Lucidframe Acrylic Digital Photo Frame | Portable IPS Display With A Built In Battery Power

Most digital photo frames look like a tablet somebody forgot to put away. The Marlow Vane Lucidframe goes the other way, setting an IPS display into a clear acrylic body so the screen appears to float rather than sit inside a plastic bezel. Off, it reads as an acrylic object on the shelf. On, it looks far closer to a print than a device.

The built in battery is what makes it usable. There is no cable running down the wall from a shelf and no need to place the frame near a socket, so it can go on a mantelpiece, a bedside table, a desk or a bookcase and be moved without unplugging anything. The IPS panel holds its colour and contrast when you look at it from an angle, which is how a photo frame is actually viewed.

Buy it now if the photos you like are all still on your phone. Charge it, load your pictures, and put it where you walk past it every day rather than where the socket happens to be. Keep the frame dry, wipe the acrylic with a soft dry cloth, and avoid abrasive cleaners, which scratch acrylic far more easily than glass.
