NIX Hu-Motion (12-inch) Review

Review: The Hu-Motion digital picture frame by NIX features a 12-inch display and motion detection, but also a hefty price tag.In the digital world, digital photo frames are the equivalent of socks, rarely getting attention and often found with deep discounts at major big box retailers or generic second-hand stores. Some of the larger tech manufacturers out there, like HP and Sony, have all but given up on this dying category of products. Instead, there have been a crop of second-string companies you might not have heard of introducing new photo frames.NIX Digital, a company that has been around since 2007, and that specializes in making digital picture frames, thinks it has a new concept on its hands: A picture frame that detects movement and turns on when someone enters the room. NIX claims that intelligently turning the frame off cuts down on energy costs and increase the life of the LCD display. Another unique feature of this picture frame is the size – 12 inches. Most frames on the market come in either 8 or 10 inches. Other features include a high resolution 800 x 600 pixel SVGA back-lit LCD display, 2GB of internal memory, a headphone jack, touch sensitive controls on the bezel, remote control, and support for JPEG images in addition to MP4 video files and MP3 music.
