Bring digital photos out of hiding and replay your treasured memories with the new Philips Digital Photo Display
Dubai, UAE, 22 April 2007- Philips Consumer Electronics announced today the launch of the latest Digital Photo Display 9". The Digital Photo Display is an innovative and simple-to-use digital photo gallery that combines technology, portability and the ultimate in picture quality to allow you to show off your photos to their very best wherever you are. Storing up to 50 high-display-quality photos, you don't even need to be connected to a PC to access your photos - simply insert your digital camera's memory card and browse your pictures on a full color, high definition LCD screen, or save them on the Digital Photo Display to look at when ever you feel like it.
"Research carried out by Philips has shown that although digital cameras have been widely accepted as the future of quality photography, many people still feel that their photos get stuck in a PC prison, never to see the light of day again," commented Khalid Tuer, General Manager for Philips Consumer Electronics, Middle East &Africa. "It's all very well to record the memories, but if you haven't got anything to show for it, what's the point?" added Mr. Tuer. With the Philips Digital Photo Display, you can share and relive your memories time and time again.
The 9" Philips PhotoFrame -dimensions with stand (W x H x D): 260 x 199 x 108 mm- has top quality design and exquisite materials. It includes a solid metal stand, stylish frame and detailed finishing adding luster to the photos displayed on the screen. The very best high density screen shows off your treasured photos with the same rich, vibrant, real life colors by displaying the same full range of colors found in professionally printed photos.
The PhotoFrame comes with a selection of interchangeable frames that snap onto your PhotoFrame, fits your personal taste and compliments your home or office decor.
Flexible display modes give you the freedom to display your photos one image at one time, in thumbnail mode for quick, easy searches, or to create a slideshow of your most treasured photos with a built-in memory capacity of 110 to 150 photos. The PhotoEffect Wizard is easy-to-use feature for you to rotate, zoom in, crop and even adjust photo color tones to black & white or sepia right in PhotoFrame.
The Memory-Card Manager is a set of two built-in memory card readers and featured software for displaying, editing, storing and organizing your memory card photos directly in one, hassle-free step - all without a PC. It accommodates two memory card slots: One slot accepts Compact Flash I (CF) cards while the second accommodates Memory Stick (MS, MS Duo, MS Pro Duo,MS Pro), secure digital (SD) Card and Multi Media Cards (MMC) and xD card. They all work as extended memory space - just like PhotoFrame's internal memory.
A USB connector is built into the device for easy and quick downloading photos from a PC. The AC or onboard battery power gives the choice of operating the PhotoFrame on standard AC power or cordlessly with the onboard rechargeable battery. A timer turns the PhotoFrame on and off at times you choose. You can select different time slots to fit your personal schedule and to save energy.
Every picture tells a story, and the Philips Digital Photo Display will allow you to tell all your stories to your friends and family. So, whether your best friend just got married or your sister had a baby, don't hide the digital photos away on your PC - enjoy them every day with the new Philips Digital Photo Display.
