Wireless Connectivity, Unique Features and Versatility

These Samsung digital photo frames are wrapped in a glossy black bezel with rounded edges for an elegant look. Designed to blend seamlessly into a variety of environments, the Samsung digital photo frames are able to bring digital images to life. Each model features Samsung’s exclusive Starlight Touch Controls which integrate the On Screen Display (OSD) buttons into the bezel. Starlight Touch features capacitive touch buttons, which disappear from the bezel after 10 seconds of inactivity. These digital photo frames can also be used as a secondary monitor for your laptop or desktop, using Samsung’s exclusive UbiSync technology.

Samsung’s Display Product Manager, Jeff Muto explains, “Samsung has identified a need in the market for quality photo frames that offer improved front of screen performance, quality design and enhanced versatility. Using Samsung’s UbiSync feature is as simple as plugging the photo frame into your USB port. Then you can have a secondary monitor for your media player, tool palettes or whatever your needs may be. With other built-in features like WiFi for easy photo sharing and auto-resize functionality which enhances ease of use, these new digital photo frames push the versatility envelope.”

Along with great design and image quality, the SPF-85V and SPF-105V are Internet Photo Frames, which allow for wireless connectivity via 802.11b/g. These frames are optimized for use with Windows Live Spaces for easy photo sharing.
