Digital photo frames a threat to flat screen TV?

According to C/net Asia, WiFi digital photo frames - if they took off - could become a threat to flat TV screens.

"Controlled from far away devices, the digital frames can grow into the center piece of large wall space. Video clips from YouTube, reproduction of classic pictures from Renaissan Italy, sepia portrait of your granduncle who died in far Guadalcanal, or even silly TV show or two; all kinds of images could be displayed and turned off easily.

Thus, the WiFi digital photo frame with larger display (and an aditional tuner) has a fair chance to topple the reign of large size flat TV. If a cheaper and simpler digital frame could do a job perfectly, who would want to buy an expensive LCD TV?"
