The problem with most digital picture frames is that their display is too small or too low-resolution to make the pictures actually look good. Not the KODAK 14.1" Smart Wi-Fi Digital Picture Frame, however. With its big, beautiful display and smart functionality, there's quite a bit you can do to enjoy your full photo library again. Tech expert Dave Taylor checks out the model RWF-141 and finds lots to like. Includes detailed demo.

a digital picture frame with a beautiful
0:02
14.1 inch display let's check it

[Music]
0:11
out Dave Taylor here and I'm checking
0:13
out this this is the kodac 14.1 in smart
0:18
digital picture frame and I really like
0:21
it it's a big beautiful display that's
0:24
highly configurable it's a touchscreen
0:26
giving you the ability to interact with
0:28
the device directly and it's a genuine
0:31
wood frame so it looks very attractive
0:34
let me spin it around so you can see in
0:37
the back and it's a sort of like a
0:41
computer screen with a little stand and
0:43
then on the side here are a bunch of
0:45
input ports one of which is for power it
0:48
does need to be plugged in at all times
0:51
so you could ostensibly put it on your
0:54
wall but you're going to have to figure
0:56
out power when you put it there now 1920
1:00
by 1080 HD touchscreen wide angle view
1:03
it auto rotates if I rotate it 90° 32
1:08
gig of built-in memory and it does
1:10
Wireless sharing I can go from my phone
1:13
I can send a photo to the frame even
1:16
better there's an email address each
1:19
frame gets its own assigned email
1:21
address I'm not going to share mine with
1:23
you but I can then email photos to
1:27
myself now you look at this and you
1:29
might say oh well this is all moving way
1:31
too fast this makes me anxious so many
1:34
settings I'll show you that in just a
1:35
second but I'm also going to show you
1:38
that you can also get some calendar view
1:41
you can get weather you can add the
1:43
clock there's a lot going on what you
1:46
need is you need the Kodak app to be
1:48
able to do some of the functionality but
1:51
most of it's on frame so let me zoom in
1:54
and let's check out what you can do with
1:56
the frame let's start by going to the
1:58
home screen which I can do by just
2:01
tapping on the screen and then choosing
2:04
the back arrow so you can see here's the
2:06
photo here's the weather here's the time
2:10
here's my Wi-Fi signal and there are all
2:13
these different options here and one of
2:15
the options is to get into settings so
2:17
first off let's try
2:19
weather and it takes a second or two to
2:22
register what you've done but I get a
2:24
nice bright weather forecast I can look
2:27
at the calendar
2:31
and notice it's showing me my pictures
2:33
in a little inset there which is kind of
2:36
fun but of course really what we want to
2:39
do is we want to go into settings so
2:40
let's do
2:43
that and settings include things like
2:46
internet connectivity but customize is
2:49
really where this is the most fun where
2:51
you can enable or disable a screen saver
2:55
and let's just see here are some options
2:58
we have here we can do a raindrop
3:02
clock and I actually have it so that the
3:06
screen saver never comes on cuz I want
3:09
to see pictures right and then my play
3:12
interval that's how much time it spends
3:15
on each picture before it goes to the
3:17
next and at its fastest I can do 5
3:20
seconds but I can also just as easily
3:23
say you know literally once a day change
3:26
the picture and that's probably too slow
3:31
why don't we do every 10 seconds that
3:34
seems good and then there are options
3:37
for animation you can decide when it
3:40
starts up should it go into this home
3:42
screen that includes everything we just
3:44
saw or should it go into picture mode
3:47
which is what I have I can adjust the
3:50
brightness the volume of the music and
3:53
speaking of which if we go
3:56
back I can go into music and I haven't
3:59
downloaded any so there's none in there
4:01
but I could certainly add some audio
4:04
tracks let's go to
4:06
video and I do have a couple of videos
4:09
let's see what it
4:11
shows and let's pick
4:15
one and if I had the audio on you would
4:18
hear my daughter also singing as she was
4:21
doing this and it was just a couple of
4:24
seconds and now we're on the next video
4:26
of my other daughter taunting the cat
4:30
there we go and you can see it is fun to
4:33
occasionally have live vide show up on
4:36
your stream and as always you can touch
