The new Samsung SPF-87H digital photo frame does a lot more than just show you pictures of Uncle Joe.

Those of us around the StarterTech office have a bit of an obsession with digital photo frames.  The ability to display multiple photos, make them into slideshows and so on is just fascinating to us, but Samsung has really outdone themselves with the new SPF-87H model.  Thanks to a USB cable, you can place it just about anywhere near your computer and it turns in to a handy second monitor for your work.

Now, the screen isn’t huge by any means (800×480 Resolution), but it’s more than enough to move something like a Twitter application or the such over to it, and keep it off of your main desktop.  It will. of  course, also display photos on its 1 GB of internal memory, with room for more on SD cards thanks to its SD Card reader.  Power consumption also low if you choose to supplement it with USB power.

The frame is priced at $129, and is quickly shooting up my personal “Oh, I want this!” list for the monitor ability alone.
