 If I could award minus stars June 4, 2008

After I unpacked the frame I tried unsuccessfully to load photos. I called Philips support and was told that my jpg's couldn't be loaded and that only jpeg's could be loaded. The agent suggested that I download a free program that changes jpg's to jpeg's and I did so. I then changed some of my photos to the jpeg format. Then I retried to load them into the frame and once again the process failed I called Philips support once more and explained what I had done. They told me that the frame was broken and that I should send it back but they refused to pay for the postage. I returned the frame to Amazon (free postage there).
Ok but not great. June 3, 2008

A few things stopped this one from being great.
1. I would have been nice to be able to put more pictures on the frame and not have to use any memory card.
2. The picture of the baby could not be removed from the frame memory. It kept giving the message "Operation failed."
3. A lot of prep work required for pictures to look good in the frame.
I did appreciate that when the frame is turned the picture turns with it.

The picture quality is OK, nothing to write home about. I bought this model mainly because of the sentence from the product description here at Amazon that says it has three timers to turn it on and off. Not only does it only have one timer (no weekend timer like advertised) but that timer initially would not work. Turned out after much frustration that and time that the english version of the manual has a translation error. Rather than simply saying "turn on" or "turn off" the settings say "start dim" or "end dim." And the meaning of those prhases are opposite their normal meaning. The one timer included in the settings does work though, but I would have preferred separate weekday and weekend timers as advertised.
One thing everyone should know about all digital frames is that you should resize all your pictures to the frame's native resolution - this one is 480x234. I used a free photo editing software called faststone - and not only does resizing make your pics fit the frame, but it drastically reduces the size. I fit 4000 resized pics onto a 2GB SD card and it barely used 500 MB. Just be careful not to replace your full size images. Copy all your pics to another directory and then resize them. As far as this frame goes, I will keep it but I wouldn't recommend it. I think it is over-priced.

This was my first experience w/a digital picture frame, and I thought to myself, it should be easier than this. I just wanted to put a couple pics on this for my Mom as a mothers day gift. I didn't want to leave a memory card in the thing the whole time so I decided to use the onboard memory. Well, there is no way to write to this memory using the USB cable. I thought this would be a common feature to include, but anyways, I ended up transferring photos from a USB thumb drive to the photo frame. That worked alright, but as mentioned by someone earlier, Phillips included a picture of a baby on the internal memory that cannot be deleted. I happened to have an old SD card left over from a previous digital camera, moved the pics to that, popped that in the photo frame and mission accomplished. There is no easy way to delete(or transfer)multiple photos from the frame itself. Only one at a time. And you have to confirm TWICE before it deletes anything. I would think a digital photo frame would have some of the basic features that most digital cameras include (they are around the same price) but I guess you get what you pay for.
 Good value for the money May 17, 2008

Overall this is one of the best values out there. Here's what I liked about it:
- Looks elegant and the frame is not too wide like some other products.
- One of the lowest cost brand name photo frames
- Good variety of transitions (or use none if you want)
- Good variety of time choices to display photos (I prefer one minute)
- Several types of memory accepted
- Has built in auto on/off time, optionally works as an alarm clock, and if desired you can display the time with your photos.
- Uses very little power
What I didn't like:
- The picture looked about as good as any other brand but the quality doesn't compare to prints in frames in terms of color or sharpness. I think over time these digital photo frames will improve.
- The image is too cool and too high in contrast for my liking. I lowered the brightness of the frame in the setup menu. I also made a copy of my images in the computer, and added magenta and red and lowered the contrast and resized them down to 234 pixels high using a photo editing program. That really improved the look and lets me put thousands of photos on one memory card.
- My digital cameras don't shoot 16x9 format so the image doesn't fill the frame unless you set the option to fill the frame (stretch). I prefer images that are not stretched. It's better to make a 16x9 crop using a photo editing program or just be content that the image may not fill the full width of the picture frame. You have the option to display various colors (including black) to take up the unused space in the frame
- It's awkward to have the control buttons on the back but since I don't plan to mess with it that often it looks better than to have them on the front.
- I wish it displayed the date using various date options instead of just the Asian standard (day-month-year using only numbers)
Overall I'd recommend this item and think it is a good value. If you want to actively show slideshows to people and want to go through various folders of pictures etc. then you might look at the frames that have remote control instead.
