1.5 years in use and still going

i have two of these 8 inch digital picture frames with the 800x600 resolution. the picture is so sharp people mistake it for an actual picture at first. My tens of thousands of pictures have looked superb on them. And since it has the ability to play music you can have some background music playing while the slideshow is going. An excellent feature around Christmas. It is very versatile, accepting many media cards and USB drives. I paid $109 from Amazon for mine and it has been well worth it. I wouldn't hesitate to by more if I need them.

Limited to 2000 files, do not waste money buying 2GB cards

Just want to confirm that COBY's guys cannot count above 2000. This is their limit for number of files they will display. I bought two frames for my relatives and wasted money buying number of 2GB SD cards for them. Copied about 4000 pics to each SD, fortunately, before sending the frames checked the pics on them... Bummer! Only first 2000 are visible on each. Verified with a USB drive - same! Why didn't they mention this limit in the specs? Other than that, this is a good frame.

Sound does not work

cannot get it to play any songs after I downloaded some songs from Napster
photos are great and easy to load and show
instructions are simple
nice slide show
takes any memory cards
I would not buy one again since it does not do all that it was suppose to do, namely have sound

Photo Frame

This frame was given to my Mom for Christmas. It was easy for me to set up, but I will have to continue to load images for Mom as she is not computer savvy. However, she is looking at and for more pictures that can be loaded into the frame for viewing.

Excellent display quality, not so good movie mode

The display quality of this frame is incredible, sharp, bright and with vivid color. The viewing angle is also pretty good for this type of high resolution display panels. This is one the few frames with an LCD resolution of 800x600 and this clearly showed up in the details of the display. I was pleasantly surprised by brightness and the vivid color of the display. The color accuracy is also excellent. I guess the LED backlight technology helped. The price of $130 was also very good consider the quality of the display. My complaint with this frame would be that it can only display AVI video in the QCIF (320x240) resolution. I tried an AVI file with a resolution of 640x480 captured with a PC CAM. The frame would not display the file. This is a pity since the frame has a resolution of 800x600. A 640x480 video would look good on the frame. Another problem I had was with displaying some JPEG files. I had several JPEG files with screen patterns for evaluating the display resolution.  more
