DivoomPixoo Pixel Art Digital Photo Frame with 8.6 Inch Mood Light App Control, Desk/Wall Led Smart Clock, Decorative Lamp for Gaming Room Home Decor（Black）

The media could not be loaded. We already had a Divoom Tivoo retro TV and just love the pixel display, so buying the Pixoo was an easy choice!It has a larger screen than the Tivoo while still offering the same great pixel display with the additional option of using it either on a flat surface with the included stand or hanging it on a wall. It runs off a long-lasting battery so if you do decide to hang it on a wall you don’t need to run a cable to it, however if you do choose to have it wall mounted and connected to the mains permanently then it’s great to see that it was designed to lay flush as there is a cut-out for the cable to be attached.As we already had the app installed and an account created connecting was very easy. The Pixoo connects to your device using Bluetooth. Once connected you may be promoted for a firmware update which only takes a couple of minutes, great to see an active developer. Then you can explore all Pixoo’s possibilities.In the Discovery tab you are given the option of designing you own image, animation and scrolling text message - all offering a large variety of options. For those folk that are musically creative there is even a DJ mixer! Alarm, stopwatch, timer and basic calendar features are also useful. It even includes a noise meter! Using it to display notifications from popular social media platforms might be of particular use to some. We like to use the weather function and have it scrolling with the time, temperature and conditions (pulled from your connected device via Bluetooth).In the Channel tab you can customise what is on screen, the day it was delivered we immediately put it to use for a birthday celebration - a scrolling message and a cake animation were just perfect. There are a variety of other options to choose from, but one of our favourites is the Visualiser - making the animation react according to the ambient sounds it picks up using its in-built microphone.The Gallery tab opens what appears to be a limitless selection of community based designs which can be great to quickly search through. Designs based on just about anything can be found, suitable for any occasion imaginable.Music tab allows you to connect to some online radio stations, but the sound will come from your connected device - unlike Tivoo it doesn’t have a speaker, which is perhaps the only negative thing I can find (of course, it would change the product slightly and increase its cost).Pixoo is a great device for both those less creative and with less free time and those with more time and ideas you can really personalise it and share those designs with a large community within the app.At the moment Pixoo is on offer and at just over £30 it’s impossible to fault - the amount of options it offers is incredible. For real fans of pixel displays, up to 4 can be connected together to form one super-sized display!

Pixoo frames are a lot of fun. It's my favourite non-essential item of the year.They're built very well with thick, matte finish (glossier products tend to look cheap) and the screen is bright enough to entertain my neighbours and passers-by and looks great in minimalist or colourful interior.As a motion designer creating pixel art is a great creative practice to do every day; the Divoom app is fantastic for this and there's a large, productive and inspiring community already out there creating some very impressive art and animations. The app itself is mostly easy to use with some nice UX for single and multi-screen arting and importantly, connects to bluetooth quickly and easily. I've tested with iPad, and Android and both work without a hitch.I'm looking forward to contributing some multi-screen animations to on the art-walks around these parts. In the meantime, I've given this house some excellent animated creepy eyes to give people something fun to spot while jogging past.
