With the price of flat-panels falling you can see their uses have become more widespread. One of the most ingenious ideas was the digital photo frame. This frame from Gigantor stands out from the rest due to the massive size of the screen. At 15” wide, it’s as big as the first flat-panel LCD monitor that I owned, and has a respectable resolution of 1024 x 768. It also has a set of in-built speakers, support for 8 different media types including USB thumbdrives, and MPEG Video & MP3 playback.
You can pick this up for $199.99 from ThinkGeek.
