The Sony DPF-X1000 digital photo frame lies ahead in the range of Sony's digital photo frame, sports a 10-inch "super clear LCD" and something the company calls "TruBlack" technology to give , the company promises, an impressive picture with minimal reflection. Digital photo frames can generally be divided out into two categories; basic but reasonable and high-end with appealing features. The Sony DPF-V1000 takes the digital picture frame one step further, showing pictures not only on its 10.2” screen but on your HDTV through a HDMI port. Sony also keeps you sheltered if you like to have a picture frame showing off a gallery of pictures all through the week, but also if you want to show off slideshows during parties on the big screen.
Estimating other digital picture frames on the market, Sony really placed the design of the DPF-V1000. The front is flat with a lexan cover over the LCD panel. This protects the LCD and makes it easy to clean fingerprints off the front if required. Viewing from the back, the side panels slope to the front edge of the display, to keep the profile looking thin. Sony gives you with two covers that close off each side, further cleaning up the design. One of the nicer elements to finish off the looks is a single chrome rod sticking out the back of the frame that acts as the stand in both its horizontal and vertical positions.
The frame itself is dark, gunmetal silver, which is elegant, reflective, lustrous and top class. It doesn't look cheap in any way. That frame is in turn framed in a thin pure silver beading. The whole frame is around 14-inches in size, so not small, but still picture frame size. The build quality is outstanding with a uneven front cover over the LCD, solid metal stand, and covers to close off any unused ports..
The 10.2” LCD looks very pleasant when displaying pictures. Excellent color saturation and deep black levels really help make images pop. The glossy surface seems to improve the color and contrast of the images but increases the amount of glare and reflection off the screen.
The backlit white LED logo is really an eye catcher on the front of the frame. To display your images on the big screen Sony includes an HDMI port to connect the frame up to an HDTV. Image quality is remarkable on 1080P display and the scaling of the menus also looks good. Also to most of the people’s surprise is that it plays music with the slide shows. The slideshow menu is rather basic and the “BGM” setting is actually the background music. You can anytime turn off the music withj the settings available.
With 1 GB of internal memory to store as much images as you want, this Sony picture frame can handle as much input sources as one can imagine pulling images from. It comes along with a card reader which can handle almost every format, including Compact Flash, Memory Stick, SDHC, and xD memory. If you prefer loading pictures from your computer onto a USB flash drive, Sony offers USB port that will be read just like the memory card readers.
The screen remains remarkable, in spite of daylight and also in dark nights. Its claim to be minimal reflective is a sure shot. Pictures are well reproduced and a number of features within the settings only help to improve the visual occurrence further.
The structure, based for menu display is spontaneous and nice. When trying to load a image, the menu tab opens up on the top of the page, in a translucent way. This would surely differentiate with other players which makes the background so loud while editing an image. Menu system is divided in two areas, one used to edit pictures or frame settings, and the other used to select the current viewing mode. Apart from the chaos in playing background music, every else option is very much sorted.
If you want to buy a digital photo frame that shoots fashion, features with durability, then there isn't much to think about with the Sony DPF-X1000. It's stylish, the image quality is spectacular and there are some really modern features to make it a best buy. But with attaching Wi-Fi in there too wcould have made streaming images more easier, like as from Flickr rather than the PC, but that isn't something that should avoid you from grabbing one for yourselves.
Cons: Stand is not adjustable, No Wi-Fi, Does not support music, video files, Price
