The Kodak OLED Digital Photo Frame
While it’s certainly thin enough that you might consider slicing bread with it, there are probably better uses for Kodak’s brand new digital photo frame featuring the innovative Kodak OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology.
If you’re wondering what Kodak OLED technology does it can be summed up in 3 words: thin, saturation and colour. The new technology allows greater colour depth, and saturation from any angle compared to pre-existing LCD technologies. To top things off the Kodak OLED technology is remarkably thin, so thin in fact that it isn’t much thicker than a coin. Will the day come when digital photo frames are the depth of actual photos? Who knows, but it’s certainly a question worth asking after seeing a Kodak OLED digital photo frame.
Enough about the Kodak OLED, let’s get right into the specs. The 7.6” diagonal screen packs in a whopping 384,000 pixels in a 800 x 480 array. Pair that with the enhanced colour depth and saturation of the Kodak OLED display and the result is extremely realistic pictures. Like many newer digital photo frames the new Kodak OLED can even play video, but with only 7.6” of screen space it may not be something you want to watch a football match on.
Simply having unparalleled picture quality even at extreme viewing angles is certainly noteworthy, but the list of innovations doesn’t stop there. Kodak has stuffed a whopping 2GB of storage into this petite marvel as well as Wi-Fi capability to augment the normal array of supported memory stick standards. The Wi-Fi comes in very handy for users with a PC as you can not only upload media to your Kodak OLED, but you can use the Kodak EASYSHARE Digital Display Software suite to edit and organise your pictures. It’s a great way to make sure guests don’t torque their neck while trying to view photos you shot in landscape.
Rounding out the package is a fairly par for the course set of functions to include the ubiquitous slide show and music playing functionality. Considering the innovative Kodak OLED display, breathtaking photo crispness, the outrageously thin exterior, massive storage, video playback capability, and the nifty Wi-Fi connectivity, the typical slide show seems like something of an anachronism, but considering that the point of having a digital photo frame is showing off photos you just can’t complain about it as it certainly does its job.
Remember, if the Kodak OLED digital photo frame’s remarkable image quality and thin size fail to impress, you can always use it to slice bread. How many other digital photo frames can make that claim?
The Kodak OLED digital photo frame is not cheap at around £600! So if that price doesn’t but you off, you should be able to pick one up from Kodak’s website before Christmas.
