My dad (who never asks for gifts) has made it known he wants a digital photo frame as a holiday gift this year. I'm doing my own research here, but I'd love recommendations if anyone has them! A couple key requirements: 1. Must be functional without an Internet connection (by which I mean it must display and auto cycle through photos at a minimum; physical buttons or a touch screen would be ideal). 2. High quality screen. Think like 1600x1200 on a 10-12" frame, with good color reproduction. I have a budget of about $300, but I could go a bit higher for the *perfect* frame. Thanks in advance for any guidance or suggestions here! As with anything else, the market is innundated with low quality crap and I'd really like to get him something decent. #photo #photos #recommendations #suggestions #hardware

    @notthatdelta@furry.engineer If you're willing to get your hands 'dirty' you could repurpose a second-hand iPad, maybe with custom firmware? Pop it in a standard photo frame without the glass front and you'd be away.
