A 15-inch frame fills a room. It is big enough to see from across a living room and looks great on a wall or mantel. If you want your photos to make an impression, go big. The 15-inch category is where you find the best living room frames, the best wall-mount options, and the widest selection of Full HD screens. Most 15-inch frames come with wall mounting hardware included.

Resolution matters at 15 inches. Look for 1600 by 1200 or 1920 by 1080. Below that, photos look soft from a few feet away. The Pix-Star 15 has the lowest resolution of the 15-inch frames we cover, at 1024 by 768, and it shows at this size. The Aura Walden and the Skylight 15 are both sharp. Check that wall mount hardware is in the box before you buy.
15-inch frames versus 10-inch frames is straightforward: bigger screens look better from farther away. The question is whether the viewing distance in your room justifies the larger size. For a desk or nightstand, 15 inches is too big. For a living room shelf or wall, 15 inches fills the space properly. At 15 inches, you also pay more than for the same brand's 10-inch model, and the app experience is usually identical. You are paying for screen, not software.

At 15 inches, look for 1600 by 1200 or 1920 by 1080. The Pix-Star 15 has the lowest resolution of the group and it shows at this size. The Aura Walden and the Skylight 15 both have sharp screens. Check that wall mounting hardware is included in the box before ordering.
The Aura Walden is our 15-inch pick: a 4:3 screen that suits phone photos, a wall kit in the box, free storage and no plan. The Skylight 15 is the better choice if you want a touchscreen and email sharing, with video on its Plus plan. For living room art display the Meural Canvas II stood alone, and Netgear no longer sells it.
Go big with a 15-inch frame. Your photos deserve the space.
