Attractive Showcase
 
Transcend's PF730B has a pin-sharp, 800x600 7-inch display
 
Hitesh Raj Bhagat
10/6/2009

Transcend's PF730B is an attractive photo frame with 2GB memory built in. Finished in black and white glossy plastic, the 7-inch LCD can be used to display JPEG photos in different modes (slideshow, thumbnail). The stand is just a small metal rod. With the same stand, the frame can be oriented in portrait or landscape mode. A nice touch is the built in accelerometer that adjusts the image accordingly. It has a tiny built in speaker to playback audio files, AVI movies or have music during a slideshow.

The highlight of this device is the high resolution screen. Photos really come alive on the screen because it is so pin-sharp. It works best if you resize all the photos to 800 x 600 pixels; not only will you be able to store more photos in the available memory, but you also don't have to worry about black bars and aspect ratio mismatch.

I liked the fact that there is no visible infrared sensor on the front bezel. The remote control itself is labeled well and easy to use. If you're worried about it getting flicked in office, there's also a Kensington lock slot to help tie it down.

Specs
7-inch 800 x 600 pixel LCD, 4:3 aspect, accelerometer, 2G internal memory, SD, SDHC, MS card slots, USB port, supports JPEG upto 9000 x 6750 pixels, AVI videos, 370g

Verdict  

The glossy black bezel shows up fingerprints, especially after a few people have picked it up to admire the photos. The USB port is placed oddly; dead center at the back of the device, so that an attached USB drive sticks out backwards. This makes it look odd when viewed from the side. Finally, an option to wall mount it would have been neat. Nevertheless, a good buy.
