What to know about Skylight Frame 2 (10")

Skylight's current 10-inch touchscreen frame: a 1920x1200 display, 16GB of storage, email-to-frame plus the app, and offline playback. NBC Select tested it in 2026 and says almost anyone could set it up.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

NBC Select tested the Frame 2 in 2026 and says almost anyone could set it up. Its reviewer preloaded one for her parents. Tom's Guide, Windows Central and TechRadar praised the same email-to-frame platform on the original Skylight for non-tech-savvy users.

Each frame has its own email address, so a cousin can send a photo without installing anything. The screen is the sharpest at 10 inches in this lineup, and 16GB of storage keeps the slideshow running when Wi-Fi is down.

What to know

Skip it if you want zero ongoing cost and relatives will send video. Skylight's pages disagree on whether video needs the Plus plan, so confirm at checkout.
