The Seed frame is a simple but elegant design, with power being provided by a supplied USB adapter. Physical Features and Power Flexible stand Very impressive indeed! Clearly is wasn’t just me who was happy with this product. At this point I also noted that the Seed has over 2,200 reviews on Amazon, and is sitting with an average score of 4.4/5. For $179.99 ( $139.99 for an 8″ version) this seemed like excellent value to me. It’s built well, designed well, comes with a remote control (something the expensive Meural was sorely missing), an IPS screen with reasonable viewing angles and a well thought out mobile app companion (iOS and Android). In fact, I actually had to go to the website and double-check the price one I’d had my hands on it. Nixplay would do well to simplify their lineup and create a more continuous aesthetic look for their frames, but nonetheless, my first impressions of the little 10″ Seed frame that I tested were extremely positive. The Seed is also available in four different colors. In fact the aesthetic difference between the Seed and the Edge frames are so great, that I would believe you if you’d have told me they were made by different companies. The Edge, for example, has a larger bezel on the bottom, making it look extremely awkward in a vertical orientation. Others, such as the Edge Frame, don’t look great. The bezel is nicely proportioned, and the angular design on the back is very modern. Within those two collections – Wi-Fi Cloud Frame and Digital Photo Frames – there’s a variety of sizes, colours, aspect ratios and styles available.Īesthetically, some of them look great, like the Seed frame that I was sent. There’s also a secondary collection of frames which are just called Digital Photo Frames, and these ones require the use of an SD card or a USB stick to get photos onto them. In other words, you can connect it to your local wifi network at home to send photos to it wirelessly from your mobile device, or to play them directly from Facebook, Dropbox, Instagram, Google Photos or Flickr. What I ended up with is the 10 inch Seed Picture Frame which is part of their Wi-Fi Cloud Frames collection. Very confusing! The Seed frame comes in a variety of sizes and aspect ratios. I later sent a link for their site to a friend of mine, and within minutes he came back and said the exact same thing. Frankly, it was so confusing that I just emailed them back and basically asked them to choose one for me. The first thing I did was to go to their website to check out their lineup of frames. Nixplay’s confidence had me intrigued though, so I said yes! One thing stood out immediately from that email: They had clearly read my extremely honest, and often very uncomplimentary review of the Meural frame, which means they must be very confident in their own products if they are that keen for me to scrutinize them! I get quite a lot of emails from marketing people who want me to take a look at their products, and due to a lack of time I have to be quite selective. Not long after publishing my Meural reivew, a company called Nixplay got in touch with me and asked if I would like to check out one of their cloud-connected digital frames. If you need something smaller and less expensive than Meural Digital Canvas that I recently reviewed, I might just have the solution for you.
