Vinyl owners fall into two categories: those who play them and those who don't (but are still sentimentally attached to them). Both types might be interested in products that help them hang part of their collection on the wall, displaying those amazing covers and/or the discs themselves. 

Those who don't play the albums might be fine with frames that are relatively permanent—ones that aren't designed for easy album removal. Basic album frames abound, such as the acrylic one from MCS; it holds the album in place with clips.

Some frames are designed specifically for gatefold sleeves. This one from Frame My Record uses glass with either 45% UV protection or 99% UV protection (for an additional charge). Those who are focused on preservation will appreciate having that option.

Most frames for picture discs are square, but there are some round ones. There's no real functional difference, but the round frames allow for different types of displays.

Some frames, such as these from The Record Showcase, were designed for record owners who want to display both the covers and the discs themselves.

For vinyl lovers who play their LPs, different designs are required. The frames from Records on Walls make it super simple to take an album down and play it. They are designed to fit almost all LP jackets and can be finagled to fit the few where the fit isn't quite tight enough.

The frames can be installed on a wide range of surfaces using drywall screws, indoor mounting tape or flathead nails. If two of them are put side by side, they can display a gatefold cover.

The RecordWall-IT has similar functionality, but also includes a record post for those who want to display the record itself (and aren't concerned about leaving it out with no covering).

AlbumMount is another open album cover display. Since it's made from two brackets rather than a single piece of plastic, the height can be adjusted if need be. That could make for a slightly unaligned display, though, which will thoroughly annoy some end users. It's  also a very different look, in that the display system is less visible and the albums appear to float.

Other designs look more like standard frames but are designed so that it's easy to add and remove discs. The frames from Rock Art Picture Show are acrylic and include a black mat with a white inner beveled edge; albums slide in and out from the side. That means if there's a row of them the end user would need to remove the frame from the wall to change out the album.

The acrylic frames from Bands on Your Wall are open at the top; it seems this might accumulate more dust than a side opening. Since the record owner needs access to the top of the frame to reach the album, these frames would need appropriate vertical spacing to avoid the need to remove them from the wall. But it's an intriguing design, with the bolts that hold the frame together at the bottom also serving as a resting points for the album as it floats within the frame.

The acrylic Play & Display Flip Frames from Art Vinyl make it easy to get to the albums no matter how they're arranged. The design includes "sponge fingers" on the back of the frame to adjust to different thicknesses, so the frames work well for anything from a standard LP to a triple LP. And since the frame is fully enclosed, dust should not be an issue.
