perfect Mother's Day gift
Interchangeable
design transforms frames to complement every Mom's style
Worldwide shipments of digital
photo frames are expected to reach 42.3 million units by 2011,
with price as the major purchase influencer
Answering this trend and building on the success of its first
digital photo frame launch in January, ViewSonic Corp. has introduced
10 customizable frames that offer a stylish and affordable gift
for mothers, and others, to display their memories, starting
at $139
The 7-, 8- and 10-inch photo frames feature stylish, interchangeable
bezels - including wood, black and silver, or black and white
- allowing consumers to customize the frame to their home décor
as quickly as they refresh their digital content
This flexibility, combined with top-of-the-line display technology,
gives people a stylish and versatile way to showcase their snapshots
"The digital age has become ubiquitous, but people still
want a way to display their content in the 'old fashioned' way"
said Steve Woo, vice president and general manager of VTV Consumer
Electronics Products Division, ViewSonic Americas
"ViewSonic brings its award winning heritage in high-quality
display technology to this category, making these frames an obvious,
affordable choice for gift giving this spring"
All of the frames are a snap to set up with this standard, easy
to use, menu system
Additionally they come standard with 256MB of internal memory,
which enables the rotation of nearly 4,000 photos and ensures
users do not have to leave any of their favorite photos in hiding
Photos can be uploaded to the frames through a USB cable, directly
from a thumb drive or with the camera's memory card
The 7-, 8- and 10-inch models come equipped with a built-in battery
that provides freedom to display digital photos anywhere in the
home or office without wire clutter
ViewSonic's first 10-inch wide screen digital photo frame, the
DPX1002, supports a variety of formats - JPEG and BMP for photos;
Motion JPEG, MPEG1 and MPEG4 for video; and MP3 for music - to
create a platform ideal to display all types of memories
The DPX1002 boasts an industry-leading 1024x600 resolution, 400
cd/m² adjustable brightness and 400:1 contrast ratio (typ)
to provide the highest image quality
The DPX1002 brings the added functionality of a calendar, alarm
clock, multi-language option and remote control - perfect for
a bedside table
The 4:3 traditional 8-inch DPX802WD, DPX802WD-BW and DPX802BSL-BW
showcase brilliant photos with a high 800X600 resolution, 250
brightness and 500:1 contrast ratio (typ)
Slideshows are easily created and personalized with a built-in
speaker to play MP3 audio files, an easy-to-use on-screen menu
and numerous photo transition options
The widescreen 7-inch DPX702BSL-BW, DPX702WD-BW and DPX702WD
bring photos to life with an 800x480 resolution, 220 cd/m²
adjustable brightness and a 400:1 contrast ratio (typ)
The digital photo frames can display JPEG or BMP files and offer
multiple slideshow options including speed, effect, language
and rotation adjustments, allowing users to not only customize
the look of the frame, but also their slideshow
For those consumers
who would like a more traditional digital photo frame, ViewSonic
is also launching the 7-inch widescreen DPX704WH, 8-inch
4:3 DPX804WH and 10-inch widescreen DPX1004WH
The three photo frames include a sleek white finish, 128MB of
internal memory and compatibility with multiple video, audio
and photo formats
For additional functionality, the photo frames also include an
alarm, clock and calendar features
The frames are currently available with estimated street prices
of $139 for the 7-inch, $149 for the 8-inch and 10-inch models
starting at $179
All are backed by a one-year limited warranty and will be sold
through authorized ViewSonic resellers, distributors, retailers
