These days there’s a lot of talk about digital frames with touch-screen menus.

Here’s the one fundamental problem with touch-screen frames: They’re a lot like stainless steel appliances — they seem great until you realize they show every fingerprint. With a touch-screen frame, you’ll touch the display over and over again in order to use the menu, which means you’ll have dozens of fingerprints on your frame.

Would you put your fingerprints all over the surface of a printed photo? Of course not and for good reason—it wrecks the photo and your ability to enjoy it. You would hold a photo from the edges to keep it smudge-free. So if you’ve got a digital frame with a touch-screen menu and you want to enjoy your photos free of fingerprints, you’ll have to clean the display all the time. We think that’s a big hassle.

We also understand that over time some touch-screens lose sensitivity to your touch, making it more and more and difficult to navigate. That’s why we offer either easy-to-use remote controls or on-frame buttons that won’t put messy fingerprints all over your pictures.

Now you may be wondering, “What on earth is 4:3?” Don’t worry—we’re not asking you to do any math.

4:3 is the most common aspect image viewing ratio of photography. Unless you have an “odd” camera it is your cameras image ratio. It is an INDUSTRY STANDARD used by the vast majority of digital cameras. So if your camera is  offering picture sizes like 1280×960, 1800×1200, and 2048×1536… then it is a 4:3 ratio camera.  So if you want your digital photos displayed on your digital frame without any STEEEEEEERECHED distortion, you’ll want a digital picture frame that also offers 4:3.

While it is not standard for many digital frames on the market display in the 16:9 ratio, which means they WILL distort your photos.

Most photos are taken at 4:3 ratio, so your digital photo frame should display them that way, too.

To make sure your photos are displayed properly CEIVA offers  8-Inch Digital Photo Frames™ that have the 4:3 aspect ratio. We guarantee  which means that your photos are displayed perfectly. That’s our True-to-Photo™ image technology at work. If you load your photos onto other frames that don’t feature 4:3, your photos will appear stretched out, cropped off or awkwardly squished.

We think you should enjoy your photos just as you took them—without any distortion.
