I had a misunderstanding as to how photos were loaded into the frame. Having just bought a MP-3 player where I could transfer songs directly to the added external memory I assumed I could do the same thing with the photo frame...wrong. The frustrating part is the horrible Philips customer service. It took 3 different support people and a promise - never fulfilled - that I'd be called by a supervisior to locate a person who knew that I had to load the memory module separately to make the frame work. Sheeeesh. You can be certain I will never again buy Philips products simply because their customer support is so BAD.
Great value, fine resolution, easy to operate June 27, 2007
I selected this photo frame based on reviews. This should get 4 1/2 stars if possible. I never ran the demo but I had it going within minutes of plugging in and copying my own photos to the internal memory. I know all about resizing images. The images I loaded were no larger than 50K, 640x480. Then I loaded up a Compact Flash card with 211 such photos, a total of 9 MB. I don't know what the upper limit is, probably only the capacity of the card. The images were shot with a Canon originally. The frame knew which to display horizontally, and which vertically. The display is about like a 4x6 photo - if you like the image in that size, then it will look fine in the frame. Like a 4x6 print, landscapes may be less than dramatic. No fault to the display, though. It does not play movies, it does not claim to, and those models that do are a lot more expensive. So, to quietly display photos on your desk, and not be too audacious about it (buy the bigger frame if you want to show off), this works well. I can't imagine that metal or a colored frame would look better. White is classic and versatile. The black margin around the image is like a matt, and I like the effect. These things are probably going to get less expensive and more common.
Pros:
- you won't be disappointed in the image quality.
- menus are intuitive.
- buttons easily accessable.
- delay between photos, order photos are displayed, and transition are easily setable.
- it has an internal battery, so it is portable to another room for awhile.
- Timer is nice feature. Example: Auto on during work hours, auto off at quittin' time (it has a clock you set).
Cons:
- It is corded. But cord runs behind frame and off my desk invisibly.
- Frame stand is not tilt-adjustable. Choose horizontal or vertical and make do with angle the factory sets (which is fine, but I would prefer tilting it up slightly more).
- I only liked one of the transitions: "none". The others were hokie. "Fade" was not too bad. This is why I gave it four stars. A cross fade is more hypnotic, a wipe would have been fun.
- It appears to display using sRGB space, not Adobe RGB. If this doesn't mean anything to you, forget about it, you are shooting in sRGB. There is not much difference anyway.
 Best digital frame option out there June 23, 2007
I recently bought this frame (in the "wood" option) for my father after extensively researching my options. I couldn't possibly be happier with my choice. My friend, on the other hand, found a cheaper option and it shows. The quality of her screen is very inferior. The Philips screen, as so many others have written, is crystal clear. The brightness can be controlled manually, and it even can be set to be different levels of brightness at different times of the day.
As others have stated, you can't run it on battery forever. We wanted it as a stationary object, so that's not a problem for us. If you want something that runs on battery to show your friends your digi photos, why would you want to be holding a big frame like this in your hand anyway? Buy a digital keychain or something.
I've just logged on to buy one in "white" for my mother, who is insanely jealous of my dad's!
Great Frame June 1, 2007
I bought this frame for my wife for Christmas. It's worked great since then. The picture transfer software is a little slow but we only use it every once in while anyway. I would definately buy this frame again. We love it because we have a way to look at all of our digital pictures that we told ourselves we were going to print out. Now we can look at our pictures every day instead of digging into a folder on my hard drive every once in a while.
