THE DIGITAL FRAME DECISION

COMPARING 5 FAVORITE PHOTO DISPLAYS

- BY OLENA KAGUI

I take hundreds of photos weekly (if not daily), and outside of posting them on social media and sending the occasional snap to a loved one, I know I am wasting a treasure trove of memories. Digital photo frames have been around since the '90s but have come a long way since then. Thanks to higher resolution and antiglare technology, today's options can easily pass as real prints. The following selection varies in price, size, and function. I can't wait to introduce you to my favorites

Aura Walden 15" HD Frame ($299)

Aura's 15" Walden frame is the biggest in this list and is one of the best. The only catch is the cost, but it is worth every penny. Out of the many frames I've tested, Aura stands out, making your photos look like professionally framed pieces of art.

The Walden frame has a paper-like anti-glare matte display for easy viewing in any lighting. The frame comes with a sturdy stand and hanging hardware so you can place it wherever you want. As someone with lots of rowdy pets, I prefer to hang mine on the wall to keep it safe. If a 15" frame is too big, Aura also sells 12" and 10" options.

The free Aura Frames makes uploading photos super simple, though you will have to create an account. I was even able to add my husband as an admin so he could partake in the fun. Unlike other frames I've tried, Aura has Bluetooth, allowing me to AirDrop photos and videos directly to the frame. You can shuffle or show your photos chronologically, with your content changing as often as every 15 seconds or as slow as 24 hours, letting you set up one photo per day or upload your entire library for a fast-paced slideshow.
