Can anyone compare IQ 8" to Linx 8" digital photo frame
Hi, is anyone able to help me compare these two frames?
I have an IQ 9" digital photo frame (from Jessops, but it has a dead pixel so they are allowing me to return it and swap it for the new model, the Linx 8" digital photo frame. I cannot find any reviews for the IQ 8", and very limited number for the Linx, so is anyone able to help me out? The Linx seems to be a widescreen as opposed to the IQ's 4:3 ratio. Is this better for photographs? Also, should the Linx be able to play AVI videos if it says it supports MPEG1/2/4? Any help very much appreciated, Cheers, Toby. |

That meant to read IQ 8" (not 9").

David But it gets that mode by just cutting pixels from the top and bottom. I can do that by cropping. It is NOT a native 16:9 sensor. |

It's the LX2 which has a 16:9 native sensor... http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasoniclx2/ David |

The point is that the vast majority of cameras produce either 3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratio pictures. Installing a 16:9 screen in a digital picture frame seems to indicate that they found the 16:9 screens from a manufacturer of small DVD players and converted them for picture frame use. NO problem with that, but WHY default to 16:9? Beats the crap out of me. |
