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.

Hurry! This Samsung 75-inch 4K TV can be yours for only $550 today

The Samsung TU69OT 4K Smart TV on a media cabinet in a living room.

Samsung is one of the best TV brands on the market right now, and if you're looking to pick up a new TV, then going for one is a smart choice, especially if you're already in the Samsung ecosystem. One great option we've found is this massive 75-inch Samsung TU690T that's not only packed with features but also has a nice little discount that will save you a bit of extra cash. While it usually goes for $580, you can grab it now from Best Buy for just $550, which will save you a tidy $30.

Why you should buy the 75-inch Samsung TU690T
There's a lot to love about the 75-inch Samsung TU690T, least of all being its massive size and the fact that it not only runs at 4K but even has an internal upscaler that will upscale your older content to 4K. That's perfect for those who love to watch older shows and don't want to lose out on quality with a newer, bigger TV. In a similar vein, the support for HDR 10+ means better contrast and image fidelity for your content, and while that won't apply to older upscaled content, it will apply to newer streamed shows and films.