4:38
and you can go back to the main screen
4:42
it's super easy to
4:44
navigate gets us back to the beginning
4:47
and I can go into album and I can manage
4:49
things so I can delete pictures if I
4:52
don't want them or change I might have
4:54
it Go in order reverse order of time or
4:58
what I like is random play
5:01
and then here we are so let's go to this
5:04
next one next one next one you know you
5:09
have an enormous amount of flexibility
5:11
here I really think they've done a nice
5:13
job with this and the app is not hugely
5:17
helpful because it doesn't let you
5:19
adjust settings but it does let you
5:21
share pictures and videos as long as
5:23
they're short enough so let me jump back
5:25
on camera in addition to emailing or
5:29
actually wirelessly sending photos to
5:32
the device you can also plug in a USB
5:35
flash drive full of photos or you can do
5:38
what I did which is use the included
5:41
miniusb to usba cable and plug this
5:46
directly into your computer now I will
5:49
warn you if you're a Mac User this seems
5:53
as far as I can tell from testing to
5:55
require a Windows machine so you might
5:57
have to borrow someone's PC laptop to do
5:59
this step but once you get this plugged
6:02
into your PC then it looks like any
6:06
typical Android device honestly it looks
6:08
like it's a smartphone so you go into
6:10
the pictures folder and then just drop
6:13
everything you want into that I have
6:15
over 600 pictures that I've loaded onto
6:18
this and that isn't even half its
6:20
storage and as you can see I've slowed
6:23
things down so that it's a little bit
6:26
calmer and in fact I'm probably going to
6:28
set it up so it's every hour or two it
6:31
will change pictures because I don't
6:33
want to be staring at it I just like the
6:36
discovery of having pictures and of
6:38
course if I get to a picture and I don't
6:40
want that one I can always swipe to the
6:42
next one so there's a lot of flexibility
6:45
with this device you can upload videos
6:48
up to 15 to 20 seconds it's very
6:52
constrained on what it can do it's not
6:53
really designed for video content um you
6:56
can add music you can have music playing
6:58
in the background I'm not even
7:00
demonstrating that cuz I think that
7:02
that's not an interesting feature based
7:04
on how I see everyone using these
7:07
devices but it's a great option and
7:09
finally Dimensions wise it's 11 in X 17
7:13
in by an in thick plus everything in the
7:17
back all told it's probably about 4 in
7:20
deep including the stand which I already
7:23
showed you so it's 5.2 lb so it's fairly
7:28
heavy I mean basically what you have
7:30
here is you have a computer that has one
7:33
purpose and it's designed very
7:35
specifically for that I think they've
7:37
got a lot right here I've seen a lot of
7:39
digital picture frames I've reviewed
7:41
digital picture frames and they all tend
7:43
to have really small screens and that
7:46
gets really annoying so I love this is
7:49
this 14.1 in display it's full color
7:53
it's Rich it's vibrant lots to like here
7:56
and lots of settings that is what I
7:59
wanted to share with you I really like
8:02
this this is going to be on the mantle
8:04
right next to my fireplace and
8:06
everything and absolutely I have these
8:08
600 photos already loaded on to here why
8:11
would I not want to be able to enjoy
8:13
them on this device so really one to
8:16
check out I do want to ask you to
8:18
subscribe to my channel click or tap on
8:20
that subscribe button hit that Bell icon
8:23
so you get notifications give me a
8:25
thumbs up if you found this of value and
8:29
we need to talk about the price so this
8:32
is the Kodak 14.1 in smart digital
8:35
picture frame and it is
8:39
$269.99 currently minus $50 dropping it
8:43
down to
8:44
$219.99 at
8:46
amazon.com that is kind of spendy but if
8:50
you think about instead of just like the
8:52
cost of one print and a frame think
8:54
about 500 prints and all those frames
8:58
and then trying to figure out how you're
8:59
going to actually have them all deployed
9:01
on your wall or on your mantle or on the
9:04
side table or something so the fact that
9:07
this is this big beautiful screen makes
9:11
it really fun I really think this is
9:13
worth the money and yes it is expensive
9:16
but you're paying for a big display
9:19
screen that's where that money is going
9:21
and as you can tell I'm a fan anyway
9:25
that's everything I got really hope to
9:27
catch you in my next video
