Onkyo Digital Picture Frame Has HDMI Port For Secondary Monitor Usage

The Onkyo LPF10M01 could be the best digital picture frame ever. Why? Because thanks to a HDMI port, it’s so much more than just a silly digital picture frame. Think of it as a 10-inch portable display.

The 10.1-inch Onkyo frame works with anything that hooks into the HDMI port so you could use it to play video games, watch movies or just as a secondary monitor. The screen is LED backlit and Onkyo is saying its 1024×600 resolution is the highest of any digital picture frame.

The Onkyo LPF10M01 will go on sale in Japan for $US230, if it comes here, I’d probably end up buying one. [Onkyo via Crunchgear]

    Count me in. I’ve been looking for a display monitor for video recording.

    There are several digital frames on the market that also support a similar secondary screen function but via USB, for many people without cards that support dual video or HDMI, a USB approach is more useful. The downside with USB screens is they are really only good for 2d rendering, not 3d stuff (I mean regular 3d, not stereoscopic).

    For $230 I’d be more inclined to go looking for a small and cheap LCD TV that supports an image slideshow function, be larger and also function as a TV or PC screen with likely better resolution. Im not sure what the cheapest TV would be that supports these functions though.
