The DPF-V900 is the most stylish frame here.

The menu system is excellent, with hotkeys on the rear of the frame corresponding to onscreen prompts. Slideshow intervals can be set from three seconds up to 24 hours. You can even turn off the illuminated Sony logo.

It can be used in landscape or portrait mode, with images rotated automatically. The glass front panel doesn't cause unwanted reflections. Images look softer and more natural than on most frames, with no distinguishable pixels. Colours are bright but realistic, with great skin tones. There is accurate contrast, and the overall effect is among the best here.

There's 512MB of built-in memory, so you can store lots of images without using a memory card. It supports a wide range of file formats. An HDMI output lets you connect the frame to an HD TV at 1080i if you want a bigger display.

This is a brilliantly designed photo frame and well worth the money. It's a Best Buy.
