Has anybody bought one recently and can make a recomendation, please?
It would need to capture photos from an Android phone.

As you go upscale, they turn into full fledged computers.
So naturally, a non-technical user is going to get caught
in the headlights.
In the user comments, a user mentioned uploading 166 photos
to this thing, and then it will only rotate a 50-picture set.
Which completely negates the idea of having a "giant memory"
on the unit, if you have to constantly fiddle with it, to
see your photo collection.

The stupid things should come with an SDK and a copy of
"C programming for Dummies" :-)
I'd tell you to "buy a monitor plus an RPi Zero and
write your own code", but that would be mean. It's
a matter of "the hardware is fine, the firmware,
not so much". Which is just as true of my new refrigerator,
as it is of these picture frames. The next time I buy
a refrigerator, I'm "going to ask for source code".

The largest photo frames, come from TV companies.

There are what appear to be user manuals,
at the bottom of that web page.

A 65" picture frame gobbles a lots of watts.

This is Swahili for "I turn off the Art Display
when no one is in the room". It has sensors.
It can also eavesdrop, record things it is not supposed
to hear, and so on. You can tell from the product spec,
the thing is a "tech fortress". I'm pretty sure it has
an accelerometer and a humidity sensor :-) It knows what
you ate for lunch.

That is a lot of power draw.
It probably functions as a space heater, too.

It's 120Hz capable. It would probably convert your movie to 120Hz for
you and make it "silky smooth", all while heating the room.
I wonder how you cool such a flat device and dissipate
215 watts. Hmmm.
The other thing I didn't show you, was there is an accessory
for the device, that rotates the entire panel on the wall.
So that if something requires "viewing in portrait", the
device rotates for best effect. No corny ideas were rejected
at the product planning session.
