Digital photo frames. Nice or Naff?

[tiredemma]

you know the ones that show a selection of pics?

Are they the 'new thing'?
or akin to those vile mock waterfall pics with sound effcts that you hang on your wall and tries to convince you that you are at Dunns River Falls- or elsewhere like that?

I have lots of pics of the boys that I would like on show but DP is a bit OCD about 'holes in walls' so could this be my only route to have pics out?

good quality large screen can be quite classy (especially with wood surround and no led's in sight )

7" cheapo from argos- deffo was the pressie to buy mil at christmas, therefore is horribly tacky

I think they're great... but be warned - don't put too many photos on one frame at once - cos otherwise you go into the kitchen to make tea (or wherever it's hanging) and then waste half an hour watching all the pictures scroll round .

(I don't have one, but I do have all my photo collection on my computer screensaver, and have wasted much time just watching the pictures scroll by).

I like them. Have bought them for both sets of parents over the last year, bth of whom like them. My DD has a cheaper one in her bedroom which she adores.
