The Varnam VM830BT: 8 Inches of Clear, Sharp Pictures

Posted on Aug 14, 2008 by Jane Goodwin at 12:05 am

British manufacturer Varnam has a new 8″ digital photo frame that has several new features that make it stand out among most digital picture frames.

For one, the Varnam frame has an internal battery, which means the frame can be used away from an electrical socket.  It also means that there will be no big black cord hanging from the frame.  WHEN you plug the frame in to charge the battery, you’ll then get two full hours of playback.

For another, the quality of the pictures and videos is absolutely excellent.  There is no “stretch” or “pull” when it comes to the pictures you’ll see on the screen.  The LCD  screen has a  resolutionof 800 X 480, stretched over only eight inches; your images will appear sharp and clear.

One reviewer that I found did not like the six touch-sensitive buttons for navigating the on-screen menus, feeling that even though the buttons worked well and were very responsive, they were ugly.  I personally like the buttons, so that is entirely a matter of opinion.

Not only will the Varnam digital frame display your photographs; it will also let you watch your videos, view text files (not many digital frames do that!) and listen to your music.  There is also an output for a TV, and USB connectors so you can attach the frame to your PC or use a flash drive.  You can also use almost any memory card with this digital frame.  The 128 MB of memory will store approximately a hundred pictures, too.

The Varnam VM830BT digital frame has a touch-sensitive front panel, which provides the user interface for the frame.  You can also program your Varnam digital frame with the wireless remote, also included.
