Digital Photo Frame Texet TF-127

Over the last couple of years, digital frames tightly managed to gain a foothold in the windows of shops that sell equipment and gifts "for all occasions." As befits any usual, not all is astonishing single fact of his own existence, subject, scope shared by niches, styles and classes. There is a stylish frame, there are functional and have the original. Plenty of all sorts. The only not so filled the niche is a niche cost photo frames. They are in the market there, but not much. On the model of this particular segment we talk about today. On the agenda - Texet TF-127.

The main element, through which you can reduce the cost of frames - this display. It is well acted by the manufacturer. Diagonal screen size is 7 inches against the usual 8. Reducing the size of the display quite naturally led to a decrease in the overall size of the device. Compared with other models of the manufacturer frame looks a lot more compact.

Design, appearance

Housing frame is made of black glossy plastic. Standard solution, the problem of fingerprints is also not new. A remote control justifies the use of the material grade. Display and all the side panels framed by a narrow silver stripe. Looks simple, neutral, and uniquely enjoyable. Belonging to a segment of low-end models are not visually apparent. Push-button device control block is located on the right sidebar. The keys are rounded and protruding. Each press of fixed tangible click. The keys have the signature on the back panel. However, the most likely to use them is not necessary. Management is much easier to implement with the remote that came with.

At the rear of the unit is power button, power supply and communication interfaces. Built-in memory scope can be expanded by connecting a memory card, PC synchronization is carried out through the miniUSB-socket. Nearby headphone jack 3,5 mm.

In the center of the rear panel is a connector for attaching the base. Black plastic "foot" captures the frame both horizontally and vertically.

Display menu

Despite the reduction in screen size (7 inches), the image quality was not affected. This is not surprising, 800 pixels wide in comparison with the older models is not reduced. Reduced vertical resolution from 600 to 480 pixels. Image sharp and bright. The display format by default - 16:9. After setting can be switched to 4:3. Picture perfectly detailed, the image is viewed correctly with any measure of approximation. The maximum multiplicity of the zoom - 16X. No color distortions, the shades are authentic. When processing images with abundant bright hues, the frame is prone to a slight peresvechivaniyu some areas.

We have already mentioned that the control system is implemented in two ways - by using controls on the rear panel or via remote control. Opportunities in both cases are identical, but a remote control is uniquely more convenient.

The menu is simple and logical. All possible limits brought to the surface. First level menu offers a choice of source (internal memory or memory card), access to settings and calendar. After selecting a media-frame displays four folders: "video", "music", "photo" and "files". Last folder combines all of these file types.

Settings for all types of files alone. They can be found in the corresponding menu item or call using the remote control from any mode of operation of the frame. Mainly relate to setting mode the photo gallery.

Through the menu, you can adjust the speed of playback images. Minimum - 3 seconds, maximum - 1 hour. The upper range seems to be very useful, since frequent changes in personnel can be annoying. The menu also set the effect of the frame. It's all typically added simulation 3D-cube. Next - screen size, brightness, contrast and hue. For music and video player in the menu there is only setting the playback and volume controls on the remote.

The implementation of audio and video player impossibly laconic. Left - the list of files, right - preview the video or line of audio files. Boast of the quality of the sound frame can not. However, the review photo frames to pick on this is hardly worth it. For more comfortable video viewing to the frame, you can connect your headphones. With regard to video format frame was picky. Reproduced Format MJPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD.

Memory

Unlike previous models, TF-127 boasts a gigabyte of internal memory can not. Amount of device memory - 256 MB.Taking into account the paltry price of flash memory, the conclusion that the decrease in the volume - no more than a tribute positioning.

The device supports a memory card formats, SD / MMC / MS / XD. Connectors for CF and USB-host, this time missing.

Conclusions

Texet TF-127 - frame with a standard set of features, good design and construction of a logical menu. Low cost (a little less than three thousand) makes the device a good option for New Year's gift, or other "not personal" holidays.
