Pexar by Lexar WiFi Digital Picture Frame 11″ | Yahoo Tech Best Tested Frame 2025 | 2K Resolution Ultimate Clarity, Anti-Glare Touch Stunning Screen for Gifting, Share Photos/Videos via APP, Sand

This is what a high quality digital photo frame should be. It has a simple design, great matte display, high resolution and great color accuracy and viewing angles. I have tested the frame with some of my B&W photos, and they have a nice neutral color... not overly blue. I may still add some warmth to my B&W photos, but again that is a personal preference. Set up was simple without using wifi and I was able to easily add photos from a usb drive. I did connect to wifi to check the firmware, and an update was available and easily installed without any issues. The touch screen is very responsive, and the ability to remember each photos settings is a nice addition. The ability to set a schedule to turn off the display was easy to configure. The brightness out of the box was very high for my tastes, but was easily turned down to a much more appropriate level. I would have preferred a 4x3 ratio display over the frames 5x3 due to the cropping that needs to happen on most of my photos, but it is slightly better than the overly narrow 16x9 ratio of many other frames. I was actually going to pick up the larger 15.6 inch display, but that is 16x9 and lower resolution than this 11" model. I would love to see a larger, higher-res version of this frame in a 4x3 aspect ratio.

First of all, this is not a paid review unlike many of them on here for some reason. However, this thing is incredible. Good value compared to everything else. The Frameo app isn't bad, if you subscribe it makes it easier to share large quantities of photos at a time. Without a subscription, you can still share all the photos you want to the device until it runs out of storage (internal storage is 32gb), however, you're limited to 10 photos at a time to upload which is a pain. I recommend just using external storage for all your own photos, and use the internal storage to share a Frameo code to friends and family so they can add their own photos whenever. You can export photos to external storage through the device, as well as backup everything which is nice. Wifi connectivity works fine, 2.4ghz only. Make sure if you're using an SD card or flash drive (highly recommend), that you format it to FAT32, otherwise it won't recognize the device to play photos/videos. It will recognize all the way up to 1 TB on the external storage if you format it to FAT32. The screen on it is very bright, all the way up to 400nits and the resolution of it at 11 inches makes for a very high density PPI, making the photos super clear. Very happy with it. Touch screen is responsive and works fine for a digital frame. Glad I went with it over the Aura Carver or Nixplay, and is a better value even which is crazy! Update 1/18/25: For videos, this will playback videos of all length from external or on internal storage, however, the video must be a maximum of 1920x1080 resolution. If you have videos above this resolution make sure to bring them down to 1080p using a program such as Handbrake on the computer. Hope this helps!

I use this photo frame in my booth when I'm working at art shows, and I love that it has internal storage and allows me to load pics onto external storage so I can use it to display pictures even when I don't have wifi. It needs to be plugged into a power source though, so I keep a small portable power bank with me that is sufficient for the day. Picture is clear and without glare and the system is easy to use!

It's easy to set up and use, though they will continually ask you to sign up for their subscription service. The only benefit I can see to that subscription service is being able to upload more than 10 photos at a time. The app works okay with the "Send To" functionality. Picture quality is quite good and it notifies you of new pictures with a tone and an on-screen prompt.

