InTouch IT7150 7-inch

With an 800-by-400 pixel display and Wi-Fi support--including the ability to stream content through FrameChannel, an RSS utility--this frame has enough features to compete within its class. But its internal memory is limited 128MB, much less than a number of other frames we've tested. However, the frame accepts all the usual media cards (SD, CF, Memory Stick, MMC, and xD), so this shouldn't be too much of a bother for most casual users.

Despite its appeal, the matte touchscreen is a dust magnet, and the glossy border is prone fingerprints and smudges. Audio comes from a tubular faux-chrome speaker at the bottom of the frame, but the sound, particularly the bass, from this unit was some of the worst I've heard from a digital frame. The menu screen offers four options that take you to settings and different types of content, including audio and video, as well as news feeds. While slide shows looked sharp in my tests, color was noticeably cooler, and contrast was slightly higher, than in my original photos. Alas, brightness is the only setting that can be changed. I ran into some trouble with nested folders and content from multiple cards: All photos need to come from one source at a time, which is an annoyance.
