Very pleased - especially for the price

I received the Coby 768 7" LCD frame whereas Amazon has the 758 advertised - I don't know what they improved or changed.

This is my first LCD photo frame. I've always held back because I hear horror stories of how bad some of the frames are especially at the usually high price. But for under $50 I was willing to take a chance and I'm very happy to report this frame is great.

Some things to note - it doesn't come with a method of connecting to a PC nor does it come with any sort of storage card. You power it up and get a generic series of photos on screen, so if you don't have a way of reading a memory card then you'll need a card reader and card. It takes most of the recent formats, flash, SD etc and can read FAT and FAT32 formatted cards seemingly without problem. I had some Kingston 2GB SD cards lying around (bought from Amazon for about $5 each) and loaded them up with pictures and it's busy playing them now with a nice wipe transition between them. Sadly it seems as though you can't  more

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

What a Deal

Can't be happier with this product. I looked around for awhile before settling on this one. The picture is sharp and bright enough to see from across the room. I like the option of loading pictures to my flash drive. I can go back and look at all the photos I already have on my PC.
