Awesome Deal

The best Digital Frame in my opinion. I searched and waited and Overstock really came through with a great deal on this frame. I knew this is the one I wanted after reading many product reviews and Overstock saved me $70.00. This frame resizes your pictures, has great picture quality and is easy to use.

Good Picture, poor experience.

The maual that comes with this frame is almost unreadable on a Mac, which makes it difficult to discover the features. There is no information that tells you how the frame decides on an order for your photographs. Also be aware that it does not make SD cards available to the computer over USB, so you can't use this method to load photos on your card, only the internal memory (which appears to be about 12MB.
So, if you do setup your photos in 720x480 resolution they look GREAT in the frame. As I bought this for my wife to use at her office, it will serve this function well. But it won't be useful for anything else. I was hoping that with the onboard battery she would be able to carry it around and use it like a picture book, but that won't be happening. The controls are slow and basically... stupid, and there is no battery life indicator other than the one that tells you the battery is dead (it turns off... :-)).

So, Photo Quality GREAT. Value POOR.

If you care about quality ...

I have tried the pandigital 8" and CTA 15" digital frames in addition to the Phillips frame - in my opinion, in terms of quality the Phillips digital frame blows the others away. The quality of the phillips frame was evident even before I turned it on. It is built solid and the frame arm is sturdy stainless steel. The others were plastic and felt cheep. Furthermore, the pandigital frame arm failed to stay in place and resulted in the frame needing to be secured by another means.

In my opinion, in terms of image quality the Phillips frame is far superior to either the Pandigital or the CTA frames. The other frames rendered images that just could not match the contrast and sharpness of the Phillips frame. The Phillips image was more like looking a real photographic print. The other two frames were more like looking at a photograph in a newspaper.

It is true that the Pandigital 8" and CTA 15" digital frames both have features that the Phillips does not such as movie playing and remote controls.  more

Easy to Use!

The wood frame is very sleek & good-looking. The screen displays crisp, clear images. The very best part is that all you need to do is stick your memory card full of photos into the frame and voila! Another reviewer had stated that it wouldn't accept photos that had names like birthday.jpg and would only take the usual IMG_1410.jpg, but I didn't find that to be the case. :)

good- with quirks

I don't think there are better looking, higher res or brighter displays out there. There are cheaper- but you get what you pay for- these are the best quality.

However, the software and interface isn't perfect. It's impressive I suppose to have a little OS and memory and a built in battery along with such a nice screen on a sub-$[...] device. But the software department is where it lacks- at first it seems amazingly well designed, but there are some problems. Doesn't play with inserted cards and copying without duplicating on internal memory very well. Tends to hang on last photo in slideshow sequence when playing from inserted card (but not from internal memory.) These problems led me to only load up the internal memory from now on and remove cards, then perform soft reset on the frame and let it play slide show from just the memory after that. Then it works and is stable - but this isn't ideal for frequent interfacing with the device- only if you are going to have the same pics on it  more

Philips Picture Frame is Amazing!

I bought several of these for my older relatives, so that they could have pictures of their grandchildren. They don't have a computer to view pictures on they have way too many photo albums as it is. Therefore I was hoping that the frame would be easy to set-up (for me) and easy to use (for them). It was! I didn't even have to bother with the software. I just plugged it in to my mac. It showed up as a drive on my desktop, so I dragged my photos over to it. DONE. The buttons on top makes it easy to hold and navigate for my older (non-computer literate) relatives. Though they usually just leave it on slide-show. They love them! Best of all since it also takes memory cards. I just mail my relatives a new memory card periodically and they mail me back the old one.

As far as stats. The picture on these things is AMAZING! They're solid (not flimsy like some other pictures frames I looked at). They orient horizontally or vertically by just turning the support arm. And best of all they have an  more

Good frame

This is a nice frame - but be ready to tinker with the software, which is not intuitive. Save yourself some time and just buy a SD card and a card reader and do all your image manipulation on your computer, not on the frame.

Great and easy

This is a great product. I finally can have digital pictures out to a frame whenever I want easily. The brightness level and pictures look great.

I also want to clarify a few things other reviewers have stated. This product does have a really great user manual, but it is on the CD that has the software to load your pictures. So, there is only a quick start printed manual, but the FULL manual is on the CD and is easy to read.

Also you do not have to have all of your pictures oriented the same way. You tell it how you want the picture oriented (if you don't like the default) and that's what it'll use for the slideshow mode. Of course, in regular one by one viewing mode it uses the full screen instead - this is good and the way it is supposed to work. I'd hate to want to display a vertical picture and it wouldn't let me use the full screen.

Anyway - I haven't had any problems with it, find it easy to use and to setup. So just enjoy all your pictures and watch how everybody who  more
