Meural WiFi Photo Frame

NetGear debuted the Meural WiFi Photo Frame, a $299 digital frame with a 15.6-inch display and simple photo-sharing features. The anti-glare screen and patented TrueArt technology deliver life-like photos to be enjoyed from any angle and the premium woodgrain-trimmed frame makes it the perfect fit for any home or office setting, the company says.

“So many photos are captured on smartphones every day, yet many are not seen on screens that showcase them in their fullest, richest detail. With our new Meural WiFi Photo Frame we’ve created a new way to enjoy and relive those special memories,” said David Henry, senior vice president for Connected Home Products and Services at NETGEAR. “With the added capability to invite family and friends from around the world to create and share photo playlists and albums, this new premium photo frame will also help to keep people close in a time when we all need to stay connected.”

The Meural connected frame has several innovative features:

  • Schedule albums and playlists to show at different times of the day so everyone in the family can see what they want when they want.
  • Integrated sensors monitor the room’s ambient light to ensure the proper brightness.
  • The Meural WiFi Photo Frame also stands in both portrait and landscape orientations and auto orients photos and content to fit the display. Live Photos from Apple iOS and short format videos – up to 15 seconds – are also supported with Meural.
  • The Meural WiFi Photo Frame joins the existing Meural Canvas II family, available in 21-inch and 27-inch display sizes, which also benefit from these new photo-sharing features on the app.

The 15.6-inch Meural WiFi Photo Frame, as well as the larger Meural Canvases, include 100 sample artworks curated from an Art Library of more than 30,000 images from leading museums, artists, and collections from around the world. NetGear also introduced two content additions to the platform’s art library; the iconic Peanuts comic strips by Charles Schulz as well as a selection of spectacular video artworks from Sharecare Windows. Access to content provided by the Meural Art Library requires a $69.95 subscription.
