1. Problem: Photos appear pixilated on a digital frame.

The digital frames we looked at—even those that claim to be “high-definition”—aren’t as crisp as the screens found on the latest smartphones and tablets. But one model did stand out: the 8-inch Nixplay Edge . Its backlit screen has a resolution of 160 pixels per inch (almost as good as a first-generation iPad Mini) and renders images that appear sharp, bright and vibrant from all angles.

That said, even an entry-level frame can produce a good image these days. The screen on the 8-inch Micca M808Z, which has a resolution of 125 pixels per inch, isn’t nearly as good as the Nixplay Edge’s when viewed from up close but is fine from a few feet away. Cranking its brightness setting up helps considerably, too. Just note that it’s best viewed from straight on, making it ideal for a desk, where you’ll primarily be viewing it from a set position, as opposed to, say, a bookshelf that you walk by.

2. Problem: Loading photos is a pain.

In terms of convenience, a cloud-connected, Wi-Fi-enabled digital frame is the way to go. Instead of having to futz with SD cards or USB thumb drives, you can send photos to the frame wirelessly from your computer or smartphone. Again, the Nixplay Edge is tough to beat. It allows you to upload photos by sending them to a special email address associated with your frame, and you can change the photo sequence and adjust the frame’s settings through Nixplay’s website. This makes it easy for other family members to add photos—and to remotely manage a frame that you’ve given to a parent or other family member. Nixplay’s cloud service is free for up to 10 gigabytes of storage (much more than you’re likely to need).

3. Problem: Photos sometimes appear oddly cropped.

When your pics aren’t the same proportion as your digital frame’s screen, strange things can happen. Photos can get lopped off at the sides, or black bars can appear around your pics. But you can eliminate this problem entirely by getting a frame with an aspect ratio of 4:3—which matches the default proportions of images shot by smartphones and consumer-oriented digital cameras. Most 8-inch digital frames have this aspect ratio. Avoid widescreen frames; you’ll probably have to recrop your photos to fit.

It’s easy to fix any photos in your collection that aren’t in a 4:3 aspect ratio, like a square pic you downloaded from Instagram. Use your smartphone’s default photo editing app to crop the image to a 4:3 aspect ratio, or if you’re on a computer, upload the image to Croppola.com, a simple-to-use web-based editor.

4. Problem: Creating an elegant slideshow is a chore.

When setting up a digital frame, don’t waste time debating which flashy transition effects to use. Instead go with a simple fade and set a long duration—30 minutes instead of the 3 seconds you might use for your laptop slideshows. This frees you from having to obsess over the order of your photos, since flow doesn’t matter.

5. Problem: Digital frames look pretty cheesy.

Even the most minimal digital frames have a gadgety look that can feel out of place on a living room mantle. But with the slimmer, lighter models that are available now, this problem is easily remedied: Disguise your digital frame inside a traditional one.

This can simultaneously instill your photos with more warmth and tone down the high-tech vibe of your digital frame
