Art frames

Digital art frames are sold to show artwork rather than family photos. Ask where the artwork comes from, whether it needs an account, and whether any library needs a subscription.

Calendar frames

Calendar frames show a shared schedule, and some also show photos. Ask which calendar services they connect to and what access they ask for.

Same questions as any frame

Resolution, panel type, size, power, and account terms. Screen resolution, explained