THIS is the answer to "What am I going to do with all those photos and movies?" "Is my photo collection just a hoarding vanity project never to be seen?" THIS IS YOUR SOLUTION! PROs: Top quality 1080p (really "2K" or 1200p vertical pixel density - which is even better! IPS type display panel) TOUCHscreen (you can finger swipe back and forth at any time). Good color depth, color and grayscale fidelity Good viewing angles, anti-glare coating. Plays back still photos and/or MPEG (.MP4) movies (with audio on or muted if you want). No hiccups or flakiness. Shuffle or timeline play. Shows tile title date - IF you want it. Shows current time of day in upper right corner (12 or 24 hr) IF you want it. Shows current temperature and sunny/cloudy/rain symbols - IF you want that. You don't have to buy the upgraded Frameo app if you don't want to. It works just fine (and I'm pretty happy) with the standard app. It's not too big and not too small. Two or three people could stand next to each other and enjoy the picture from a few feet away, yet the frame doesn't "take over". You can find a spot for it. The frame "matte" built into the black frame outline does a decent job of mimicking a real photo frame matte. You can use BOTH the internal storage and any docked external storage (USB or SD card) at the same time. Picture quality is GREAT out of the box. No need to fuss but you can control cropping and brightness if you want to. CONS: Must be powered by AC wall adapter. The darn thing works so well, I want to use it like a tablet, makes me wish it had an internal battery that would function for an hour or two when frame unplugged. Oh well, it's still a heck of a unit. I loaded my files with a tiny Samsung USB drive. You have to use either FAT32 or XFAT file system (NTFS file system pen drives will not be recognized). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOTTOM LINE: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We are very pleased. UPDATE 10/05/2024 IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING YOUR MOVIES TRANSFERRED and "RECOGNIZED" by the PEXAR. Technical tip to owners of Sony and Panasonic digital cameras as far as movies are concerned, something that might help your movie files get "recognized" by this Pexar device: If you have any 1080p (i.e. High Definition pixel density) MOVIE files created by your camera that have an .MTS file format (file extension), YOU'LL WANT TO RENAME THAT FILE EXTENSION TO BE: .MP4 (stands for Motion Picture Expert Group 4) file extension. You'll want to do this before transfering the files if you are using external storage (like USB-pen flash drive, SD ("Secure Digtal") card, etc. Once you do what is mentioned above, the PEXAR can then recognize these renamed movie files and play them just fine For the geeks or curious, MTS (aka MPEG Transport Stream) is a container wrapper of sorts for an MP4 file. Internet search will tell you how / why these variances of video formats came about. It doesn't matter, once you rename the file extension to .MP4, the movie will play just fine in the PEXAR frame. You want to "swim with the biggest school of fish" in the technical world of video (if you want the least hassle) and the .MP4 format is exactly that in the world of High Definition (HD) video. P.P.S. I also owned some ANCIENT home movies from a 12 year old Fuji digital camera taken in .AVI format (Audio Video Interleave). I had to do a file conversion of them to .MP4 format so the PEXAR could successfully play them. . I used a simple movie editing software (Windows Movie Maker - no longer made, but there are other conversion software utilities running around that can do the job). Once I did that, the movies shot in this old format play just fine in the Pexar frame. ABOUT VIDEO LENGTH: Some users have stated a 15 second video length limit. That has not been my personal experience. I successfully have this frame playing videos of 2 minutes long of my kitty cat wallering in the driveway. This is 24 fps (frames per second) .MP4 files. HOWEVER, you ** will ** get a warning that importing that large video will eat into your 32GB of internal memory. Such is life. NOTE: I am ** not ** relying on the paid subscription Frameo app. I just use a USB pen drive. Even with importing probably quantity: 6 X 2 or 3 minute length HD .MP4 videos, I still have somewhere around 8 or 10 GB of internal memory left at this point. P.P.S. WHAT FOLLOWS IS BORING, IT MAY HELP A FEW OF YOU WHO ARE NEW: Those of you with mega fancy cameras (full frame or APS-C Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc cams) that produce 20MB+ files: There is no need to fill up the internal memory in this frame with 20MB per photo file sizes, that is overkill and ridiculous. (My opinion). JPEG (or .JPG) is what you want as a file format type/medium for still photos with this frame. An 850KB to 1MB per picture JPEG file at 200 Pixels per inch ("pixel density") will do fine for 1080p viewing resolution and, if you want it a bit nicer (i.e. 1200dpi vertical , roughly "2K" viewing resolution) then bump up your saved file size to say 1.2MB per photo size. There are a lot of photo editing programs out there that will do "interpolation" to reduce / downsize your monster sized pure-overkill source file size to work with this 11" frame size display. (i.e. Photo software that will keep aspect ratio/proportion while reducing pixel density). You will gain some file "compression" when you downsize the file. So what? Few people can tell a difference on a frame of this size. Your goal should be to get things done while delivering a decent quality experience...right? You could, in a pinch, use one of those screen snipping software tools that comes native with your operating system and just select, snip, and capture a full screen display of the original photo/file AND THEN save that screen capture output (which will likely be 72 dots per inch (dpi) from the "clipboard" into a paint program as a JPEG. Very crude but it would get you by till you purchase a true photo editing program. Most beginners will be fine (or probably better served maybe) by a "lite" version photo editor. Again it's just my opinion. YMMV.

Really great frame. It's Matt so it looks like real photos and the viewing angles are great! I transferred thousands of photos via usb and I can send ten photos at a time with the app, otherwise you have to pay ! I think that's fair. It's like a an iPad that's specialized in photo displaying

The best by far! Glare free, easy to use, great results. Clear images, touch screen means less fussing. Please note: buy the memory stick suggested as it fits properly into frame at rear. This company thinks of literally everything. Eco packaging, to multi plugs for power!

I love this frame and how easy it is to upload pictures to it. The clarity/definition look very photo like.

Works great looks amazing my wife loves it as a gift best idea I’ve had yet Just wish it was cordless to display on coffee table or somewhere without it having to be connected but other than that it’s great ! Best digital frame on the market

Excellent. My family love it. It enhance the Beaty of the photos. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a great digital photo frame that much the quality and price.
