A digital picture frame is the perfect way to remind a student heading back to school of their friends and family back home. A great way to surprise your special person would be to purchase a digital frame, take some time to load it up with great memorable photos, then send it to them. It is always the first few weeks that are the loneliest; why not send a unique gift to cheer them up?
Back to school doesn’t need to be boring. In fact, one way to spice things up with a digital frame is to get a wireless model; one that allows you to share photos over the internet. The PixStar 8″ FotoConnect (click the link to watch our video review) in particular allows you to setup an email address unique to each frame. Then, in a matter of seconds, you can email a picture with a caption to a specific frame, from anywhere in the world.
Say your special student sets up the digital frame in their dorm room. Sharing photos by email, Facebook or FrameChannel has never been easier, and it offers a great way to stay in touch, not to mention conversation topics when you actually connect on the phone!
Certain frames will even play short videos, so you could send a video message to your child directly through the digital frame!
Back to school is a unique time of year – if you’re looking for a gift to give, why not consider a digital picture frame this school year? Your student will love it for sure.
I recently had the chance to review a Pix-Star 8″ FotoConnect Digital Photo Frame with Wifi (PXT8W002).
I have to say it is the most web-friendly digital frame I’ve ever come across, and I’m excited to continue experimenting with it, discovering new features. For now however, here’s my initial review.
You can read customer reviews of the Pix-Star FotoConnect here.
Father’s Day is fast approaching and if you haven’t picked something for you Pop yet, you might want to consider a digital picture frame!
With a digital frame, your father could display photos of family, vacations, his favorite hobby, sports scores, or you! All dads are wired a little differently, but a wireless digital frame always goes over well. Wireless frames offer integration with RSS feeds, allowing constantly updated sports feeds to be displayed.
Alternatively, you could setup the frame to display pictures of classic cars, take from a Flickr account.
If your dad is really into stocks; you could even setup his frame with pictures and the occasional stock feed as well! You don’t want to mix business and pleasure too much though, so you might want to keep that feature on the down low.
No matter how he ultimately ends up using it, chances are good that your father would appreciate a digital picture frame this Father’s Day. Why not check out our great selection? If you order soon, you can still have it in time.

Digital picture frames are measured diagonally, same with televisions and computer monitors. So to illustrate my point, take a square piece of paper. Now if you had one that is twice as long, diagonally, how much surface area are you gaining? Well if it is a square, then you’ve actually quadrupled your surface area, not doubled it. The same principle holds true for digital picture frames. The bigger you go, you get more and more screen area. A 15″ screen is actually much more than double the size of a 7.5″ screen.
Most people get a digital picture frame because they want it to be seen. Therefore, why get a small one? Large digital frames can more easily be seen from across a room, and they catch way more attention than small frames! If the whole point is displaying digital pictures for all to see, then bigger is definitely better.
Large digital frames are more easily seen by people with poor eyesight. As people get older, their eyesight naturally tends to get weaker. Digital frames are a terrific gift for grandparents, because they can always get updated pictures of their grandchildren; however if you’re getting a digital frame for a grandparent, don’t make the mistake of getting a small one. Get a large digital frame and ensure that they’ll be able to see it with ease – don’t get one that they have to stand directly in front of and squint to see each photo!
Grandparents love receiving gifts from their grandchildren, or on behalf of their grandchildren. But even more than the gift itself, most grandparents will tell you that they love their grandchildren, and seeing pictures of them (when they can’t actually be with them!).
So put that fact together with a digital picture frame, and you’ve got a perfect gift that you can uniquely personalize to your own grandparents.
The best way to personalize a digital picture frame is to take a few minutes prior to gifting it, and load it up with pictures that the grandparent will be sure to love and cherish. If you’re the middle generation in this scenario, then load it up with family pictures, even video clips of your children playing and doing cute things. Trust me, the older generation will love it!
It probably goes without saying that most grandparents’ eyesight was better in the past than it is now. For this reason, if you’re purchasing a digital photo frame to give away to an elderly couple, do them a favor and get a large one. You don’t want them to have to stand directly in front of it, and squint just to see the photos. Get one that is large enough that they can view it comfortably from anywhere in the room. As a rough guide, I’d probably say go with at least a 15″ frame, perhaps even 17″.
If the person you’re planning on giving the digital picture frame to isn’t all that technologically savvy, don’t worry about it! If you get them a wireless digital picture frame, you can do all the technical work for them (and it’s not hard!). All you need is a wireless network and a wireless digital frame and you can hook it up to the internet. With a Flickr account you can then update the pictures they see on their digital frame right from your own computer at home! This scenario takes all of the techno-hassle out of the equation, so all they need to do is put the digital frame on a shelf and keep it plugged in.
If you’re looking for a very personalized gift for the special grandparents in your life, consider giving them a digital picture frame this year. With the ability to update it continually, it is the gift that will never grow old!
