I like digital picture frames, but how do you hide the unsightly power cord? Traditional picture frames don't need to be plugged in and aren't limited by the length of the cord. I think that digital frames are good for tabletops, but not for hanging on the wall.

To be honest, I don't think so. BUT, having said that, my husband and I have tried to buy them on numerous occasions for family members and they've been sold out all over the city.  

I like the idea of digital picture frames, but until they make them look exactly like traditional frames, I think I'll stick to the real thing. That said, I can't wait for a future with touch screen walls so that you can display whatever you like, anywhere you like. I saw a glimpse of that technology at the Interior Design Show this year. Very Judy Jetson.

Call me a traditionalist but I think there's nothing quite like a nicely framed photo hanging on a wall.  I find the slide show feature of digital picture frames to be rather distracting.  It doesn't allow for someone to really look at the photo, to absorb it, and to truly appreciate the moment that was forever captured by the lens.

I don't think that digital picture frames will replace traditional frames, but they certainly have their place. I like having my favourite photos displayed, because I enjoy looking at them. I also like to be able to enjoy a variety of photos on the digital frame - they're not so "special" that I want to look at them all of the time, but I still occasionally enjoy looking at them. It's more like a digital album.

Great question.  I have been trying to understand why I hate digital picture frames so much. Is it because I think we are getting a little too techie in life ?  Maybe (and probably) for me it's because we always see large screen T.V's at funeral parlors  displaying pictures of our departed loved ones life!

Digital frames are great but they are not a replacement for printed photos.  If anything goes awry with the technology of digital frames, there's the potential to lose favourite images and memories. Get a digital frame but make sure that you have hard copies of those photos you cherish.

Not in my household in my lifetime. I really don't care for the TV like images.

Framed pictures can be aranged in a artful way to decorate ones walls, they can also be changed as time goes by.

I like the look and feel of a traditional picture in a traditional frame. Save electricity and reduce your carbon footprint.

We have more technology sitting in landfills than we know what to do with.  These pictures frames don't last, need updating and use energy for what?  Once the novelty wears off who looks at it?
