Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The picture quality is good.Bright, good contrast and nice color.However there are other issues with this photo frame:
1.The advertised panel resolution is 800x480.However, it turns out that the actual "displayable" resolution is only 720x480.I noticed that the specification indicates "effective viewing area" of 9.4" versus the "LCD size" of 10.2" but there is nothing about "effective resolution".720x480 is not much better from 640x480 while 800x480 sounds close to 800x600.
2.The provided Photo Manager software and the "Smart Photo Storage" firmware crops/scales the pictures to 720x560 pixels only.So, when displayed, the "effective resolution" of 720x480 will crop out the top and bottom part of the picture, totally out of control.
3.The Photo Manager software will only save the cropped picture back to the same folder as the original picture by adding the letters "- new' at the end of the file name.So, after converting hunderds of files, it takes you long time to dig out the "new" pictures ONE-BY-ONE and move them out to memory card or to the photo frame.If the converted output can be saved into a different folder instead of the original one, all it needs will be selecting all files in the new folder instead of looking for them one-by-one.
4.The viewing angle is advertised as 110 degrees vertical.In fact it's about 80 degrees.To make it worse, it's not +/-40 degrees.Instead, it's -5, +75 degrees.That means if you put the frame on a shelf and sit down, you will only see very dark display.
5.Slideshow management is a joke.First of all, whatever slideshows created cannot be played automaticaly.Each time the frame is turned on, you have to go through the length menu to select the show to start.Even if a show is set to "All albums", it will only show pictures in the built-in memory.Pictures in the memory cards are not shown until you go to set up menu and go through the complicated steps again to select CF and start the show again.(You have to do this EVERY TIME).If the internal memory has no pictures, the unit will just get stuck when you want to start "Slideshow" by pressing the "Start Slideshow" button without selecting the memory card first.(There was once that it has got so stuck that no buttons will work - even the power button will not work.I had to reset the unit throught the "reset" hole).
6.It supposed to be able to turn on/off automatically with the preset timers.However, the auto on/off only works if you have left the frame on and let it turn off by itself at the "auto off" time.If you had turn off the frame manually, it will never automatically turn on.
