Great picture quality! June 4, 2008
D. Newcomb (Hampton, VA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this for my wife to have pictures of our new baby in her office at work. I had received a no-name brand digital frame for christmas, and have enjoyed having it on my desk at work. Now I am jealous of the one I bought for her. The picture quality is no comparison, the Phillips is perfect. And it also has a collage feature; every so often in your slideshow, you can have a collage of several pictures come up. It has a neat feature like the iphone, when you turn it to vertical position, it reorients the picture.
The only thing I wish could be better is that you could set it so your slideshow automatically starts when you turn it on. You have to go through several menus and figure out how to use the buttons right just to get it started. But I would definitely get one of these again for the picture quality.
Good digital frame for the money June 2, 2008
Linda M. Kennedy (READING, PA USA)
I purchased this frame for my mother, and it was a little tricky for her to operate at first because she is not technologically inclined. She was able to follow my written instructions to successfully operate the frame after a little practice. I like the way this frame fades in and out with different visual effects during a slide show. Overall, it is a good frame for the money!
Great gift purchase June 2, 2008
C. Schaefer
This is a fabulous gift item. It was purchased to provide a special Mother's Day gift. Using old photographs that were scanned into the computer and then transferred to the frame, the pictures were crisp and clear. It was a great opportunity to reflect the many years that were covered. Needless the say, the gift recipient was quite pleased; however, you definitely need to have computer knowledge when working with this item.
Decent little frame June 2, 2008
K. Olney (WILMINGTON, DE United States)
The only reason I'm giving this a 4-star instead of 5-star review is the price. I got this for $50 in the Gold Box and would pay up to $70-80 for another one for my grandmother. But $150? You've got to be kidding.
I shoot in camera raw (Olympus) and convert to 4x6 jpgs before importing to the frame. I'm able to store about 90 photos on the frame this way. I like that you can customize slideshows, change speeds, rotate images, etc right in the frame. Very easy to use and excellent picture quality. I come from a family of photographers and everyone has been impressed by the resolution and accurate color of the screen.
This frame and accompanying software work great for me, but I have a PC. Can't really comment on all the Mac users' complaints.
 Use the included software. June 1, 2008
Max Beagleton (Clifton Park, NY)
It's on the small size but it is excellent quality with a easy-to-use menu system.
When you use the supplied USB cable to connect it to your PC, Windows will mount all the frame's memory ports (there are five, the frame itself has a small amount of built in memory, and four additional ports to accomodate all the memory cards you might add). Windows with look for the first available drive letter past C: and then add the ports sequentially, even if you already have something mounted there. Initally, it took me a while to figure out that I couldn't access my added CF memory card because my first available drive letter was F: and I had a network drive mounted on H:. I had to disconnect my H: drive before I could see the CF card in the frame.
It is tempting to just use windows to copy your jpgs to the mounted memory, but don't bother. This frame may not display them. Install and use the supplied software to copy your pictures from your PC to the frame. The software will optimally reformat the pictures as you copy them. In addition to fixing small differences in your jpgs internal format, the images will be resized appropriately for the resolution of the frame. Doing that you will be able to store MANY MORE photos on small memory cards. You might already have one lying around your house, left ver from a digital camera memory upgrade.
