The next time you walk by a photo frame that turns on automatically, don't jump out of your skin and call the Ghostbusters. It is most probably the Monet LCD Photo Frame that boasts a built-in motion sensor that turns the screen on automatically when it detects movement within its range. The 8" screen is capable of displaying photos in 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, although anyone opting for the former would be disappointed by the picture quality. Two models support MPEG movie playback and come with a credit card-sized remote control. The 640 x 480 model will retail for $175 while the one with MPEG playback is $25 more expensive, and the 800 x 600 MPEG-capable model is going for $250. More features are available after the jump.
