 Great Gift, Would buy again!!! September 29, 2008
S. Tinnel (Fort Worth, TX)
I bought two photo frames as a gift for each of my parents. It has a sleek black look to it, so it doesn't look cheap at all. Perfect size for a desk or table, not too big, not too small. Easy set-up for me, 30 seconds maybe. Plug in, turn on, put SD card in, it automatically defaults to Options, select View as side show and then Enter. After reading some reviews I was worried about the clarity of the pictures. I was pleasantly surprised. The clarity was really good, nice and bright. My 60 year old father could stand a couple feet away and still see it. I don't know if it makes any difference but I used a digital camera with 7.0 megapixels when taking my pictures. All in all my parents love them. I will definitly look for this one again if I decide to buy one for myself.
Good for the price September 15, 2008

I wanted this frame to display my pictures at work. It does what I wanted and looks better than I thought. The pictures look good and it is easy to use.
Good value with a caveat September 7, 2008

This is an economical digital picture frame with a small caveat. First, as if you needed this bit of advice, look for it on sale. A sale price makes it an even better value thsn it already is.
You get what you pay for. The screen is good-sized, but the resolution is a bit on the coarse side. Purists who want super-fine resolution will not be pleased with this unit - but they will pay three times more to get that super-fine resolution. As it is, the resolution on this screen should be adequate for most people. By the way, I found that reducing the images to 800 x 600 provides a nice balance between image quality and image size. Roughly 100 photos required only 36 Megabytes of storage.
There are thirteen transition mode and choosing a random pattern provides an interesting slide show. You can also choose the display time: 3, 5, 10 or 30 seconds.
Viewing angles are somewhat limited, but this isn't designed to provide auditorium presentations. Color reproduction is faithful to the original, so the time you put in on color correcting your photos will not be wasted.
The nasty part concerns image viewing size and a certain inflexibility in presentation.
That's the good news. Here is the drawback.
There are three display modes: Normal, Widescreen and Cinema.
Cinema strikes me as useless: it stretches the left and right sides while trying not to stretch the center to fill the 16:9 screen. The results are grotesque.
The Normal mode displays the original without changing the aspect ratio. Thus, regular photos will occupy only a portion of the 7" screen, which strikes me as something of a waste. So, either crop your photos as close to a 16:9 ratio as you can or live with the black sidebars.
The Widscreen mode enlarges the photo to fill the 16:9 screen. Note the word "enlarges". It lops off parts of the top, bottom, right and left sides and adds a somewhat unappealing stretching on some photos. The close-up you took of Aunt Margaret will add the appearance of about of thirty extra pounds to her face.
Your best bet to optimize the value of the 7" screen is to take the extra time and crop to a 16:9 ratio. Alternatively, you can just leave a lot of space around your main subjects to accomodate the trimming of the image in Widescreen mode.
On the whole, this is an economical digital picture frame withe caveat discussed above. Do look around for this on sale to maximize value.

Good for the price. Pretty hard to get the memory card out without using a tool. Grandma was really happy!

I was very pleased with the picture frame and the timely manner in which it arrived. It was for my friend for her birthday and she loved it.
