With all the computational gadgetry that has to be packed into a digital photo frame just to make it display pictures, you would think that with a little work it could be configured to display more than just photos of Timmy at Disney World – and you would be right. Mustek unveiled the PF-E700 on Thursday, a multitasking digital photo frame that puts its display to work for a host of other features.

Besides pictures, the PF-E700 displays the time, the indoor temperature, a calendar, and even has a built-in alarm clock. All features are controlled through seven independent buttons, and show up on the frame’s 7-inch 480 x 234 LCD display.

Of course, it also handles standard image, movie and music files in a handful of formats, and has card slots for SD, SDHC, MMC, MS Pro-Duo and CF cards, plus a USB 2.0 port. Advanced photo features include automatic slideshows with multiple transitions and a split-window slideshow.

According to Electronista, the PF-E700 will go on sale in April for $150.

iHeartRadio turns your TV into a holiday-themed music photo frame

iHeartRadio Holiday Visual Playlists

iHeartRadio has a suggestion for Vizio smart TV, Samsung smart TV, and Comcast X1 owners this holiday season. Instead of flipping your TV to the fireplace channel -- which may not have a very inspiring music soundtrack -- why not fire up the iHeartRadio app and tune in to one of the streaming music company's "visual playlists"?

The new feature combines curated music playlists with holiday photo imagery for a continuous festive slideshow set to music. Holiday compilations like iHeartChristmas and iHeartChristmas Classics are the most obvious choice for those looking to get in the holiday mood, but they're not the only options. If you'd prefer to see visuals accompanied by fewer Burl Ives and Mariah Carey tunes, you can also choose from Top 40, Country, Kids & Family, 80s, Classic Rock, and other stations.

Samsung 65-inch QN85C QLED 4K Smart TV — $1,300, was $2,000

We find the QN85C to be sitting at just about the perfect price for a TV right now, while still maintaining the qualities and freshness of a much more quality TV. While it is 4K, it uses mini-LED tech, which allows for fine-tuned light control.
